I was driving with 2 other passengers. We all got out and walked away.

I was the best off with just 2 cuts on my face and a sore ankle.

The other two have stable fractures.

I dont want any comments about my Driving or speed or anything like that. I have been in hospital for days and thought of nothing else but "I Wish". So dont bother.

I just want to show what can happen and to think about your driving. You might not be as lucky!

[Anton]

fook me. you were lucky mate. very lucky.

how did the crash actually happen?

[locky]

That nova looks like a mangled up golf!!!!!

Nice 2 hear ur ok tho m8!

[Neil.]

the hell did u get out, i cant see where the doors were, what happened, i mean to make it that mangeld?

[Nova-Boy]

Lost it going round an 'S' bend. I was going to taqke the racing line so to speak but didn't cos there was a car in the outside lane. I jerked back into my lane mid corner and lost it. Went through/over a wall allong a ditch and into a tree.

We are very lucky i know!

[Neil.]

did having bucket seats help with the low count of injuries?
hopefully it'll show ppl what happens taking a risk now and hten can do.

nice to hear ur ok.

this is where it happened. You can see the skid marks leaving the road. This is after i had lost it sideways and managed to get it alsomst straight.

That is after the first apex of the 'S'. It is a Big bend as you can see its not a very tight 'S' bend and was on a Dual carridge way.

[Neil.]

is there meant to be 2 pictures? i can only see one.

[Mark]

Have you bought a lottery ticket yet!
You are lucky!

[Wiggie]

WOW! hefty damages! i cant beleive you walked away from that! good to here your ok! ......are your alloys ok...selling them? :lol: joke.

fair play to get out with sweet FA injuries.


but that seems to be a rule. if the car is fooked beond all belife people tend to walk away (the impact has been absorbed) but cars that stay relatively intact injure people (hasnt absorbed the shock).


looks like its been picked up and dropped by the claw a few times.

a couple of my m8s were involved in a bad smash in a gti 16v like that 1 in a similar sort of situation. the car was a complete write off, completely bent but they walked away from it without a scratch. must be something about them golfs

[SaraGSi]

Glad ur/every1 is ok...............cant believe u all walked away :o

[dave.gsi]

nasty stuff

[darren]

Very Lucky Mate, Glad to see you/Passengers are Ok and in one peice

I recognise that road..... Near Keswick?!?!

[Nova-Boy]

The lad who is in the back is still in Hospital. He broke his leg and his hip. He went into the back of the passenger seat and the lass in the front has fractured her back but is ok. she is out of hospital with just a collar.

I have just tacken my stitches out myself cos the nurse (my MUM!!) was p*ssing about with the stitch puller thing! I just got the sissors out and a pair of tweesers! LOL

I had 10 stitches in my nose and eyebrow/head. Two different cuts. My neck, back and shoulders are sore but I did hit the tree head on at my side of the car so I am lucky that i am only sore!!

I think the buckets Did help some. And you can see from the pics that the car absorbed the impact as the back of the car has crumpled up and twisted.

Thanks for not hammering me for my driving. I am glad we are all alive cos if anyone had got seriously hurt I would have been gutted (even more so than what i am now!) I head has had a bit of a battering but i think everything is going to be Ok.

[dave.gsi]

i hope you've learnt a valuable lesson.

how bad would you have felt if your two passengers had died because you wanted to take the racing line.

[Nova-Boy]

Exactly! I was only upset about the passengers and my Mum. I knew I was ok.

I am just making a point so that other people can learn from my mistake and not their own in the future.

[jkhilton]

When I saw those pictures I thought it was going to be another unnecessary death, you're blood lucky(I know you dont need to be told that!!!!)
Glad everyone is ok though.

[Dare-devil]

:o WOW..
That's a seriously trashed Golf..

[wisewood]

Glad you are ok mate - as has already been said (by almost everyone) you are lucky to get out with only a battered ego.

Do me a favour - email me the pics - and any others yuo have to me@wisew.com

and that goes for anyone else who has any pics etc or stories about accidents n stuff - i am starting a little "project" to show the downside to driving around faster than is really safe.

Ready for when 3fast 3furious generates the next batch of new members who think street racing is fantastic when they have only been driving a few weeks.

[burgo]

fcuk a duck how u walk away from that and at least it wernt another nova trashed

[Barn]

No more fast stuff in my SR for me, (driving 3 weeks)

Can't believe u walked away from that mate

[linzTDI]

my dads mate rolled his SCooby at the weekend on the A69 5 times and it looked a bit like that had 3 people in it and they all escaped with cuts and bruses driver had 2 broken fingers!!! Very lucky to be alive!!!

[BigRuss]

Very Very lucky Mate!!

It's only a shame that it takes something like this to make people realise how easy it is to get seriously hurt or killed.

My self and friends of mine have all had big ones in the past, some of us were lucky some of us were not!!

My advice is take it off road Guy's and girls, go and join your local motor club and get involved in sprint's, autotests, rally's etc. It is not as expensive as You think it might be.
