You can see off that why one side is more smashed than the other, the side thats smashed hit the more solid bit and the other bit kinda went underneath!

I hit it at 11ish on the night, the next day it was back in place!

Quite a common thing!

The car stopped very sudden like!

Arh ok. makes sense now... wow your lucky the car didnt end up wedged underneath it, being that shape it could have trapped you underneath it... :blink:

nah i hit it too hard mate, the gate was out of the ground 21 metres away with concrete still attached.

Ill get a pic of the area tomorrow,you will see why i was lucky anyway as there is a big trench approx 10 yards to the left and also a big forest behind the gate!

Christ, imagine if that had been high enough to miss the bonnet altogether....maybe best not to think about that one.

Love the black alloys mate looking great. looking at those smashed pictures makes me feel upset. was you racing a pathetic kid in a shopping trolley with a big exhaust?

was alone on the road

Makes it all more sobering the thought it was unprovoked....

Dont worry mate, she will be back together soon, and back to normal and you learnt a lesson from it now, before you get something more expensive... ;)

Lucky lad, and always a shame to see a nice car in a messed up way..

Dunno how they've costed that at £6k like.... mine was 10 times as bad as that (bumper disintegrated, bonnet, wing, 2 wheels, tyres, radiator etc..) and that bill 'only' came to £3500.

when you smashed into the gates did the car stall? where you able to drive the car home? or did a recovery come?
