...driving home from a mates house along quite a greasy road and lost control. Ended up hitting a curb pretty hard and going up a grass bank, narrowly missing a few lamp-posts.

So far from last night it looks like snapped steering rack, bent wish bone, bent strut and one alloy completely destroyed

Ended up joining the RAC at the roadside to get recovered to my mates house at a cost of £107 Now need to find a way to get it home

bit of a black spot tbh, plenty chunks missing out of the curb from previous accidents in the same place

...as i said, the road was greasy and the car just slid away from me
