Another Clio bites the dust

[Rob_]

Spotted this at half 8 this morning in Stourbridge, West Mids.

Happened just before i approached the island, looked like someone had been going across the island too fast and locked up :quiet:

Had popped both driveshafts by the looks of it.

 

[_Kenny_]

another cup ffs....no wonder insurance companies won't touch em

 

[Frasers Cup]

That probably is repairable as long as the rest of the car is unmarked....

 

[Rob_]

Front end was proper caved in

 

[CabinFever]

Due to lack of ABS blah blah blah...Hope the drivers ok..shame that!

 

[specialK]

due to bad driving - not due to lack of abs - cars haven't always had abs you know, but not everybody drives into fences cos they don't have abs !!!

 

[Graham Gooch]

People know that the shell and airbag will save there lives, so drive with less care for their general health.

Crash an Morris minor and you die. Simple really.

couldnt agree more

 

[CabinFever]

Could you not sense the sarcasm in my post, was waiting for the lack of ABS responses, i own a cup!

Where abouts in Stourbridge is that? I often see a cup on my frequent trips to Stourbridge, guess I won't be seeing so many now.

I'd say thats a right off for sure.

Matts most likly going to be braking it for parts next week.

Ban airbags, and have a six-inch nail sticking straight out from the centre of the steering wheel.

People would drive a lot more considerately/sensibly then.

I agree ^

Was the driver ok?

 

[crazycup]

Hope driver was ok ...... well the value of my cup will be going up now not down if this keeps happening!!! They will be rarer than rocking horse sh*t!

 

[Iain C]

another cup down..
Weve been lucky with winter so far.
Well have to do a cup check in at the end on the month!

 

[Neil G]

That looks pretty bad

 

[Timmay]

ouch

 

[John D]

Oh no!! Not another one. Hope it gets back on the road

 

[DebV6]

Shame, hope the driver is ok

 

[Adey.]

jesus, not another one, tried getting quotes for mine when i first got it, some companys wouldnt quote because it was a cup, im guessing this is why. Any idea how many are left?

 

[tommyboy]

stupid Reno, why not put ABS on them!! can't they see with our weather and some of the driving standards in this country that a lot of cups will get killed over the autumn/winter months.

So its reno's fault people drive like dicks in bad weather conditions? Whoever was driving that cup fucked up, luckily there was a fence there and no mother and child walking along the pavement....

Be a wee while before they are rare matey, 2400 of the f*****s made.

 

[Leeshez]

Is it someone off here?

 

[GM_182]

Bad driving.

I don't see how no ABS is an excuse. Its not like its a surprise on the cup.

Hope the driver is ok - looks like a very expensive lesson to be learnt.

 

[Englebert]

Bad driving, were you there?

According to the DVLA there are under 2000 left, and that was about 8 months ago!

Very true about lucky the fence was there, and not a pedestrians, ppl really need to start driving within there limits, and take weather conditions in to consideration!

 

[kully]

ooooooooooooooh

Bad driving, were you there?

How can it be anything else, it was an island, a small one at that, how else do you lose it unless your driving like a c0ck?

There was no oil or petrol on the island etc

They could have swerved to miss another car or a person walking in front of them.

Without knowing the circumstances you can't comment on it being bad driving.

Had it been someone posting that they had crashed there car it would have been 'Really sorry to hear that', 'What Happened' but because someone else posted it automatically becomes bad driving.
