did the jeep drive off??
not as in hit and run,
was it capable to drive off.

 

[philmots]

OUCH! That hurts mate, at least you're ok though... Walk away?

 

[SBV116]

Crap! another one bites the dust! glad your ok though!

 

[jjoe90]

Your forgiven. Was only doing about 45mph tops believe it or not. Anyone who knows the A706 will agree its not the kind of road you can speed on.

Now forgive me for joiniung two posts here,
but does anyone remember my arguement last week agains all of cliosport where that lad rapped his clio up, and the damage looked the spits of this, i mean the front bumper was about pused as far back, and he said he was only doing 25mph?
just apoint.

They're designed to collapse to absorb the impact to protect the driver. The front end will crumple. It's why they have a class leading crash rating.

 

[jjoe90]

not doubting that one bit.

Sorry to see that.

Bugger me Glad you're OK.

 

[Lagerlout]

Oh and in my experience when some tells you the speed they were travelling when they crashed you can nearly always add 20mph to it.

 

[miltage2]

unlucky fella hope you get it sorted out!

Had a bump similar to this in old 309 Gti....only had it 6 weeks and was totally gutted.......l never did get it back on the road as it was going to cost more than the car was worth.

I know how you feel....but like me you're ok and thats what counts

 

[Giles]

gutted

 

[Reyes]

that is sick..gutted for ya

 

[daveymacivor]

I agree with Laingo, the front is designed to crumple up like that, it looks a lot worse than the crash actually was. Apart from the airbags going off the inside of the car was untouched hence the reason iv walked away. Wouldnt like to see it in a higher speed crash tho.

Looks like the Clio did a good job of absorbing the impact by the look of that front end

TBH if you can walk away from something like that unhurt you've got to be somewhat relieved.
