    You're forgiven, seeing you have a Focus! :lol:

    Looks like this Corsa didn't fair too well after a fight with an Octavia!

    Went past a smashed up 3 series today. Looked like it had tried to go too fast round a roundabout (what a surprise), under steered and hit a sign.

    Wow! Thanks for sharing, how did he manage that?

  • Quote

    From what we managed to work out lost it in the wet panicked put the NSF into a lamp post that was knocked down and the car had ended up on its OS he had to climb out of the passenger side window. i was not able to catch the recovery just drag it back to its wheels (shame would have made good vid with sound, lots of crunching and things being thrown around inside). One of the best bits was his new phone that he had just picked up had ended up on the road under the car smashed. this seemed to upset him more than the car.
