Saulamandetra Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 Hey all missed ya all :P Well the van had a very strange accident where the rear axle came off on the left side he shock and leaf spring took most of the underside of the van out on the way and with the lack of control I ended up hitting at tree only was doing about 35 thankfully :) Saul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford_Man Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I was thinking the other day funny enough that you haven't been about for a while, glad your okay! Shame about the van! Was anyone else involved in the accident? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saulamandetra Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 Thanks guys, Nope was 4am on my way to work up the country lanes (was going uphill a lot that's why only 35mph the van wouldnt go any faster haha) just me and a tree were bit battered up but all good again :) Except my knee clicks a lot now hahahah Saul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmurray01 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Sounds like you had a lucky escape there! It just goes to show that depending on your beliefs there definitely is "something" out there, be it God or just luck, as the axle could have easily gone whilst you were traveling at 60MPH on a busy road with on-coming traffic. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saulamandetra Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 Had to do some work on the car, changed the powersteering pump and had to do some impressive bodging ;) Then fitted body coloured bumpers ready to spray the car :D Saul 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmurray01 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Good luck spraying the car! Will you be doing it yourself or getting a professional to do it? Looking at my finances I'll most certainly be buying a Ka or 3-dr Fiesta when I pass my test, they are the only vehicles with low enough insurance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found 5 door fiestas to have cheaper insurance.. as they're easier to exit in an accident & they're less likely to be driven by chavs in the insurance companies eyes :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insurance has got to the point now that they'll charge us thousands of pounds, knowing that if we have an accident we'll try our best not to go through the insurance otherwise they'll take even more money off us in the future. it's wrong Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
