Unlucky Ed, accidents happen. Sure you'll be able to fix her up soon!

I managed to reverse my Hi-Jet into my Step-Mum's Audi TT, didn't look and didn't expect it to be parked there, oops! Such a horrible feeling.

I nudged my brothers Megane once, only very gently, while reversing up the hill outside my house. It was in the shadow of the house so I didn't notice it. It's the shock you get because you're not expecting it isn't it.

yeah, I felt so guilty! Just reversing at a fair pace in our driveway not expecting her car to be there and then I just hit something and stopped, turned around to look, fuck! haha

Definitely learnt my lesson too haha.

Ahhhh the first crash.....Remember it like it was yesterday !! My Mini at 60mph, wet road, spinning 180 into a hedge narrowly missing a telegraph pole by 3 inches.... Foolish
Glad you are ok dude, cars are just tin.....(that u spend hours and hours and hours on...)
If u get no joy with the bull bar, I can probably help you out with that, although mine is a bit bigger looking than your one and it's a bit bent too!!

Hehe, yeah. Yours sounds a fair bit worse than mine. A 180 vs. a failed barrel roll. I'd say you win.

Sounds cool. It'll have to wait a while though, 'cause of college. I've got exams coming up soon too. During my summer hols would be good.

I havent had a crash in my car yet (touch wood).


Ive been bloody close a few times, mostly due to my own errors. First ever crash i had was when i was 16, on a tractor and trailer moving soil from the local secondary school back home. I had a 12 tonne tipper trailer full, about 5 tonne of tractor and a few tonne of trailer.
The village high street has a sharp left hander at each end of it.

Coming down the high street, went round the bend and there was a car parked in the road right around the bend with a car coming the other way. I slammed on, trailer locked up and went straight into the back of a ford galaxy. They had a nice weigh frame hole in their boot, i had to get the green paint out when i got home :twisted:



Oh what a rig, and she does bark when its fully loaded too :tongue:

Hehe! It's like an exaggerated SJ. Slow, bumpy and with brake good enough to lock all four.

I tell you what, that surprised me the first time I properly stomped on my brakes, just after I passed, when a set of traffic lights changed. I ended up about 30 degrees different to the road.
