About 2 month ago. I said the bmw was gunna be the 1st car i crash and i was right. Just a shame it wasnt justified (i was driving normally and not trying to slide it :grin:)



Gutting isn't it?

I wasn't doing 100mph or lifting off round roundabouts, I had just slowly pulled away doing 8MPH in traffic.  :rolleyes: :grin:

Where all my moneys went.

Balljoint separated on my Classic Mini. It was a bit messy as it threw me into a hedgerow. Still, got it repaired on the insurance and then restored the rest of it  :cool:



Keeping schtum. Mostly.

Yep, may have only been doing 15-20mph but theres abit of weight pushing it into a barrier. Lesson learnt = check rear tyres for tread  :rolleyes:

1st ? drove a scorpion light tank into a 12ft ditch  :grin:  driving at night with no lights, doing about 35 along a farm track, commander says BRAKE RIGHT TURN 50YDS, i brake, left track locks up and we skid and tank gracefully dives into ditch on left side almost on its turret, my lid splits open on co-ax gimpy barrel, commander saves himself by ducking into turret and we come to a halt with smoke pouring from everywhere, we both scramble out of tank expecting it to go up any minute [ sparks and petrol = not good ] and run away  :grin:  :grin:

I wrote off my Seat Ibiza before i'd even passed my test...
Thought i'd just broken the bumper, turned out i'd broken an engine mount, the subframe, a spring and a bush. Still managed to drive it home, it's now just sitting in my garden waiting to be fixed, been there for about 7 months... and then moving it one of the driveshafts popped out.  :sad:
