Im surprised you were not in the press everyone else who crashes like that tends to end up in there

As promised created new thread from this one driver education

This is the result of my accident at 90+ barrel roll.







did not put the 18s on the day before as it was raining, they now sit on my new scoob.(classic shape registered in december 2001).

bought another one because the police said not many cars can stand up to that sort of accident. ie the car saved my life.

 

 

managed to salvage the scoobysport downipipe, magnex centre and scoobysport backbox and blitz induction kit, before insurance took it away.

these now sit on new scoob. all i had to do was bend one of the hanging brackets on the back box to make it strait. bloody good build quality.

 

flesh wound

 

perfectly good steering wheel there

Glad to see you were ok.. I'll scan some pics of mine... but I didnt damage it.. I bought it damaged...

just suffered some scratches from hawthorne bush and glass

 

FMOB !!!

MD.

 

hope your dog wasn't in the back!!!

 

Perhaps a Metro 1.3 City X might have been a more suitable car as that wouldn't do 90...

 

Airbag didn't go off then ?

Is that right

 

Holly balloni!

I knew it was going to be bad after your description in the other thread!

Do I repost my pictures... hmmmmmm......

Why not :






I also bought another Scooby as I was told similar and also believe that the car saved my life.

My air bag went off due to the front impact.... as you didn;t hit the front I would guess this is why the air bag did not go off as it was not needed.

bl00dy hell!

you were very lucky indeed

thanks for posting the piccies though - give me confidence that my car is a sold one and could well save my life

Write off, are you sure? I'd say that it would polish out easily

I bet you didn't tell the police that it was at 90!

F

 

P20SPD mate where did you do that ???

 

did tell the police i was doing 90 as some **** told them i was doing 130. if i did not own up to what i was doing they were going to close road off and do full inspection.

dogmaul, did that on the straight between kexby and dunnington on the a1079 going towards york at 6.45 on a monday morning in february. land in trees near the end on the right.

 

no the dog was not in the car, but the dog guard acted as some sort of roll cage for the rear of the car. it was pretty well jammed in between roof and top of suspension struts though.

 

Came back to mine and thought that the front bumper had been nicked. As I got closer, I saw that it had been on fire. Written off completely.

New one is much better though!!

SLOW DOWN & LEARN TO DRIVE YOU TOSSERS!!!

I think you lot must be the reason I pay £1,800 a year on insurance...

 

Turboteeth,

Steven has said

"!!!Please think before you overtake!!! as i wouldnt want this to happen to anyone else out there"

so why warrent

"SLOW DOWN & LEARN TO DRIVE YOU TOSSERS!!!"

perhaps you should save that for people who do 70 in cars that shouldn't do 40 , people with bold tyres, drunk drivers etc,

Are you saying that you have never done 90 !

Do you think It is fair to blame this "lot" for the reason you are paying £1,800 a year on insurance otherwise I would by paying the same instead of £500. There must be lots of other factors !

Chill m8

Steve,

Good to here that you are ok and the course was useful. I took to an advanced driving assessment to get cheaper insurance and it is an eye opener, especially when you see people going a lot slower but who are a worse danger but they are just not aware, just like the lorry driver.

Dave.

 

demondave

cheers m8.

turboteeth,

i think if your paying 1800 to insure your scoob, then there are other factors involved. eg age, no claims discount, where you live etc etc etc. the list goes on. for christ sake dont just blame it on somebody else. me thinks you are hiding something re your premium.

 

i was certainly on the radio as it caused tailbacks to near barmby moore. aprrox 6 miles. amazing how many slow down just for a look though.

 

yeah it is some people really are odd, i havent done it since i was lucky enough to see some bloke on a ped in ibiza loose his head that was not a good night i can tell you

 

Just a quick reminder to myself of how lucky i am.

 

Yes and funny to read turboteeths comments then he does THIS

 

Brutal but true

 

turbo teeth u obviously drive like a **** to pay that much insurance anyway so how dare you lecture others. Im 21 and pay less than that on a modded scooby so u must have stacked it or have a lot of ink on your licence to pay that

 

 

lmao just saw what u did to your scooby turbo teeth, what a ****ing hypocrit. i think youll find you pay 1800 insurance because you rolled your car not because someone else crashed.
