was driving home on friday night on m5, not really sure if i hit standing water or had a blow out. Was changing lanes from inside lane to middle lane car pulled to the right span around hit the centre reservation then span about 10 times before i could coast it off motorway. I'm gutted. Police said i was lucky. Nothing else involved.

Hoping that link will work for photo's.
 
cheers mate, yes thinking its a write off, hope i get some good money back from insurance now so i can buy another one.
 
Ouch!! Lucky escape there fella, gutted for you

Main thing you're not hurt it's only a lump of metal at the end of the day.
 
Ouch bet that hurt, looks to be in bad way. I would have thought a right off. Hope you get it sorted.
 
based on value of car and amount of damage, thats gonna be a right-off for sure, theres got to be well over 3k minimum of cosmetic bits there, let alone any damage underneath, so based on value of the car its gonna be gone for sure
 
God nitemare mate but the main this is your ok!!

Looks like a write off I'm afraid though.

Same thing near happened me going up the motorway...hit puddle but car badly wobbled and swerved and managed to gain control again thankfully.
 
Ouch looks nasty, but then again with todays cars doesn't take too much of an impact to do that kind of damage. How fast were you going? must have been scary as hell I would have thought.

Quick question though, did the side air bags go off?? the ones in the drivers/passengers seats.

Sorry to hear about that mate.
Im gutted for you to, like everyone else.
Lets hope it dont happen again, to any of us.
Hope the insurance company dont mess you about to much.
 
sorry to hear about the car mate. Def a right off and its a little scary that a few people have had bumps in the last few days. Glad your ok and hope you have a nice payout so can get yourself another one.
Think i need to be more careful, roads are lethal at the moment with this standing water.
God help us if it gets below freezing with all the standing water about!!!
 
So far you've been told its a right-off 7 times.. im sure by now you have the point.. feeling for ya chap. still u can pick the cars up quite cheap now-a-days so maybe a payoff and new "second hand" car for you. glad your ok if not a little shaken (spun)
 
thanks guys guess its a write off. God knows what the insurance company will pay out never had any crash before. i was going 70mph at the time and no the side air bags never went off, none of them did. :cry::cry::cry:
 
the pics remind me of what my car could look like if i had a impact like that. At least u came out alive
