End of the road
« on: 08 November 2005, 08:50 »
Well, after a full blown row with the misses not to take my motor out on Sunday night cuz its too wet, i can safely say she was right!!!  :cry:
The once and only time i put my foot down that day resulted in me doing a rolling burn-out in 2nd and a coffin dodger in a pug 106 pulling out infront of me.... DOH!!!
It was either him or the pavement, i wish now i'd gone for him but at the time i didnt think  :evil:
Anyway, the damage isnt that bad but it means no car for a bit, ive buckled drivers side wheel and punchered tyre (wheels are 1 week old) bent the strut, smashed front bumper, spoiler, plastic wheel trim, side skirt, and i may have bent sumthing else cuz bonnet dont sit right on that corner now, oh and dash cracked  :shocked:
I suppose its my own fault so i will sort it.
Gutted.  :cry:  :cry:  :cry:

I would take it to a jigger if i were you. If the bonnet dont sit right then you may have done more damage than you expected.

Bugger!!! WISH ID READ THIS THREAD EARLIER!!!
I just been to VW whitehouse breakers in Brislington mate, bought new (second-hand) lower arm, strut, trackrod, driveshaft, etc. i cant see any strain marks on underside of car so dont think it will need jigging, im taking photos so i really need to start up a gallery at some point?
She will be rollng again by end of week, ....i hope. :undecided:

not good news mate, but id still get it chacked out, for the bonnet not to sit right and the dash to crack something has to have moved
