yeah looks like the xe will be coming out! reckon ill have it back on the road by the end of the week if nothin steering/suspension wise is broken. the most odd thing is apart from being very dirty the drivers side is UNMARKED bramble bushes obviously work well as a retaining mechanism for rogue cars!

Could have been a lot worse was prob going about 60 and missed lampost by mm

I have noticed that mine liked to snap back if it was disturbed by moderate bumps in the road. Still loves to be hooned around though. I loved mine for handling

you were doing 60 in the wet on a slip road when you knew the conditions were bad? shouldn't be going that fast to be honest if it was wet as you are supposed to slow down and drive with due caution.

unlucky anyway.

no the road seemed perfectly dry. I have been round that corner at 70 before with no problems.

Though it is completely my fault as I was on the public highway not a race track and as we all know it can be greasy and have diesel / oil spills, a good driver leaves himself enough to cater for such eventuality on this occasion I was a very poor driver.

I lost it in my corsa C the other day, came round a left hand blind bend which suddenly tightens it is downhill and lots of camber in the road , (wasnt going fast but it was a bit damp) and had to quickly steer in tighter. ended up facing the other way round.


I blame the tyres

Eh?

Black is the worst color to paint for repairs.

The darker the color, the easier you can see the filler/repair.

Unlucky anyway mate!!
