i read your thread local ish to me! its a wonder i never heard anything on the radio!

 

[16v_paddy]

From the original thread:
Well I have the overwhelming urge to cry my F***IN eyes out

my valver is in a bit of a bad state

I was going to see d_diddy to sort some parts out after I finished work. Coming off the A52 to get onto the M1 @ j25, going down the slip road and slowing down for the lights I heard an almighty crash & some scraping, then got hit by something - a wheel, hub, part of a rear axle & suspension

- smashed my rear qtr window and hit me on the back of the head & then in front of me I see a corsa flying & rolling through the air, over the top of me, followed by a lamp post all landing in front of me

The lad drivin the corsa, said he hit the kerb at 70 & it flipped him all over the place, how the f**k he got out that car I do not know ( I'll post pics later)

My lovely valver is fooked

I've got no doubt it will be written off, the roof is creased, B pillar & door are bent in several places, the rear qtr window frame is deformed.

The adrenalin has worn off now & I think a trip to hospital is in order as my head, neck, shoulder & back are pretty painful right now

No doubt its a write off the structure itself is beyond repair imho, it's bent & doesn't drive straight

Don't worry I'll take the clown to the cleaners

I sort of feel sorry for the guy I've been on the giving and recieving ends of car crashes so I know how it works, we all learn from our mistakes some do any way

I didn't go to punch fcuk out of the kid as I seriously thought he was dead and since I deal with horrible sh*t @ work a bit of professionalism as well as shock takes over and you just get on with what needs to be done.....just going to be a busy day on the phone tomorrow

I will put pics up, just cba right now and havin a few beers with my m8s
I'll probably be drivin a celica gt4 for a bit while I decide how best to go about buyin another Mk1:evil:


they closed the slip road for a bit but it didn't take them long to clear it up & I drove home

Head, neck & back hurt like hell so goin to the doctor tomorrow

 

[Gray]

Jesus man!!!

I am sure I saw you the other day aswell, was going to spot a posted thread up!

 

[alanc1000]

bloody nasty, and shame about the Clio. That is the worst case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time that i have heard of in a while!

Glad your all OK, but even so, what a pisser.

 

[Eckascliovalver]

such a shame, great looking car:dapprove:

 

[B5 BDJ]

f**k me, sounds really nasty mate.

 

[Budgie]

Nasty stuff.

 

[conneh]

That sucks big time, looked very good before

 

[Ian_182]

Is it a proper write off then??

 

[Gavin.]

gutted mate! Your lucky your head is still on your sholders though

 

[Jamie]

Bloody hell looks like all came of lightly.

It's amazing what you can just walk out of these days - I am a testimate to that.

 

[B5 BDJ]

looks like a proper write off

 

[Fred@BTM]

is that riz's old V6?

 

[Brett]

Gutted for you, atleast you wernt hurt.

 

[16v_paddy]

Is it a proper write off then??

Got to be really, the B-pillar is twisted like a mutha fcuker - doubt you can repair or replace them :S would need a new door and a complete rear quarter panel, then painting. Would cost well over £1k for that to be done and it's only insured for £2k

is that riz's old V6?

Yes it is Fred, took those pics the day before, he was dropping it off to get sprayed by the guy who done my valver

 

[16v_paddy]

I've got an engineer coming to inspect it on monday, anyone had experience with this, anything I need to know or advice to give when dealing with the guy?

 

[nathanH]

Blimey! glad your ok.

at least its only a naples *cough*

 

[peter182]

naples is the best colour

 

[GarethM]
