Binned it! *WARNING DEAD CLIO*

[asrob910]

From my beloved clio looking like this on the Saturday:




To this on the Sunday, same road and only a mile down the road! Sorry folks living in Glencaple, Dumfries because took out a telephone mast too! Complete write off, cant remember what category mind you but its a can now!

 

[Chili Red]

Preceded by "Watch this!" I assume?

Looks pretty smashed, hope you're OK.

ps that'll T-cut out.

 

[Scrooge]

Nice effort.

 

[Darren S]

Ouch...

Hope you're ok? These little Clios appear to be tough little b******s in accidents.

D.

 

[Eddie.]

So what happened then?...

 

[JackJack]

This won't end well.

Oil on the road?

 

[Gally]

They are strong at the front, luckily because that looks like a dry stone dyke you hit.

Full story of the accident please.

 

[Ged]

be right, nothing a hammer and some polish wont fix How old are you by the way and when abouts did you pass your test?

 

[asrob910]

Jackjack how did you know? Was a straightish road, doing a very legal *30mph*, went along the road hit the oil and bobs your uncle, straight into the wall and span down the road and ended up in a hedge. Very lucky to walk away mind, heavily concust (told the copper I hit a badger, he then shown me the whole in the wall) after my airbags failed to go off! The only consolation is that if there was a passenger in the car theirs would've went off.. typical!

 

[DaveDreads]

Well if you're going to f*ck a car up, you might as well do it properly.

At least there wasn't anyone else involved
and you only destroyed a wall and telegraph pole and not someone else's car, apart from your own.

 

[Revels]

Unlucky mate.

Get a Google Maps link to the road.

 

[asrob910]

Only 19 so and passed when I was 17, definetly not experienced like a lot of those who have been driving for years. Being younger I thought I was indestructible, this was in September btw! Been a while since I was last on here haha!

 

[Eddie.]

Why did you leave the road if it was straight and you hit some oil?

Not trolling, but I'm surprised at 30mph with the wheels straight that it would cause the car to lose control.

 

[Gally]

In.

 

[MarkCup]

Oooh, you severely ran out of talent there!

 

[Silent_Scone]

Ouch. Glad you've walked away from it. Was someone going a bit fast?

 

[asrob910]

This is the road... Impossible to crash on it would seem haha!

Amazing how badly these cars crush up at just 30mph....

 

[MarkCup]

Not trolling, but I'm surprised at 30mph with the wheels straight that it would cause the car to lose control.

It wouldn't. At all. Unless there was braking or steering going on.

 

[DaveDreads]

Is that the telegraph pole on the left you destroyed?

 

[asrob910]

What speed do yous think I was going at? Not saying mind you

 

[Habitual]

Is that the telegraph pole on the left you destroyed?

Looks like it lol.

Glad you're okay fella.

 

[Eddie.]

It wouldn't. At all. Unless there was braking or steering going on.

That was what I was thinking, same as aquaplaning surely?! Do nothing and you should be okay.

What speed do yous think I was going at? Not saying mind you

40-50mph sounds a little more realistic.

 

[Eddie.]

.

 

[asrob910]

Braked and the rear started to swing, thats how on a straight road I went left haha! Thats the telegraph pole though and the house on the left at the time was on sale thankfully as no one was inside at the time

 

[Russ_16v]

looks like your o/s/f tyre needs some air in.

Wanna be carefull, could cause an accident

 

[DaveDreads]

Your insurance might have to cover the rebuilding of that wall aswell as paying for your car.

You're going to get bum raped the next time you try to get insurance.

 

[Knuckles]

Jackjack how did you know? Was a straightish road, doing a very legal *30mph*

What speed do yous think I was going at? Not saying mind you

?

im thinking 45+ i did less damage than that at 40 or under when i bounced off a lamp post

 

[Craigus]

Why were you braking there?

 

[Knuckles]

Why were you braking there?

inducing oversteer

 

[asrob910]

Why were you braking there?

Because the car lost control and was aquaplaning. Just didin't think at the time, would've been so much different if I hadnt!

 

[GSKingsbury]

A hammer might fix that !!

 

[DaveDreads]

Because the car lost control and was aquaplaning. Just didin't think at the time, would've been so much different if I hadnt!

Well at least you now know that going anywhere near the brakes is the last thing you do when aquaplaning,
just lift off the throttle and concentrate on keeping the thing in a straight line.

You learn by your mistakes, we've all made them mate.

 

[Cliotoby]

Amazing how badly these cars crush up at just 30mph....

They look fucked dont they. Thign is, ive seen 197's roll and hit barriers hard at cadwell park, and the chassis themselvs dont seem too phased by the occasion.

 

[.Adam.]

Fairydust kicked in y0!

 

[david_ntg]

Was wondering what th hell caused that! Was down that way the other day! Hope your okay mate!

 

[GRitch]

So wait, you hit oil and aquaplaned?! That was really unlucky...

Edit: my guess, you were nailing it round the slight bend, lifted off, back end swung, you tried to correct it. You failed. You ran out of talent and you crashed? Good job though. Glad to hear your ok.

 

[Lal B3N]

Least your ok, its only a car.

According to him he was diving in a straight line at a normal speed, hit some oil,
it got all squirmy on him, he touched the brakes, totally lost control and binned it.

There's no reason not to believe him tbh, he's young and made a mistake, it happens.

 

[andywa]

Looks nasty. At least you walked away.
