joe1600 Posted November 6, 2010 Report Posted November 6, 2010 Well to say I’m gutted is a understatement, my pride n joy has become the victim of another British idiot driver, I was coming home from work late Wednesday, came round a steady right hand bend, were there was a car coming toward me on there side of the road, next thing the car coming toward me has cut across to my side of the road n is coming straight toward me, I swerved, locked all 4 wheels slid up a banking and hit a small tree In the second it took me to get out of the car the other car had shot off, so no insurance details . I think he/she was swinging across the road to park outside the houses that are only on that side of the road n miss judged how close we were to each other. Here’s what she looks like
Mrs O/H/C Posted November 6, 2010 Report Posted November 6, 2010 How gutting for you, the main thing is that you are ok

lotusless Posted November 6, 2010 Report Posted November 6, 2010 but at least your ok + the damage dont look too bad
joe1600 Posted November 6, 2010 Author Report Posted November 6, 2010 Thanks guy n gals, there is always a silver lining I suppose, do any of you think that the front panel and wing could be repaired or are new items required ?
banarama Posted November 6, 2010 Report Posted November 6, 2010 fookers id have to find them/lovely car mate
tazrocks88 Posted November 6, 2010 Report Posted November 6, 2010 man that sux i would say as long as there is no hidden damage that the front panel should straighten but looks like it would take a fair bit of work 2 sort the wing so might need a very good body shop or a new 1 hope u get it sorted with not 2 much hassel mate
marky4 Posted November 6, 2010 Report Posted November 6, 2010 thats sh#t mate but at least your alright
Kieran Posted November 6, 2010 Report Posted November 6, 2010 It could be alot worse though, and atleast your ok

Grizzley Dell Posted November 6, 2010 Report Posted November 6, 2010 gutted for you mate, maybe keep an eye out for the motor on your way home in future, if you would recognise it. makes your blood boil

over_head_cam Posted November 6, 2010 Report Posted November 6, 2010 M8, that's not good. it's quite sad to see an OSF all bashed in like that Just looking at the pics, like others have said, that should repair OK as long as there is no hidden horrors. Glad you're OK m8
