the good news is youve walked away to tell the tail, so look at it in that way =]
any ideas what cars next?

Ah that sucks mate! Sorry to hear that.

sorry to hear that.

dont mean this in a rude way, sure you got other things to sort first, but if you are going to break it i would be interested in some parts.

i dont know wot im going to do with it yet was thinking about putting it on ebay with a reserve as the engine is still running great jus the roof and door battered so hopefully someone out there will give me a good enough offer and strip it all out
either that or im gonna strip it out myself and post the stuff on the for sale section

Really sorry to hear about the car but it's only a bit of metal which can be replaced.

Lucky you only got away with minor injuries by the sounds of it.

onto bigger and better

Ouch! Sorry to see/ read about that. What's next ?

thats kinda wat i was worried about which is why i didnt wanna drive my car in this weather for this very reason.

Did the airbags go off?

Btw mate if its still there would it be ok to buy the dash and bits off it? I could pop down in the week and take the bits off myself?

Would be nice to see the car go to some use and get some money out of it, also would be convienent for me because I could pop down over a couple of days without rushing to get it out lol!

Reply back,

P.S Congratz on the news, at least you've got something nice on the way!

Sorry to heat that mate. I was waiting for the snow to have its first victim.

Congrats on the news though.

Does the insurance know its lowered?

insurance dont know its been lowered but dont know ive had a smash either

luckily no one else was involved and some of my mates with tricked up 4x4's towed me out before any police arrived so im safe

soo jus gonna keep the policy goin but change the car on it tht way get ma no claims bonus

good thinking batman

Was it third party then mate? Bad thing with me is that its not justifable to go on fully comp for me as if I crashed and didn't hit anyone, a claim against my name would be more costly than stripping mine down and buying another! Lol.
