I never realised you had that done so much to your mk1.Will be grabbing a coffee tonight and having a read of your build thread.
Great work

Thanks, yeah it beats reading through god knows how much chat in dub rides, 120 pages or so on top of the actual build stuff. 

Yeah, that's why everyone likes Shaun! He's proper dedicated, i'm hoping he can get someone to repaint it at a cheap price, he deserves some luck, always failing!! 

Aww thanks..... i'm sure there some people on here that hate me!... If not, I need to try harder    Always failing?

*Cough TRAVIS

I've hinted at him since he joined!    I have family down his way so could stay while he did it!    I know he's a busy man though, but if we all club together and push him!

my first accident was going into the back of a driving instructor 

he had stopped round a blind corner on a country lane to let a tractor out and i kinda aquaplaned dwon the hill and smacked right into the back of him! luckily it was just him wasnt teaching anyone at the time

 

Could have been worse,

my old man wasnt too impressed 

  Why, did you do it in his car!?

Aged 18, in a mate's Micra. Four of us were heading to the beach. It had rained heavily the previous night and the ususal road to the beach was flooded. Went down a different road and aquaplaned straight into a wall  Luckily nobody was badly hurt as my mate was driving sensibly, one guy chipped a tooth and we were all a bit bruised. I had a hot chocolate in my hand and when we crashed it all splashed against the windscreen. My friend was properly frightened by it and said 'oh god I thought it was your brains after bursting out'

I had quite a few bumps and scrapes when I moved to surrey from cornwall, so used to country roads with no one else on them 

First write off though (yes there have been a few of those as well) was coming back from my girlfriends at about 1am around xmas time must be about 6-7 years ago now, round a corner at about 50 in a 30 zone, hit some black ice and went sideways, then all of a sudden caught some grip and went zooming off into and up the kerb, through a fence, and into a lamp post. Brand new 04 Corsa written off and 5k of damage to the fence and lamp post 

Also no seatbelt so flew forwards ripping all the stalks off in the process, chinned the steering wheel, and smashed the windscreen with my head. Amazingly I wasnt hurt in the slightest other than my chin was aching a bit, so got out and phoned the police

Looking back I was very lucky, and calmed down with my driving a lot. Managed to write off 2 other cars since then but they both wern't my fault! No crashes now for 5 years woohoo!

First accident was my fault, drove into the back of some girl at 5mph and bent her bumper (mk2 Fezza).
2 years later she sued me for 5k, god bless the no win no fee cockroaches!
Apparently she could not ride her horses anymore or take part in her ballet classes, best bit was she claimed for her dad to weed her garden.........
She lived down the road from me at the time so did not know I saw her going running with her bad back, what goes around comes around.

Next five write offs were not my fault, and 6 car pile up was deemed as knock for knock even though I was caught in the middle.......

Still i have 9 years ncb at the moment, fingers crossed
