Fortunalty he only came out with a few cuts and bruises, how he dindt die i do not no.

[JC-Furio]

Explain? Looks nasty.

[adamsax]

Probably going too slow...

[kyle_d]

F*cking hell, that's bad. Lucky he only came out with a few cuts n bruises.

You hit anything or just lose it and go offroad? Looks like it rolled too?

[Craddock]

jesus what happened?

[Marcos]

that looks nasty i want vt kit :P

[kcsaxo]

'fun' as in ragging it or just out for some 'fun' as in ripping it? no offence but to do that kind of damage required either speed or stupidity. unless you were hit by another vehicle in which case i apologise for. glad youre ok though.

[kxhaz]

ouuchh thats pritty bent think thats gon i bit 2 far to polish out

another reason to put insurance up on saxo's

[evans1089]

was a nice car, glad they ok though!

[Barry123]

looks fun.

[davew]

bugger.

nice wheel trims aswell.....

[Jagztorious]

can you explain what happened? and what was your minimum speed? 80mph?

[Calyx]

Was a bit of both speed a stupidity, basically i overtook my mate, who then put his foot down, but been as stubborn as I am , I contiuned to overtake and broke in a corner, back end went on me , hit a tank kerb, then bounced up to hit a huge tree then cartwheeled it. :(

[JC-Furio]

Good job

[Barry123]

Who was it you or your mate?

Sorry to hear about it anywayz

[Calyx]

Yeh pretty much but never thought it would get that far. Lol

[Calyx]

Its my mates car and hes here posting now mine is the silver one in the pics ;)

[syvtr]

ok thought i was reading wrong when you said it was your mates then you posted sounding like it was you....

[MikeCracknell]

I am glad you are all OK, but it shows that it is another case of "I am an amazing driver and will never crash"

That is EXACTLY the reason that young people have to pay STUPID amounts for insurance.

[JC-Furio]

Take it he won't be making a progress thread ;)

That is EXACTLY the reason that young people have to pay STUPID amounts for insurance.

Sad and true :(

[Calyx]

Lol JC no he wont :)

Mike your right not gonna argue with you. Was just pure stupidity.

[Pana440]

Wow, I guess you don't need everyone telling you it was stupidity as you already admit it!

I'm impressed he only had a few cuts and bruises looking at the state of the car :fcuk: glad you were all ok, that's the main thing :y:

[Jagztorious]

hope you've learnt your lesson danielson.

[Calyx]

True, now just waiting to see what happens, had ma interview with police, so maybe gettin charged with Due care and attention, or i have to go on a course.

Dad aint to happy owe him alot of money, just devostated i wrote it of in a day

[Calyx]

Learnt my lesson? Of course lol, no more silly driving, its the second car ive screwed up, the first been a legendary AX, and some stupid women forgot to brake and drove into me :(

[Jagztorious]

i can't imagine how you feel. After 1 Day?...

My dad would of hung me by the the throat

[Calyx]

Yea travelled to manchester on the wednesday, and smashed it up thursday. Just started a new job so going to buy another saxo and the same colour so i can bring back the memories lol, minus the wheel trims

[saxmaster]

im lost you say its your mates then you say you crashed it :S

so you over took him- correct?

you lost it?

how did he crash?

im lost :S

[saxo_sal]

effing crazy b4stard
bet he was well gutted.

[Slammed_Posi_Vtr]

im lost you say its your mates then you say you crashed it :S

so you over took him- correct?

you lost it?

how did he crash?

im lost :S

read the thread

[eoey]

you'll be a very nervous passanger for a few weeks mate

but at the end of the day bank notes can be replaced your life can't....

dont be racing on back roads its a fools game... could end up killing someone else which would be worse than yourself. motorways in the early hours if your addicted to speed. which alot of ppl actualy are addicted to tbh.

[SaxoAlex]

if you were overtaking on a corner, some poor bastard could have had a head-on crash with you and would have been wiped out by your shit driving. thinking you're the next hamilton. im sorry but i have no time for people like you. Im just glad it was only you hurt and not a family on the way back from the supermarket.

People like you really PISS me off.

[Saxo_Scott]

looks like we gota pay more for our insurance next year lads


cheers buddy :n:


and its in a hard to find colour :n:

[Amiee]

Well he was a bit stupid to say the least.

[saxmaster]

read the thread



i have and it makes no sense.

[JoNaH_FTW]

well its a good story to tell in a few years time, ' I wrote off my car within 24 hours of getting it '
lets hope you learnt from your mistake

[Luke]

How long ago was this?

That's why you should never pratt around. If I ever want to overtake a mate, I make sure the road is straight and have the power to see me through.

