Your crashed car again ?

Can't say anything:

Saturday: tight right hand corner, downhill, just before our street....

Raining in the ice and I arrived at approx 75mph (as usual).

This time, I was with my mind somewhere else though (troubles :roll:

) and I forgot to swing the car sideways on the crest before the corner...

Bad slip... hit a snowwall and a street lighting post...

Left wing and underside front bumper damaged

Could have been much worse considering how fast I was going.

But how stupid that I completely forgot there was a f*cking right hand corner after that crest :brick:

Missed the headlights by 1cm

All rest looks OK. Had lots of snow in every bloody 'orifice', but it looks all fine.

New wing and hopefuly they can replace just the underside of the bumper and we're set

Prob redoing some geometry.

did you do it deliberately so you could get a 9 bumper? :wink:

I'm still confused as to how spike has so much damage seeing as he hardly touched that post, makes me think these cars aren't very strong on the front end? Not sure an impreza would be better or worse?

feel free to discuss... :lol:

Still awaiting
