crashed last night

[chrishesketh]

so yeah, I crashed last night! I was driving across a local country road and as I have been coming up to a corner braking, a car has been pulling out their drive so I'm braking and went tight left to the curb to miss the car who has pulled out! straight after this the corner turns right, i curbed my wheel badly and managed to snap my lower ball joint!

garage is phoning me tomorrow to let me know the full extent of the damage, but im thinking new wishbones either side is my safest bet, and possibly need a new driveshaft as it popped out so I would get new ones for either side also!

fingers crossed that's all, will update when I know more!

also is anyone selling 1 or 2 speedline turinis? or possibly even a set if cheap enough? would be buying new tires anyway so rubber doesn't matter!

There were trophy turinis for sale a couple of days ago. Don't know if sold though...

Yeah I don't get what's happened, but unless you want to have your pants pulled down I'd get a specialist to put it back together from mostly used parts.

There's a set of turini's for £250 I saw earlier I'm sure?

Then get yourself a second hand driveshaft off of someone on here, or one of the clio breakers.

Then two new wishbones from Renault Wolverhampton. They come with balljoints iirc.

No more than an hour to fit the three, problem solved.

Full set of turini's, £250

My rough translation was "I was going too fast and binned it"

 

[GrahamS]

if you replace the o/s driveshaft I'll buy the old one

Doesn't look too bad though, Maybe a new rear arch liner, wishbone and that's it. Check the hub and tie rod aren't bent

 

[Chris_Beer]

I'll take the interior and seat belt set

He's clearly tried to avoid another car coming out on a drive, pulled hard left to not get T-Boned on the O/S, snagged the kerb, yanked out the ball joint and spun it at the bend.

Seems perfectly easy to suss.

I think it's CSI-CS actually lol

I think it's CSI-CS actually lol

CSi-CS would imply its located in CS which is a non existant place (or if it isnt wheres my invite?!?!?)
CSSI means Cliosport scene investigation, which is full of scene investigators looking at clios. which more accurately describes the activity that the CSSI'ers on here love taking part in

CSI - the original - set in Vegas
CSI - New york - set in new york
CSI - Miami - Set in miami
CSI - CS - Set in where...CS? where the f**k is that?
CSSI - Set wherever theres a clio accident (or any other accident for that matter )

 

[GiT]

CS - Is everywhere! Durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! lol

The curbing of the wheel came after the car reversing out of its drive.

Having successfully and safely avoided them it's then promptly been binned at the next bend.

Because...?

LOL CSI skill set not needed here. It's pretty obvious/common sense what happened.

 

[Jaff.]

i wasnt able to understand the first post so perhaps some reading lessons would be better for me...

That's how it reads to me...?

Would have been braking surely as soon as the car came into view? Car avoided then even after speed has been lost from braking corner is not made.

Do you really think the car in red exists?

 

[Jaff.]

This is how I seen it...

“Has Anyone Really Been Far Even as Decided to Use Even Go Want to do Look More Like?

Only if I take the first post at face value. Even the rear wheel has been scraped so 100% flat to a kerb.
