Saw this yesterday morning on my way back from work, not sure what exactly happened, but that is on the exit of a round about (where the fiesta is coming from in the 1st pic) on a dual carrige way. Isnt a tricky roundabout to take....is a bit of straight road either side of the round about

On the other side of the fence to where the saxo ended up is a pond where people go fishing!

[Karl]

LOL! Looks like a classic Saxo crash,
seems a bit overkill,
perhaps brake failure?

[mitchell_saxo]

wow thats bad

[David]

Needs lowering...

[craig180]

How the hell did it end up there???!!!

Should have slapped a sax-p flyer on it!

[adam_saxo]

I think someone was going a bit too fast!
Lucky escape though, could have been going for a swim!

[Viper]

oh god! bet that hurt. lol

[mattg]

How the hell did it get on there, looks as though it should have hit the barrier and stopped.

[JamieB]

How the hell did it end up there???!!!

my guess would be he was either racing or showing off to his mates, tried to go round the roundabout to fast, turned to wheel, car didnt turn, pooped himself, got some air from hitting the curb,then ended up there!! hes quite lucky as hes parked it splat bang in the middle of a lamp post and the fence!! cud of been quite serious

wonder what he/she will say to the insurance company???? :geek:

[Karl]

Couldnt of happened to a nicer colour (if its icelandic grey :P)
Im confused to why it didnt hit the lower barrier and fold into that..

[craig180]

My guess is it got air after hitting the kerb

[Berg]

wooooops

unlucky tbh

[djmartin]

maybe the driver is a skateboarder and tried to see if he could grind his saxo LOL. if it is that he should have waxed the barrier first lol.

[JamieB]

yeah its icelandic grey

i can only imagine he didnt hit it because he got enough air when he hit the curb, which threw the car over the barrier.

[Karl]

was the airbag deployed?

[Robin91]

Yeah that road looks like cack tbh.

Don't know if anyone else noticed it, but looks like there's a silver saxo over the barrier? :zainy:

[Danr]

Touch of lift off oversteer i reckon.

[JamieB]

was the airbag deployed?

didnt get out to have a look at it, cudnt see one from my car though :wacko:

[Ferg]

LOL I bet you were abit surprised to see it suspending there like that...

Driver had to be driving like a dick to get it there tbh...

[d4r3n]

hahah thats mad poor saxo.

[Karl]

Ah well, one less Saxo on the road, eh? :(
soon theyll become a rarity.

[Robin91]

Ah well, one less Saxo on the road, eh? :(
.

Surely that's a good thing? :P

[d4r3n]

Surely that's a good thing? :P



tut tut cant go saying things like that on a saxo ownership web site lol !

[ryhornvtr]

Lift off oversteer ftw.

[Saxy1]

Another one off the road.

[Robin91]

tut tut cant go saying things like that on a saxo ownership web site lol !

*Expects a prompt banning* :panic:

[Ibiza_Rik]

looks well funny...

[JimoVTR]

eager fisherman

[saxowebby]

boy racer chav probably thought he could take the island at 90 and

crash

[TU-Tuning]

That should be the new banner for saxp, the main homepage pic and the little icon on the tab

[djmartin]

is the saxo actually any member off here? or dare i say it SSC?

[Amiee]

Opps haha...

[JamieB]

is the saxo actually any member off here? or dare i say it SSC?

thats why i put it up, incase someone had mentioned it, had a look round other local sites to me, not heard or sen anything as of yet

[vidal]

Was it a copycat from Gazzza's "off road" thread?

V.

[Paul]

Thats not icelantic grey, thats quartz or artic steel.

Looks like he took the wrong turning off the roundabout.

[kylie]

lucky bugger fishing that out of the pond!

[TypeRhys]

LOL.

Last year i also saw a silver saxo stuck in a very similar position on some barriers
leading up to a roundabout.

[Ge0_Ge]

good parking.

[silver_pocket_rocket]

ouch thats going to hurt his wallet!!

[gozzy-vtr]

WOW! no way lol not funny i hope the dude was alright, but thats a wicked crash there kinda woops

[LSOfreak]

so is brake failure quite common with saxos then?

[vidal]

No, but it appears that driving like a complete stroker is.

Its obvious what happened gazza took it off road

[Nathan]

Has Nobody Noticed there is no skid marks in the first pic leading upto to kerb.

Maybe he thought he could get to 88mph and travel back to the future before hitting the barrier??