[SaxoAlex]

Well he was a bit stupid to say the least.

and understatement of the year goes to....














;)

[Josh_24]

shame one of the nicest mango furios ive seen.
glad your all okay :y:

[Mr_X]

cant believe the amount of people who crash there saxos a within a day of buying them.
another thing i cant believe no ones mentioned t-cut.

[craig180]

Pillock

[bullit]

cant believe the amount of people who crash there saxos a within a day of buying them.
another thing i cant believe no ones mentioned t-cut.

as the t cut gag is boring now

i nearly smashed mine after a few days, didnt realise the brakes on saxos were so shit, luckly got away with it

[craig180]

i nearly smashed mine after a few days, didnt realise the brakes on saxos were so shit, luckly got away with it

I've never "nearly" crashed mine because I can drive ;)

[JC-Furio]

I've never been close to crashing, despite the shit brakes that the saxo has, at the end of the day, general knowledge and the ability to see is all you need to drive safely imo.

Shame you lacked one of these.

Can see why insurance is so high for males at a young age though... all comes back to people like you. Just be glad this time it was only yourself hurt and not a family as someone else said. Saying that, comments in this thread are quite nice tbh, some people get "You stupid fucking cunt, hope you're never allowed on the road again" :y:

[Josh_24]

ill be honest ive locked up going round chicanes (sp?) the odd time
just being a dick ive learnt now anything hits you when your in a french tin can your fooked

[bullit]

I've never "nearly" crashed mine because I can drive ;)

and you dont go above 30 lol

[dannyhall]

LOL. Legend's.

Why race two 1.4 Furio's? Surely they're the same speed! Muppets.

[JC-Furio]

LOL. Legend's.

Why race two 1.4 Furio's? Surely they're the same speed! Muppets.

lol, was thinking that earlier... ;)

Wouldn't even think of racing anything in mine, has the acceleration of a turtle :)

[Godzilla]

You are an idiot.

[immense]

Congrats

[Mr_suv]

damn teaches you to drive with a bit of sense tbh, glad your alrite which is the main thing tbh

[Mr_X]

if you were overtaking on a corner, some poor bastard would have had a head-on crash with you and would have been wiped out by your shit driving. thinking you're the next hamilton. im sorry but i have no time for people like you. Im just glad it was only you hurt and not a family on the way back from the supermarket.

People like you really PISS me off.

That exact same thing happened just out side my house, whole family killed.

[Calyx]

He wasn't racing me :s. He was racing a 1.2 16v clio lol. I had nothing to do with it.

[Calyx]

End of the day he has learnt his lesson and admits its possibly the most stupid thing he has ever done but it doesnt make good reading some of you just replying "dick/idiot" etc.

[Calyx]

Oh and to clarify he wasnt overtaking on a corner ;)

[Godzilla]

End of the day he has learnt his lesson and admits its possibly the most stupid thing he has ever done but it doesnt make good reading some of you just replying "dick/idiot" etc.

He may not realise how much of a penis he has been, so we therefore must enforce it.:homme:

[Calyx]

I somehow think from family other friends the police and the fire service he has heard enough about how he has been a dick all he was doing was posting to make conversation in a saxo owners club about a saxo he had.

[MikeCracknell]

End of the day he has learnt his lesson and admits its possibly the most stupid thing he has ever done but it doesnt make good reading some of you just replying "dick/idiot" etc.

Those people who are writing comments like that may well have been victim to someone who drives like that. Or they may not even consider driving like that. Yes he probably has learnt his lesson, but the worst thing you can do is come on to a forum where driving like that is heavily frowned upon and tell everyone what happened and expect every person on here to say "yeah we race each other/drive like that all the time. So gutted for you, get another car and drive like it all over again" - it won't happen.

You have got away with your lives, and learnt from it. Don't go on a forum almost boasting about it and showing it off to be like a trophy "here's the result of my stupid driving - good isn't it" (you have got away with it lightly on here to be honest)

Now learn from it (I am sure you have) and show us all your next Saxo, make it a stunner, and drive safely :hug:

[Calyx]

Yeh see where your coming from mike but he hasn't come on and said ere mate look how class me car looks if you drive it well fast and crash. All he wanted to do was post up some pics explain what happened to try and put a dampener on other people that might think its cool.

[Danr]

ha ha, what a cunt.

[Mr_X]

for a bunch of saxo owners we are quite mature really, we dont all live at macdonalds with max power stickers

EDIT: if you didnt have your foglights on it might have all been different ;)

[MikeCracknell]

It has worked, but unfortunately, there will always be people on every forum that are very heavily gonna pound you if they see something like this :)

[Berg]

looks pretty bad,
stupid thing to do but its done now and the main thig is no-one was hurt and that you learn from it :y:

Repped, listen to this guy!

