Me and my mate were driving behing this M reg Corsa. Then suddenly the front just dropped and the drivers side front wheel folded underneath the car! The suspension had basically snapped in half sending this poor girl up the kerb - totally out of control! It was crazy!
This car was only on the origingal 14" steels as well! Please don't tell me this is a normal thing to happen to Corsas!

Nope she was quite fit!

Sounds like the whole strut must have parted company with the suspension turret or something, for something like that to happen!

Once saw a corsa parked up at the side of a 60mph road single carridgeway, with no drivers side rear wheel. Could have been nasty on a bend too.

Also seen a 206's rear exhaust drop before my eyes. Funny as fcuk
