[MikeCracknell]

I "know" him through the other place, the thing is, I think he was going to get a saxo, can you imagine what that would have been like?!?!?

[Quick]

Yeah he has, not sure how bad it is!
Lucky he is!!!

[Luke]

Lucky to be alive, but least he is OK.

Shame about the motor.

[PeteyPT]

Dude, you are lucky. I buy cars written off to do up, but gonna pass on this one. Cat A, I guess?

I really feel for you, it's horrible when it's obviously not your fault. Sue the pillack driving the van for sure. [thumbdown]

[MikeCracknell]

NOTE: This is NOT my car!!!!!

Ben thanks you all for the nice-ness too :)

[notime2chill]

That is awful glad no one was killed.

[craig180]

Bloody hell! If that car was just a week older it would have disintegrated in a cloud of rust!

Lucky boy though. Drivers' compartment looks pretty straight considering

[Jamie]

LMBO! Shouldnt laugh as it could have been worse but that was to funny!

[Mystic]

Bloody hell! If that car was just a week older it would have disintegrated in a cloud of rust!

Thats what i was thinking, bet he wishes he had the VTS, could have got out the way ;)

In all seriousness though thats hell of an impact to walk from. There any more details of what was going on? Why the van was doing 70 etc?

I feel some sueing is in order!

[Mitchell]

everybody gets whiplash from a crash

if you dont your just stupid

[Ferg]

Jesus... that is terrible! The lad is very lucky indeed...

[jay-vtr]

shite mate, t-cut and elbow grease or a compensation claim, either way your mates sorted ;)

[d4r3n]

that lads really lucky to be alive

[Ross-1987]

surely a saxo would look like it had been put through a crusher if it had been hit?

[rey]

thats bad!

what situation was he in to be stationary with a van doing 70?

[shooorn94]

Ouch, he walked from that? :shocked: People really don't stick to the 2 second rule anymore :(

[biteme]

LMBO! Shouldnt laugh as it could have been worse but that was to funny!

LMBO? laughing my bollocks/boobs?? off???

glad he was ok though! its really bad (i also salvage write offs... well at least the wheels are ok!)

[BenHCFC88]

[djrem]

[Ryan]

[Pat_Vts]

[Ryan]

[Ryan]

lol most struggle to outdo a vtr!! such a poor showing from a 16v 1600 engine.

[Pat_Vts]

lets make a thread on all the bad points on a ZS...

[Nathan]

Mike you made me panic then!!

Thats mad how much that car is crumpled up :panic:

How did it happen, was he stationary on a motorway???

Glad to hear he is still alive, does he live anywhere near me reg looks familiar.

sorry for spamming

yeah he does the van went into the back of him in essex and dragged him all the way to yours:y:

[Pat_Vts]

on a more serious note why are the ZS more expensiv to buy compared to VTR/S?... it seems ridicilous 4g at least for good ZS whereas 2,500 is enough for a good VTR/S?

Your paying for the Ford Badge when u buy a ZS

[Tricky_VTS]

When I saw the thread title I thought Mike had stuffed his mint Zetec-S! :panic: Phew....

Looks like a nasty smash, very lucky to get away with few injuries

[xxxvickxxx]

nasty :n: , very lucky not to be seriously hurt

[Hanuman]

its pictures like that which made me sell the sax for a safer car (pretty much any other car then lol) with a child on the way.

[Tupps]

Lucky to be alive!

Also - pisses me off when saxo owners slag zetec S' off to bits!... What gives them the right lmao!!!

[betty02]

CRAZY!!!

[Tupps]

Ooooooh yes - that very prestige and much sought after FORD badge!!

[Hanuman]

its funny how everyone who owns one car will automatically rip any other car,

ford v citron, i think ford would be more sought after and more looked upon than a citron, theres the st's popular diesels they do, what do citron do these days apart from adverts with robots, and considering people slag the ZETEC s of to death saying its slow for a 1.6 blablabla, is the c2 vts or c3 whatever its called REALLY that much of a monster for a 1.6? doubt it

i drove passed citron the other day seen their coupe they do culdnt believe how ugly it looked and it was for sale for 20k AS IF! youd spend 20k on a citron coupe with the way it looks

[baker556]