[MikeCracknell]

*As a rule* the people on Owner Forums are better at driving than the people who are part of "fierce-chav-rides.com" thats why that insurance bloke on here has that discount for us :)

[Mr_X]

exactly, people just assume saxo=chav

[Danr]

I really don't understand but he crashed his car a day after owning it. Sucks to be him.

[Godzilla]

Where did the posts go?

[armyryan1875]

thaks for making my insurance go through the roof guys!! idiots

[Mr_X]

so how exactly did you/your friend crash?

[MikeCracknell]

Where did the posts go?

Gone as that sort of exchange is for MSN/Pager/PM's and will only make this turn nasty!

[Ryan]

im sure the fact that the rear is down a stupid amount also didnt have anything to help with the lack of driving ability there.

[Mr_X]

sick of twats like that, they kill innocent people.

[Godzilla]

Gone as that sort of exchange is for MSN/Pager/PM's and will only make this turn nasty!

Fair play

[danzman1991]

=S Nasty

[Calyx]

Right to clear this up.

MrX MY FRIEND posted this morning pictures of his car before and after his accident. He was driving on tank roads with 3/4 other cars whe n2 of them (my friend and the guy with the clio) decided they would fuck around. My mate overtook him carried to much into the corner and lost the back end thus resulting in him hitting a tree and rolling it.

Yes he was an idiot and yes he knows it but all hes doing is trying to make other people avoid the temptation of racing on public highways.

[Calyx]

Oh none of this had anything to do with me this is just my account.

[Phil_Reborn]

Rite this is me the person who wrote of the saxo, i realise i have pissed off a lot of people with my stupidity, but if you want to just be pricks and judge people all the time then go ahead. I realise what i did was stupid, and I have well and truley learnt from it, I smashed up a car that I liked, but not enough, my dad had the decency to buy it for me and i threw it back in his face, i have that to live with, but im trying to make up for it, by proving im a better person by saving up to pay him back and buy a new care which i will respect and look after. Theres no point in messing about with life, like i did. I apoagise if i may of offended some people, and thanks to the other guys who see where me and my friend are coming from

:clapping: good response.

[Calyx]

Are people going to stop pointing fingers at me now like i had anything to do with it.

Thanks.

[Danr]

Thanks.

You had something to do with it....
http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d193/danredmond/iStock_handpointing.jpg

[Calyx]

HaHa How hilariously funny...

[Danr]

i thought so too :)

[Calyx]

Listen hes been on hes admitted to being stupid and ive cleared up the fact this was not me nor was i racing him.

Post something useful or please dont post at all.

[Danr]

How can anyone post anything useful now. Shit thread. Lock.

[saxmaster]

Yes he was an idiot and yes he knows it but all hes doing is trying to make other people avoid the temptation of racing on public highways.

what moron would do that anyway???

o sorry

[Calyx]

Was that a sarcastic post?

[laura_g]

car was really nice, 3 lads i knew died a year ago today for dangerous driving so its always good to know no lives have been lost, glad your ok

[Calyx]

Only a shit thread now mate cause its been cleared up and YOU have ran out of useful things to say.

[Calyx]

Thanks Laura.

[Phil_Reborn]

Cheers Laura, Probs getting done for driving without Care and attention, horrible 3 points and a fine :(

[Danr]

i didn't say anything useful in the first place. Tbh you didn't ask a question so no post in here has been useful.

http://www.medgadget.com/archives/img/pacifier.jpg

Put it back in.

[saxmaster]

Was that a sarcastic post?

no, why would i be sarcastic about such a serious topic?

a friend of the family recently died in a crash when some michael schmacher decided to impress with his driving skills, so not really a joking matter, at least at 17 i thought people would be mature clearly not.

[Calyx]

Useful was maybe's the wronf phrase to use then so sorry. More... Supportive then.

[laura_g]

Cheers Laura, Probs getting done for driving without Care and attention, horrible 3 points and a fine :(

its better then losing a life i guess :)

[JC-Furio]

Least he's got the balls to admit he was a cock, more than most peeps have so fairplay to him :y:

But you have to see coming on here telling us about it will just piss the majority of people off, as this is the cause of our wankstain insurance. Fair enough he's learnt from it, but no need to do it in the first place in all fairness, also really makes you wonder if the age to drive will be upped by people like this...

[Phil_Reborn]

Yea insurance is stupid like for young drivers, i mean the likes of ma dad is paying a year what i pay in a month. As for upping the age for driving i agree, more lads than lasses.

