Smashed my 182 christmas eve!!!!!

[Arran_182]

Probably my worse chrimbo ever. On my way to a friends when i took a corner and lost all grip. The car just went straight into the hedge. I then had to wait 2hrs for the recovery truck to pull the car out.

[Arran_182]

Dont know it was to dark to tell. Front bumper and headlight smashed in also the passenger door wouldnt open. so im guessing some chassis damage. also suspension damage

any pics mate?
want to sell any bits lol

 

[Arran_182]

the road has a 60 limit and I was doing roughly 40 around the bend. I was just going to quick for the conditions. The farmer said its a pretty bad corner and that I was the 3rd car in a month to have a smash.

It might not be as bad as it sounds . Being plastic alot of it might be purely cosmetic damage .

I pranged my 172 into a motorway barrier at 50mph , new bumper , headlight , wing etc .... £2500 of damage all sorted on the insurance .No suspension damage

Im leaving the insurance company deal with it.

Ill try and get some pics later.

Thats the prob with these country lanes with farm/field entrances etc. Theres a good chance the road was covered in sh*t....bit like Robs accident.

Good point i'll go and check the corner in a bit. If it is coverd in crap i'll inform the insurance company.

These roads are proper shite atm, Went to my sis's place for crimbo, came roud a coprner to find the tarmac was covered in mud from a field entrance.

I think it should be law that some sort of signage should be in place to warn motorists about mud on road. I know it would be difficult to be put in place, to many ppl would try and blame mud on road for accidents. Still some warning would be nice.

 

[GR172]

Still some warning would be nice.

There is one, I see it regularly at places where farmers leave mud on the road.

Though it's not used regularly enough. Unfortunately I think a lot of the time someone has to have an accident before one gets put up.

 

[Ian_182]

Sorry to hear this.Good thing is your alright

 

[Marky_]

Unlucky pal

 

[paul_h172]

unlucky fella!

 

[Ali]

Nightmare.

 

[Iridium]

Gutted mate

Still, chin up, accidents happen - at least your ok, that's all that really matters in these situations. It's only a car - metal and plastic at the end of the day - and it's insured

[Arran_182]

Its looking like im not gonna get my car back....I spoke to the repairer this morning and its pretty much f****d. These things happen I guess, its just a bummer that it took 5 years of driving before I smashed my first car.

 

[miltage2]

bad luck mate, as you have said its just a car mate, they can be sorted.

 

[Mostro]

There is one, I see it regularly at places where farmers leave mud on the road.

Never quite understood that sign - is that a full 180 spin then? :rasp:


Unlucky mate. It's really frustrating to have to drive so conservatively in a car like an E+RS Clio at this time but as this shows, it's well worth it in the long run......

 

[Marky_]

Never quite understood that sign - is that a full 180 spin then? :rasp:

That's always annoyed me too. It's not a 360 - there's not enough tyre tracks

 

[stinka]

unlucky aran mate it was a lovely motor as well

at least your ok and your insurance will sort it all

 

[player2301]

bad luck bro at least no harm to yourself so it dont matter at all

 

[HartZ]

Sorry to hear that fella, the main thing is that you are ok though

 

[Puressence]
