I personally think that is stereotypical and unfair.
I had a Nova Gsi at 17, payed for by myself, it meant the world to me and wouldn't of ever dared crash it or drive like an idiot!
Got the valver at 18 and am nearing 20... and still haven't had a bump. Why? Because I no my limits and don't drive like a complete fool. It's all about self control...

its true, my 1.2 goes more than fast enough to lose it at silly speeds on a corner. its all down to how you drive age and experiance doesnt always matter.
because of the milage my cars worth fuk all really and i know that if i write it off im never going to be able to afford anything half as good as it so like Mish_16v says it makes you think about what your doing

glad you made it out ok, had a similar smash in my old 306 that i was lucky to walk away from. Car ended up in the same kinda state.
Makes you think a little, I still have to have the odd thrash though, just to get it out of my system, but i always remember the accident. So accidents aren't always bad things. They are one of the best, and certainly easiest to lear, lessons in my opinion.

hiya guys cant sleep that well cant see that well but here goes
that crash happened in a 60 on a sweeping bend i was doing 50 because i thought there would be ice as it was patchey and i didnt wanna risk it too much but the car still slipped i managed to get it back once but it kicked again and then i was in it for the ride all i remember is goin majour sideways and then a bang but from what ive been told (by a guy from work who was folowing me at the time) first i hit a small kerb then 2 concereet posts and rolled into a ditch about 9ft deep when i came to i had bloodi n my eyes to i couldnt see and i also had fuel all over me i heard voices then i heard 1 guy say he was a paramedic and i better get out because the car was gonna tip over again so he directed me to the back and out the boot but i cant remember acctualy getting out next thing i remember is waking in the ambulance and he put me on a spinal board and full neck and head brace
i was told later on that night that the only reason i survived was cuz of 2 reasons firstly because i drive round with a gangsta lean on my driver seat and secondly because the seat broke in half all i can say is driving like i was in a deckcharir saved my life
a few of my friends have been round and they both said i was a lucky b*****d which i know i am one of them said he was beging to think i was indestructible wich made me laugh but i always have had a way off not noticing pain all that well and not caring bout cuts and gashes that much so i guess being a bit crazy has helped me stay positive and just take this as a minor set back
at the moment i feel not too bad just in a little pain here and there. the advice i give is
1) dont drive over 40mph on ice if that
2) dont go home a way you dont know in these conditions
3) try not to hit concreet posts and land in a ditch it aint fun
that for all your responces positive or negative
cheers Dan

ouch sounded like a bad one matey, hope you get better soon.
best thing you can do is get another car sorted out and get back on the road

yeah fukkin big diffrence between someone having complete control over the car they driving, on an empty motorway at 3 am.....and someone not havin control/skill to control the car in a serious situation....crashing writing their car off and almost killing themselves and could easily have involved others
iv not met the guy, he is very lucky, but from wot iv read he was an accident waiting to happen...whereas adi cud handle his cars.... and drove accordingly.
btw loki...wot was ur mate from work driving? if u hit it at 50 in a williams and caused that much damage, he obviously wasnt travellin much slower yet he got round, maybe the car u want is wot he was driving.
Just buy another williams but cage it
1.2 16v Dynamique
Jesus mate that's nasty, at least you walked away from it, hope you get better soon dude....
Nasty. I was wondering where your head was when that roof came in - very, very lucky you drive lying down and no one else was involved. You can still have plenty of fun in a 1.4 or 1.6 and will give plenty of time to get really good at driving. You've got another 40 years of driving ahead of you dude - don't rush and spoil it.
Don't think dropping your speed to 10mph under the limit is a quite enough when it's icy but I'm sure you've learned that now. I used to have a badass wideboy mini - 10" wheels, 7.5" wide. That was bad in the wet and impossible on ice.
Get yourself something small for the road and go get karting on the weekends!!!!!! That'd put a grin on your face.

Jeeze i didnt realise he was from the SW meet! Very lucky to get out of that, where did it happen?
Get well soon matey.
Get well soon matey.
It is - the narrow tyres cut through the snow or ice, whereas wide tyres have more area and struggle more to cut through to the road.
That's why ice racers that you see have super-skinny tyres with studs on!

Alright Wilko!
I'll have to pop round over the weekend again! How's the recovery? I showed Dawn the picture of your injurys, she said you look like a pirate with that black eye and head bandage.
PS - In his defense. It happened in a village called Severn Stoke. I use that road on a daily basis and it is a very nasty set of corners! Let alone in icy conditions!