[SaxoAlex]

Yea insurance is stupid like for young drivers

CAN YOU NOT SEE WHY!!! its because of people like YOU!!! :panic:

[MK2SLAG]

what an idiot,when i first passed my test i did some ragging about and showing off,but i had the sense 1: not to break on a corner(*snigger* you numpty) 2:not to put other peoples lives at risk 3:not to smash my car!

you dont deserve a license

[SaxoAlex]

why didnt you at least ATTEMPT to take the corner at speed, rather than trying to brake round it? As soon as you brake on a fast corner you've commited yourself to crashing-as you've learnt. This guy clearly has no idea.

[MK2SLAG]

why didnt you at least ATTEMPT to take the corner at speed, rather than trying to brake round it? As soon as you brake on a fast corner you've commited yourself to crashing-as you've learnt. This guy clearly has no idea.

exactly!!

braking on a corner is the most rediculous thing ive ever heard!!

think about it turning corner....front end heavy rear end light mid round a corner = bye bye rear end,hello nearest field

[SaxoAlex]

So so true. Tyres cant cope with doing too much at once, i.e ragging it round a corner and braking. What a noob.

[Phil_Reborn]

Yea i relise that, i hadnt drove in a year, so i went out, without experince,

[Phil_Reborn]

END OF, no need to start getting personal im quite aware of my mistakes. Thankyou

[MK2SLAG]

personal? its an honest opinion mate,obviously you still havnt realised your mistake bloody fool tbh!

[Phil_Reborn]

U obioulsy havnt read the fourmn, i do realise my mistake actually, i smashed up a 2000 pound car that my dad bought me. i was a twat but i no wo ive dun. so back off

[MK2SLAG]

drive like a cock,get treated like a cock,end off.

[Phil_Reborn]

U dont even no me lol so how can you make judgments like that.

[saxmaster]

well its clear you drove like a cock, so therefore get treated like a cock.

even if we knew you, youd still get treated like a cock.

[Phil_Reborn]

ur just a small mijority, u shud no everyone makes MISTAKES!

[gozzy-vtr]

lol! woops. glad everyone ok

[saxmaster]

ur just a small mijority, u shud no everyone makes MISTAKES!

you even type like a cock.

[Phil_Reborn]

Yea taa. I wont be posting or viewing this forum anymore. Thanks to the people who understood where i cam from, and fuk off to all the knobs

[SaxoAlex]

Fuck you too. Next time u might not be so lucky ;)

And dont come on here posting pics of ur smashed up car and expect people not to make comments.

[saxmaster]

ding dong one more t**t gone.

[KamRacing]

It seems a lot of immaturity is flowing freely today.

Time for everyone to get off their high horses.

Do I expect a 17year old to drive in a mature fashion....
of course not!

here we have an inexperienced driver falling foul of the lack of training in car control and the lack of experience. I think we can safely say he's done a lot of growing up since his moment of recklessness.

Phil, what you most likely found is the dreaded lift off oversteer. Its a characteristic of the rear torsion bar FWD cars and something you should learn to expect and avoid when possible. By braking hard, too late and lifting off the throttle it was probably inevitable.
99% of people when they panic and start to loose control will lift off.

Yes many of us have been involved in serious accidents or lost relatives and although it is sad and emotional its really irrelivant to this thread and your anger at your loss should not be directed at Phil. He is not the cause of your own pain and getting into a childish slagging match degrades the situation somewhat. Everyone makes mistakes, everyone who hasent is 99.9% going to at some point in their lifes. The people who stand out are the ones who stand up and admit it, listen to advice and go away with the determination to make themselves a better person.

phil - you are not a good driver - you are a new driver; so its time to look at improving your attitude and your skills when behind the wheel. your driving test does not teach you about car control but some basic skills to try and teach you to be safe. Realisation of your lack of ability will save your life, other peoples lifes and a large financial dent too.

And with that excellent post ^^ this thread should be locked!

tbh thats a harsh analysis of 17 year olds, if thats the case why is the age so young for a test?
what has age have to do with a thing surely youve reached an age were maturaty and peare pressure isnt an issue sadly this isnt the case as shown.
i may be 18 but tbh ive never once driven like a cock or ''ragged'' my care purely for the fact i respect it and others on the road. he clearly shows he has no car for any one on the roads.
so i dont agree there young they all drive like pricks.

[carlyvtr]

oh dear

[Ryan]

the end........

[MikeCracknell]

At least the person who was driving was responsible enough to come on here now and say who it was, but see what I put before about "trophies" etc.

He has now learnt the harsh way, but maybe putting on here in the way he did was not such a good idea.
