I was looking through an old camera for some pics of my nova when it was on the road to start my build thread which i didnt find. :( But what i did find was some pics of my focus i had 6 year ago. This was the result of spinning the car ,hitting a wall then a lamp post side on.
now lets see your write offs!

I was pulling a mk2 jetta from surrey(near a womans prison in the middle of nowere) to merseyside when on the m40 the jetta decided to have a blow out and wrote both of us off luckily no one was involved appart from me. It was a expensive day, the vectra had just had a brand new clutch fittted that cost £200, half a tank of fuel, the jetta had cost £350 and i got 3 points for insecure load aswell as the cost of £85 train home and i couldnt carry my sub box oh and i owed my mate a new A-frame £150 so now i only use trailers

how the feck did you survive that
Both pie and TJ, looking at the seats in the fronts of your crashes, id be willing to bet that the rear passengers werent wearing seat belts, the bending and twisting of them was caused by the passengers flying forwards!
I will never ever let anyone in my car(s) not wear seatbelts, for this very reason, they might not give a crap about their own lives/safety, i do give a crap about mine!
Off to dig out the shots of my old SR, if i can find them!
*Edit*
Found them, wanted this nova for about four years and missed it everytime it came up for sale and bought my first nova insted (thankfully no pics of that :eek:) finally bought it as spares for mine, then found it was really solid and just needed an mot, £100 for the car and £150 for a few bits, mot and tax.......
http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a36/spudly01/Cars/OJINo13resized.jpg
Had it for three months (almost) and as i was crossing a junction heading into town, a corsa shot past in front of me raacing a punto, as the punto turned into the road i was passing, the driver was eyeing up three lassed stood outside the takeaway/taxi rank on the corner, he wasnt looking at the road he was turning into, and didnt see me driving along at 30mph minding my own business, passenger said he was doing over 50mph as he hit me and didnt brake....
Hit me directly on the drivers door/pillar, spun me almost 180 degrees, and into the barrier behind which the three girls were standing, it was only the tree that kept me from landing on them luckily :eek:
In this pic, i was actually travelling in the direction the ambulance is facing!

spud your right, my brother siting behind me wasn't wearing one but the other 2 were
i now dont drive anywhere unless everyone is wearing a belt, lesson learned lol
yes spud
i was front passenger also didnt have belt on
( if i did docs reckon my back would of gone due to the people hitting the seats) :(
was lucky to keep my leg tbh they were 95% going to cut from knee down :(
Jeez, those red nova crashes look horrific
If I'd been in either I would think I'd be very very fortunate to be alive
Thankfully I've never had a serious accident, God knows how as I used to race round in my Nova's like I stole them
It beggars beleif when people still insist on not wearing belts, no'one in any of my cars doesnt wear them, if their not wearing the belt, we're not driving anywhere, btw edited my first reply, pic of my old SR are up!

Agreed! The roof on the second one :|
Luckily I have never bent a car yet. Although I have had some serious close calls.
I have avoided three write-offs by being lucky enough to get out of the car 20 mins prior on two occasions (rollover and armco/lamppost/trees and head-on into a gritter/bounced into stone wall)
Actually, the armco/lamppost/tree incident was avoided by me deciding to stay in and rebuild an engine, instead of going 'cruising'.
My mates leg looked a bit like Pies, but with more bracing - it was amputated.

Reminds me of someone I used to know who put an E30 318 in a hedge, I asked if it was a drifting incident and he said "Well, I was drifting... and then suddenly I wasn't, and I'm pretty sure it happened when I wasn't" lol

Haha don't worry the first one was about 8 years ago, don't have balls of steel like I did when I was 17! Have successfully owned 4 novas since the crashes. I think if I were to have an accident in the current one I wouldn't be around to post the pics.
Thats pretty true, i reckon mine wont even be half as fast as yours, but if i were to lose it whilst pedalling with gusto, shall we say, they they would definately be cutting whatever was left of me out :eek:

i hope you saved some bits? or did it get saved?
The shell was dead, front chassis legs folded up both wheels got pushed into the splashguards annd the roof had kinks in it! When I scrapped it it was literally a bare shell, I kept the 1600 and put that in my next nova as well as all the interior.
I was trying to find some better pics but I think I've lost them, they may be on my fb but I cba to look!

Found the pics of the only crash i've had. Woman pulled out in front of me, i just stopped in time.... The clio behind me didn't stop at all. Hit me at 60 (he was trying to race me)
Bend the shell, was kinked on the sills and by the rear beam mount, cracked the front turret from the chassis leg. Happened the day i got it running with a XE in.
