Just Crashed! Contains Epic fail - None declaring of mods, lol

[Mattb.SHED]

Was following my mate in his 60 plate RS Focus to Altrincham to get it valeted etc for an RS meet on Saturday. The traffic in the left lane was bad to we pulled out into the right lane he ballooned off cause the sound is amazing, so I followed, SLOWLY! He broke to slow down and I did the same, my wheels locked up and I slid straight into the back of him I was only doing 25-30mph, but the road was wet and as my cars low its done alot more damage than usual, shattered the grill, few cracks in the bumper and cracked headlight, also bonnet is all dinted and raised absolutley devistated! I was more concerned about his car! Ill get some pics of the damage up soon!

Here is your flame suit...

Re: Just Crashed!

He floored it and you didn't? Yet you locked up?


I smell something :/

Re: Just Crashed!

Clearly going too fast, too close, or you would have been fine. Its just maths.

Still, could be worse. I crashed my race car into my road car on track with no insurance... I WIN.

Re: Just Crashed!

Nah the traffic was bad in the right lane so he broke, I'm not goin to try racing him, I have a 1.2 haha, he stopped I was doing 30 max and the wheels just locked up

Re: Just Crashed!

I call BS.

Going to fast, in the wet IMO, or lack of talent or s**te tyres

Feel sorry for the RS, at least everyone is ok I suppose...

Re: Just Crashed!

this tbh, maybe before the quick edit

You're tyres are either bald or you were flying. Don't see how he could take off, you don't follow and you still hit him

I'd also be so p*ssed if my mate hit my new focus

 

[Gally]

Re: Just Crashed!

That's what happens when you chase after fast cars that can out brake you.

Your fault. Hopefully the Focus isn't too bad.

 

[Christopher]

Re: Just Crashed!

You. Are. Fault.

I am disappoint.

 

[Mattb.SHED]

Re: Just Crashed!

I reckon it was my tyres, or oil? he knows I wasnt going to fast, I didnt have the distance to go to fast, he saw me in his rear view, and I know! im more concered about the RS!

 

[Stu_350z]

Re: Just Crashed!

Might as well be honest...

He floored it, you got excited and did the same....He braked, you didn't react quick enough, BANG

Re: Just Crashed!

what broke on his car?

 

[poobah]

Re: Just Crashed!

Valeting in Altrincham? Whereabouts?

I bet this was on the Washway A56 as people are always ducking between lanes trying to get 10 metres further down the road cause one lane is busier than the other. Does my tree in!

 

[Mattb.SHED]

Re: Just Crashed!

I am being honest lol, it was literally 50 yards, I broke as soon as i saw him brake! I was more than enough distance away from him!
His diffuser, his exhausts are lower than usual, and a crack, mines come off much worse, which is good.

 

[Mattb.SHED]

Re: Just Crashed!

It was on the way, at sharston round about, we were going to shinerama?

Re: Just Crashed!

It's amazing the amount of retarded threads that keep popping up here with "misleading" accident info, mostly unbelievable!

 

[G_C'lio_172]

Re: Just Crashed!

if he 'balooned' it and u followed 'slowly', surely by the time he'd got to the point of needing to brake harshly you would of been too far behind him to be anywhere near crashing into him. for you to need to brake hard enough to lock up at 30mph you must of been within a couple of metre of him

 

[Cooksport]

Re: Just Crashed!

going through insurance or are you going to pay for his?

 

[Mattb.SHED]

Re: Just Crashed!

Id say I was 10-15 yards away

 

[Mattb.SHED]

Re: Just Crashed!

Love how people try saying its BS lol everyone watched it from their front room did they?

Re: Just Crashed!

Was following my ex-mate in his 60 plate RS Focus to Altrincham to get it valeted etc for an RS meet on Saturday. The traffic in the left lane was bad to we pulled out into the right lane he ballooned off cause the sound is amazing, so I followed, with an enthusiastic right foot! for a brief moment I thought I was driving a 172 cup, He broke to slow down, I did the same (forgetting my car only has front brakes), my wheels locked up and I slid straight into the back of him I was only doing 25-30mph, but the road was wet and as my cars low its done alot more damage than usual, shattered the grill, few cracks in the bumper and cracked headlight, also bonnet is all dinted and raised absolutley devistated!

Edited with Truth

Re: Just Crashed!

Cant go through insurance, havnt told them about my suspension yet hes paying for his and im sorting him out further down the line

 

[Christopher]

Re: Just Crashed!

I was on the sh*tter so didn't see it all.

 

[Mattb.SHED]

Re: Just Crashed!

Liking the edit, forgot you were in the passenger seat

 

[Cooksport]

Re: Just Crashed!

Thats alright then, could have been worse. At least he is a good mate.

 

[Addicted]

Re: Just Crashed!

i have now seen the reason this week why insurance goes up, zzzzzzzzzz.

Re: Just Crashed!

Didn't need to be mate, having only front brakes tell the story perfectly!

 

[Mattb.SHED]

Re: Just Crashed!

Im not going through the insurance...

 

[Addicted]

Re: Just Crashed!

yeah because you have undeclared mods! which when you happen to be in another accident for when it is legally reported your insurance will be void
man non-declared insurers make me rage!

 

[172Ben]

Re: Just Crashed!

This gets better, undeclared mods.

Thank you for my high as standard premiums.

 

[Mattb.SHED]

Re: Just Crashed!

well when I pay for mine with cash then I'll tell the insurance company, they want an extra £250 a year, robbin c****

 

[Gally]

Re: Just Crashed!

Lols at picking holes in that shocking version of events.

Emitting the facts.

 

[mace¬]

Re: Just Crashed!

I reckon it was my tyres, or oil?

Thats it oil! Everyone else on the road has managed to miss the oil but you found it. Tough break.

 

[Christopher]

Re: Just Crashed!

SRS?

How do you know he's got undeclared modifications, out of interest?

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Re: Just Crashed!

Why do people put threads like this up?!

They crash because they've been driving irresponsibly, then admit to having undeclared mods AFTER having the crash....and expect sympathy.

I'll look forward to my insurance renewal in October......

Re: Just Crashed!

tight fisted attitude of "ah f**k it ,will be reet" people like yourself that get us all bummed by "the robbin c***s" on an annually basis

 

[SimonR.]

Re: Just Crashed!

Paid for insurance in cash?

Bit risky through the post..
