wrote her off last night :cry:
coming upto a sharp right hand bend in the wet so i slowed down, into 2nd. but as it was doin about 20 mph i had my foot over the acc, didn't floor it... just a slight touch on the acc. back end went out, so i steared into it and that snapped back and it went through some railings :(
as the poilce said at the scene, "that corner has a load of shit of the road, fuel from the buses ect as it's a bus route".
so gutted.
if i was driving like a fool then i was asking for it to happen. but shit happens i supose.
so any1 selling a 1.0, 1.2 plz let me know :)
also ive heard if u have a crash within a year of taking your driving test, then you have to re-sit it??
Alpine.

Sorry to hear that. Hope it all gets sorted and you can sort something out with the car like fixing it or salvaging the best parts.

Thats rubbish mate, dont know where you heard that, if you get 6 points or more on your license in the first 2 years you have to resit your test, but not if you crash.....

dan_mk1
04-08-04, 11:44 PM
Your supposed to make an offer to me! not the other way round! lol
argh, that corner is tight as!
its to say a 90 degree bend. has the bus slip road going to the right. a road going straight on upwards after the bend, and a turn to the left.
you were never doing 20 mph. if you were doing that in the ice you would just make it. you were ragging it.
i have soft compound tyres and i can take that corner at 30 easy.
20mph :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
do you know chester well?

outside the odeon on northgate street?

your wrong lol, i had slowed down that much coming to the corner. so i used the acc and that thru the back end out.
remember it is surface water as it is summer. and i must admit my tyres aren't that good... :|

That corner is a bitch! Doin laps of chester were you.
Unlucky anyway mate, if i were you i wudnt claim! get a new nova same colour and just swap everything over.
