Just thot i'd let yous all know.
I was driving to work, at 8:50 in the morning, there were two cars sitting in the middle of the road. 1st car accelerates to move away.... whilst the car behind (a woman needless to say) crosses the road WITHOUT checking for the oncoming traffic. As you will have guessed, i was the oncoming traffic at 55mph at about 20yards MAX away from her.  Slammed the brakes on and braced myself.
Basically resulting in me skelping my head off the steering wheel. I end up in hospital (just back today) with facial injuries. My face is like "desperate dan". Jaw broken in three places, damage to a few teeth, face really badly swollen. Anyhows, i'm still here though 
The woman was charged with careless/wreckless driving. The bitch wrote my car off!!!!  So, i've now to hit her with an insurance jobby. Oh, and if you are reading this vibrio, it happend just across from your work.
Really cant believe that i stepped away from it all with just a sore sore sore face. No broken legs or arms etc...
I promise you, i'll be back wiv the corsa

Well, al go into a bit more detail. When the car pulled out, a mere 20 yards in front of me, i knew i was hitting it. I cant remember smacking into it, but the tyres screeching is what sticks in my mind. My instinct was to turn the ignition off. Seatbelt off, and get out the car. So as i got out (had to kick at the door for it to open) i heard the women shouting n screaming "ahhhh" so me being me ran over to help. It was only then that i realised that blood was pishing out of me, jaw was in pieces, felt like i had very few teeth.
Anyway, i runs over to her car, and she has not a scratch to her name not amused.
Was warned in hospital that i would have very few teeth left. Turns out that i only lost two, and have two chipped or out of place. I've been told by the nurses, doctors, patients etc that i have to claim for evrything under the sun.... loss of earnings, facial damage, loss of teeth, car, clthing etc etc....
Going to see my car in the morning, getting my alloys off, thankfully, as there isnt a scrath to them (17" tornados). Also getn lexus rears, mirors, mp3 player etc.... Garage being quite good allowing me to do this although it is insured anyhows.
Just cant wait to get a hold of a corsa and really mod every single bit. As yous may know, my room contents are as follows : panique front bumper, euro2 rear, smooth boot, gsi spoiler, tc4 spoiler, powerfloe exhaust, smooth custom scuttl, single wiper etc etc etc... The list goes on.....
Just need to decide on a fancy colour to get it sprayed up.
Heres a pic of my VERY swollen face

Just at the entrance to auchencruive along from the bus stop vibrio. Was about 8:50 am or so. I'll take some pics of the car 2moro.
Another thing, the police said that through there workings, they think that i didnt have my seat belt on!!! Pure shite, if i hadnt, i would have been straight through the front windscreen guaranteed. Doctors at both hospitals i went to stated that i DID have it on. They also stated how well the corsa worked under the crash. The force of the crash smashed the front of the car to pieces, and travelled up behind the front doors and started to slightly "crumple" their, leaving the drivers compartment totally untouched.

well, when i was sitting at the roadside, and they turn up 2 a skinheed driving a modded car, first thing i thought was BANG, me to blame straight away. But, as i said, they've gotta do theyre job. The chief or whatever did however say that the traffic boys evaluation was that i didnt have it on, but they dont know for sure, cos they werent there, only i would know. So i'm basically cossing my fingers that they dont put it into their report that i didnt have, hence mucking up my claim!
