so this weekend will be spent buying a new car.
 
Ouch!

Not good...
well i know in the mini scene when things like this happens the cut the car in half and turn the backend in a trailer or the front end into a couch...

GENIOUS new leon mod in the making???
 
That must have been some kerb :(

You mention new passenger seat because of the air bag... didn't the other airbags fire then?

Cupra R next then? (Accentuating the positive here!)
 
no only passenger side air bag went off.. and cant get a cupra.. as insurance is about 2K as it is.

2 write offs in 10 months.. they love me!

odly not. roundabout, done it 100's times, as i was turning i had to break back end just went, car just slid, did my best to keep it. i was doing about 40,

thing is.. about 10 mins before it happened on another roundabout a similar thing happened, car went sideways, and again.. not speeding, wasnt messing about, and because the car was still on standard suspension there is a lot of body roll and when the ballance of the car shifted and it didnt feel good.

i had taken my car to seat 3 times in one week saying to them it didnt feel right, then had to work 2 weeks normal hours so coundt get the car in.

oh well

on the plus side that afternoon i had spilt a coffee all on the inside... saves me getting ti cleaned now.
