Was driving into pub car park to meet mates and bang smack drove straight over a very hidden kerb.
Went with a right bang hoping its nothing too serious.
Makes me feel a little bit better that 2 other of my mates have done it
but one of which was a nova and he's ripped off exhaust from manifold and bent his wheels popped 2 tyres :cry:
What kind of parts could I have damaged?

it realy depends on the way you hit the kerb. did you drive straight into it and hit with two wheels or did you only hit it with one.
you could have buckled 1/2 wheels
bent the mounting point of the TCA or the TCA its self.
the list goes on mate realy there are so many possibles.
just get the car up and hav a nose around. a buckeld wheel will be easy noticed.

Comp Mo's will bounce off anything fella, Dont even worry about the wheels there Designed for rallying, so a slight bump with a kerb won't of even tickled them.
your MO's will be damaged beyond repair... worth nothing...
give them to me and i will dispose of them for you... :wink:
I remember being in Ste's car once and he was driving along a carpark towards a right hand bend, there was a kerb straight ahead. I "presumed" he knew it was there but then when we were 2 metres away and I realised he hadn't seen I shouted and grabbed hold of the dash lol
Luckily it wasn't a kerb, it was a rampy thing with a kerb on the other side, takeee offfffffff timeeeeee!
Some Chavs witnessed the jump and were gob smacked lol
sounds like the chavs were on the inside of the car Kev :P
worst one ive had was at traffic lights with the clutch down lights went green went to take me foot off the clutch but it stayed down and was stuck down for an hour
had to push the car away from the lights felt a right **** :lol:

When i just got my first car, it took me 2 months to save up for a car, so i was 'out of practice' at driving again.....
Anyway, i was pulling out of a junction and turning left (sweeeeping left turn) when a group of girls (yummy) walking past waved at me from the left. So i had my left lock on and was also staring to my left and waving back at them......when i looked forwards again, to see that i had mounted the curb and was about to hit a tree! lmao Had to do some 'extreme manouvering' to avoid it and get back on the road.
God damn breasticles. They ARE the 'devil lumps'.
Bet they were well impressed. Everyone knows how much chicks dig Novas.
