Narrow escape
« on: 25 July 2006, 22:46 »
Hey all,

Bit of bad news i'm afraid, this morning I had a nasty car crash :( Luckily both myself and the other driver envolved are ok. I'm suffering with a bit of a burnt hand/arm, buggered knuckles (typing this one handed ... please no jokes!) and a bruised chest. The other driver has some minor neck injuries but is otherwise fine. I won't go as far as to detail the incident but another car crossed my path and didn't look for on-coming traffic (me). The impact was hard as you will see below.

Pictures
My car (Was a golf gti turbo)




Other drivers car, has only 3 wheels now (Was a Fiat Punto)


So ... pls drive careful ppl and look for on coming traffic!

hate to see a golf looking like that, makes us all think about our own vulnerability!! looks like that italian sh!te gave the VW a good spanking from the pictures, mind u, i'd rather have the bonnet crumple up and save me, than stay rigid and break my spine!!

glad u ok mate.
