Totalled my car this evening on way back from Milton Keynes :( Through a Fence

[lizard899338]

Ok, coming back from Milton Keynes and weather was aweful, came round a corner at 60mph on National Limit Road, braked and the car swerved into other lane skidding, swerved to avoid on coming traffic through a fence sideways

Completely totaled one side of car, boot and front head light Still drives!

Cheers

[sideways danny]

which road did you do it on?

 

[Poopensharten]

Flol, harsh

 

[Hutchie]

pics and price for the lot.

Feel gutted for you, but at the same time, you should know that in bad weather the speed limit should be lower. The amount of water I've seen over the roads today and the speed that people were driving, I'm surprised there hasn't been more crashes.

 

[JCC]

What nick is the steering wheel in?

Funny enough I saw another Clio crash tonight aswell.

 

[DannoTheGreat]

I demand pic's

 

[Josh2391]

Mine got crashed into today , feel sorry for you mate

 

[Beef-Mc]

On the plus side, you'll not have to pay for a cambelt and auxbelt change.

Get a mid mileage Trophy for 6k! Hard luck on the crash - we all learn from our mistakes

 

[lizard899338]

Will upload pictures tomorrow ... was dark by the time the crane came to lift it out of the field!

Steering wheel is in good nik!

Bad times bud :dapprove:

I crashed my PH1 2weeks ago today mate, s**t feeling but long as no one was hurt thats all that matters! :approve:

 

[lizard899338]

Yeah I know ... Police even said we were VERY lucky and advised me to go buy a euromillions ticket! The recovery cost me £500 plus what ever the fence is gonna cost!

 

[sideways danny]

where was it?

 

[lizard899338]

A421 coming back from Buckingham 10miles from Bicester

 

[sideways danny]

oh i know that well. Almost put a xantia in a tree along there

 

[TimR26]

Why are you breaking the car instead of going through insurance? One claim won't put your insurance up too much.

 

[Brett]

Hard luck mate. Braking mid corner really upsets the balance of a car, I learnt this the hard way too.

Glad your ok and hope it gets sorted easily for you mate.

What happened to yours mate? Didn't see a thread on it. Is it bad?

 

[lizard899338]

I'm only TPFT so cant go through insurance

 

[Dave..]

I'm only TPFT so cant go through insurance

Fail.

 

[Fletcher]

I'm only TPFT so cant go through insurance

Not good..

 

[lizard899338]

No trust me I am well aware of the error of my ways NOW lol.... £4000 still to pay on finance and somehow got to find £2000 for a new car!

 

[Poopensharten]

Its actually dearer for me to go TPFT on any car whatsoever, i really dont see how or why that makes sense

 

[AK]

£4k still to pay on a 172?! How long did you have it?

 

[172Ben]

You had a car on finance and only had TPFT?

O dear

 

[jenic]

You had a car on finance and only had TPFT?

[lizard899338]

[DannoTheGreat]

Same with me

 

[kevin.s]

unlucky mate, feel for you.

 

[lizard899338]

Thanks! I really cant see myself getting another 172 anytime soon... unless i can get one for less than £3k which i cant see happening

LOVED that car BOO!

 

[Fletcher]

dosnt matter how easy you take it mate, only takes some uninsured tw@t to go into you and thats it.

^^^^This.

 

[Adam_S]

unlucky mate

 

[lizard899338]

I was taking it easy mate .... and then TWACK fence post through the car ... NOT FUN! As for getting a decent 172 Ph2 for under £3000 could someone point me in the right direction as all of the ones I'm finding are £3500 minimum

Will consider ANY COLOUR (except silver and black) and must be below 70k
