wrote my car off, gutted

[TooneySonic]

hi guys, ain't posted on here for a while! hope all are well.

well, i've gone and written off my baby - immaculate 172 ph2, i'm devastated.

main thing is i'm unhurt, very lucky. driving home from work last week in the pissing rain i rounded a corner and hit mud and debris in the road, the back end went, tried to catch the slide but i just arched onto the grass verge, the car dug in and it rolled one and a half times. not a pleasent experience, got out through the passenger door with not a scratch on me. stronger than you think these cars.

i'll post up some pics when i can


search starts for another now, if anyone knows of a pre 2001 (tax avoidance) iceberg silver ph2 let me know!

cheers, craig

[Englebert]

Unlucky. Any reason for the mud being there, left by a farmer's tractor.. bad highway maintenance etc.?

 

[Dan 172]

Gutting, but as you said at least your alright.

I've noticed loads of mud on the roads recently from farmers. Really need to watch out for it on the bike.

[-Leigh-]

Probably a farmer!! c***s!!! They do it around here, haven't got the intelligence to clean it up, even if it's on a bend.

Good you're ok though.

 

[TooneySonic]

thanks for the words of encouragement guys, especially philmots, i knew i could count on you! i'm going to ring you now and give you some stick!

don't know about the debris, there were pebbles and gravel in it which made it slippery, police were there to asses everything as a passer by called the cavelery. i'm not being charged with anything.

what really impresed me about the two traffic officers is that they came to my work the next day to see how i was doing which was good of them

 

[Reyes]

I feel for you man, gutting

 

[DebV6]
