How'd you manage that? Looks like a straight road.
Aslong as everyone is OK is all that matters.

the corner behind me wasnt straight, the back end stepped out because the bend has such a stupid camber, turned in a bit to quick, over corrected it one way, then the other then 180ed into a tree. took the local toffee nose school fence with me though! yeah i came out without a scratch. they guy in the house opporsite where i crashed said im one of many who has done it

ill go back and take a picture of the road from the other direction so u can see the bend. down to my own driver error i suppose but at least it was only the car that got damaged. im so so gutted though

Looks like you should be able to salvage most of the bits for another car though

won't be the last to say that.. modified car + young driver + crash = the assumption you were without a doubt speeding/driving like a retard/tooting at fit girls you passed.
i don't think this, but many will..when i crashed people said i was speeding. i never knew 20mph in a 30mph zone was speeding
most of the parts (modded parts) look salvageable so should make some money back either splitting it or putting onto another corsa. hope your ok though!

He didnt say speeding...he said going to fast. Theres a differnce
20mph in a 30 can be to fast for an off camber corner where everybody crashes

wasnt breaking the speed limit but was going too quick for the road conditions. hands down i will admit that, its a nasty bend. car will now be getting broken shortly so keep your eyes peeled in classifieds. just the door, bumper, headlight and wing damaged, eveything else is ok
