bye bye poor car :(

[twaiter]

hi guys, unfortunetly comming back from kilmarnock on sunday morning my back tire blew on the m77 at 70mph and the car went a-wall!
i had 3 other peeps in the car! but we're all ok.

done a couple of 360's then ended up going backwards down the m77 lol, i just wanted to avoid going across the road tbqh.
so the insurance company has the car just now for evaluation blah blah..
thought i would let u's know.

Poor litto clio

 

[water_1990]

ur very very very lucky

 

[twaiter]

cheers guys, yeh im told i controlled it well with the guys that stopped behind me, i managed to hit the railing side on instead of head on because it was one of the steel cable kind! the road was damp which is what makes me think caused it to be so uncontrolable!
the passenger seat air bag deployed and when i went to start it it would.. just turned over?
what u's think? right off?

 

[Hutchie]

pics of a roll would be more spectacular but your a lucky dude if you ended up facing wrong way could of had someone plow into you, not nice

and not starting is the inerta switch (the one that turns engine off it you have a crash to stop fires, theres a reset under the bonnet

 

[Barron]

eeek glad your ok mate. What tyres were on it and how many miles had they done?

 

[twaiter]

oh well, there asnt to many cars behind me so it was better..
i was suprised at the hazzard lights comming on them self! was rather impressed lol! as for the roll... yeh lets not plz lol, im told they are commong to roll in ituations like tht!

 

[twaiter]

the tires where michelin about 3 month old, i had a puncture 2 days before this so the are was on, but the tread was all good!

[Alan]

[Pettsi]

[twaiter]

[R1XPH]

Thats must've been frightening :S

Is that a space saver? They allowed to do M way speeds thought they had a limit?

 

[Alan]

Indeed matey tho its usually the unmarked 530d's and T5's i watch out for lol..

 

[twaiter]

nah its not a space saver, its a standard steel wheel mate.

 

[R1XPH]

Oh right looks like one of those useless bike wheels

 

[drummie]

Ouch nasty. Glad no one was injured.

 

[Beef-Mc]

Almost looks like a lexus lights now

Good save though.

 

[twaiter]

thanks guys, appreciate it!

[MeganeChick]

well let me know if you have any more questions

 

[.Gem.]

Oooh sorry to see that, but glad you are all ok!!

 

[rctempire]

Looks a mess, but least everyone is ok. That could have been a lot worse on that road crossing the carriage way would have been fatal indeed.

Glad everyones ok.

 

[twaiter]

that was my main concern as soon as the back end went out! i wad making damn sure i didnt cross that barrier! so i do bealive i done well in getting it side on! thanks for the support guys, hope the insurance company are gna be nice to me ...

 

[lemonnobby]

that steel wheel looks odd might just be me, but it dont even look like a renault spare. glad everyone was ok.

 

[theduck]

thanks guys, appreciate it!

Nice try lol

 

[Davey C]

Oft! Not good. As said though, you did well to save it being much worse. Always been a really bad road for accidents that, i know your's is a blow out, but the amount of fatalities on the M77 (the ayrshire part) is ridiculous, esp before they upgraded it all. The Glasgow part is safe though.

Love the new bit of the 77 down past the mearns to EK...flat out!!

Now that bits a different story. Downhill after the roundabout towards mearnskirk....quality!

 

[leeds_182]

I think the blow out was gods way of saying that lexus style lights are not acceptable on renault clio's.

 

[Timmay]

f**king hell - glad you were all alrgiht tho

 

[Rufstuf]

Shitter mate, glad you and your buddies are ok.
