BLOODY HELL Rancid.
these things never look as bad in the photos.
Everyone has laughed at me as I have said to mind the roads over the last few months.
I was doing 45,000 a year and pulling 3 / 4 people a week out of hedges on the way to / back from work. Photos never show the real representation of the damage.
I am pleased to hear that you are in one piece albeit battered and bruised.
However... and your dad might not like me saying this, but you have posted a picture up of the car... I have seen a lot of clios (Williams, 16v, and all of the others in a wrecked state) and you are one lucky boy. I haven't however seen a clio with that much damage who was doing 60 MPH. Either you were very, very unlucky with the angles that you hit / what you hit, or you were travelling in excess of the old speed limit. None of us are saints 100% of the time, and I am not passing judgement or giving my opinion on the rights and wrongs of it. Am just saying you had a lot of momentum to do that damage.
Glad to see you safe.
I'll get the Champagne on ice for next christmas. ;-)
and on a lighter note...
