Diesel on the roundabout... Honest

Fix that? f**k that!
At least you did it right and the ass of the car hit the lamppost. Oh well - we've all done stupid s**t that's cost us lots of money.
I'm absolutely gutted for you about that lamppost and the Volvo though. That truly is rotten luck.

I crashed a motor into a lamp post years ago, after the impact i was sat reflecting on not dying, a second later the plastic casing of the lamp fell on the bonnet. I fcuking shat myself, actual poo.

I crashed and wrote off a crx years ago. Going too quick and was wet. Sideways like a hero on the bend ended up on the other side of the pavement and clipped a lamp post which span me round. How I didn't die was no ones guess. 12 months later my best mate was involved in an accident in the same spot and sadly died. Wouldn't say I forgot about that story but it's not a nice one.

Funny you should mention that. I wasn't impressed with the ambulance that attended.
Turned up, waked straight past me to the lady from the Volvo. Fine although they could have acknowledged me. She had been talking with us about being fine as you'd expect but they checked her over and took her into the ambulance for about half an hour, I'm not sure what was going on but she came out afterwards and never said anything to me about injuries. No problems they're doing the job.
They then mulled about for a bit until one of them asked me if the Mazda was my car, I said yes and he said "you alright?" To which I said yeah I think so, and that was that. They buggered off.
Now I'm not injured, I ache a bit today in my neck and arm but nothing to worry about. I just sort of assumed I'd be checked out.

My last experience with ambulance crew was shocking. I genuinely couldn't believe what I saw and heard

Volvos don't have power.
T1Rs are the devil spawn of tyres tbf. The number of scrapped cars due to them must be fairly substantial.
Worst tyres I've ever fitted to a car, and by some margin. I feel sorry for the 18 year old who buys my ST. They are bordering on dangerous in the wet.
Glad to hear you are ok mate.
Here is me, being Ironically Ironic taking out the 'Safe for Overtaking' sign.
I was going a bit faster on every lap, entered Quarry corner at a billion mph, got half way around, got on the throttle a bit too early and it snapped - I caught it one way, but it flung the opposite way quickly. I hit the brakes to let it spin in - at Combe you ALWAYS spin in.
Quite impressed myself, splintered the board into many, many pieces

I'm open to ideas but I fancy one at the moment. Budget of 5-6 grand for a car but insurance is my issue now. A 197 is getting up towards 2k to insure.

Insurance gets expensive when claiming on your own policy as I found out this year , in the end it was cheaper to tell them it was modified (mapped diesel)
Well yeah, always declare mods..
