Rick Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 downhill, wet roads, split second glance at my dashboard.... and theres the back of a car managed to save the front end but took a tough bump to the door pillar, thus fooking a door and a wing and the bottom of the pillar has gone in half inch and creased the cill and shocked various bits of filler into nice cracks Ricks got his work cut out for a few months i think wish id stayed in now
PAUL MANN Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 bloodyhell rick,when you txt me i thought noooooo,back on the road next week then,if you need anything collected over my way let me know
Trevmk3 Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 sorry to here that Rick, could of been worse though mate
Rick Posted January 11, 2009 Author Report Posted January 11, 2009 no point in sulking over it just gotta get stuck in again, hopefully get it back nice before show season. The worst bit was hearing all the 'i told you so's' when i got it back home could have been much worse if i hadnt steered the front end out the way
72mk1escort Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 Bloddy hell mate Like the others said it could have been worse, are you okay though?
over_head_cam Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 That's a bummer mate. But I'm glad you're OK and I like your attitude "get stuck in"
BIGKEV Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 T cut mate - wont stop a man of your caliber
caprinerd Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 tough break rick but your in one piece cars can be replaced and repaired but your life cant good to see your straight in there and on the case respect to you mate
Rick Posted January 11, 2009 Author Report Posted January 11, 2009 dont mind the bodywork but that post bent in is bothering me. its a potential weak spot if straightened but i dont wana be replacing the post and cill again a good time to fit a cage maybe
D4N Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 Ouch Just shows how easy it is to crash your car Good to see you looking into getting it fixed stright away
marky4 Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 that's bad luck rick but at least your alright mate
MightySprocket Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 damn shame mate but as said no REAL harm done
Stu_B Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 Oh dear! I'm sure you'll have it all sorted soon enough
Mrs O/H/C Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 SH*T, not good, but you seem to have a positive attitude .. so good luck in repairing the car and look forward to show season and seeing it looking as good as it did before.
Admin Vista Posted January 12, 2009 Admin Report Posted January 12, 2009 Unlucky Rick. Does your insurance not cover the repair? With values being what they are I can't see them writing it off for that.
antz Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 thats a bummer. glad your ok and it can be fixed
danny69 Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 You did well to get it turned, usually when you jump on the brakes in a panic in an OSF they lock up and you can`t steer. Atleast you can repair it yourself.
Rick Posted January 12, 2009 Author Report Posted January 12, 2009 Unlucky Rick. Does your insurance not cover the repair? With values being what they are I can't see them writing it off for that. yes mate but i dont trust anyone else to do the work. Me n my dad know this car weld for weld and i know we can get it right again.
Deano1351 Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 As danny69 said, well done for steering out of it, a lot of people would of froze and skidded straight on, a few months ago some corsa boys near me came tanking it towards a roundabout and couldnt stop, the skid marks i swear were a 100ft long straight into the arrows sign on the roundabout, bonnet, front panel all crushed in, a little lift off the brakes and a bit of steering would have put them on to the nice soft grass, oh how i smirked when i went past, numptys. All the best getting yours fixed rick, as you said you know the car inside out so im sure you'll have it done in no time, old fords never die, they just get better
