Was off to B&Q saturday night to get some lining paper... blah blah

anyway, went round a sharpish left hander joining the motorway to find myself floating on a sea of diesel. car slid accross the sliproad bounced of the curb, spun 180 degrees, over another kerb onto the verge, through some bushes destroying a few smallish trees then came to rest.

And not one fucking person stopped to help or see if i was ok

Anyway a few pics... got off light considering

What looks wrong here?



What was a breezeblock doing on the verge:



I liked these rims






Si the pirate's doing a parts run today so hopefully all back together tonight... busses suck

i'd be more annoyed about the wheel... you can pick up rear beams for feck all in the scrappy.... or is it just the stub itself thats bent?

just the stub, if you look at it its quite clear that its totally knackered. the wheels are a sad point.. i thouigh they were ace, the rear one is totally gone, starting to crack where the spoke meets the rim , scary considering i drove out of the bush and home with it like that

I bent mine up by driving it just after my rear wheel bearings had cooked up

Bad luck there tho!
