Only good thing i can take from it i have'ent done any damage to the body work and im alrite lol

[Tony_Jay86]

Hopefully you'll be able to get it fixed mate, but unless you strip it down & have a look at the chassis you really cant tell.

Atleast you did the good thing by trying to cause the least amount of damage.

The other driver should have stopped, he/she witnesed it.

[shaggers_saxvtr]

What c3nts not even stopping, hope it all works out for you ok mate.

[youngnutter]

Who took me home told me to get the number off the skip and get them to pay for damages as the skip want lit proper...

[shaggers_saxvtr]

well if the skip wasnt properly position off the road etc and it clearly abstructed you then I agree its the skip complany's fault - so you might be lucky and get them to pay but dont get your hope up :S

[youngnutter]

ner im not i mean it want like it came out of no-were just the road was so slippy only myself to blame with it being wet should take it into account.

[chrisgoodall]

Good to see you have your priorities right. The bodywork of the car coming before your ssafety. lol smileys/smiley4.gif

[youngnutter]

Just wating to for AA to come pick it up and take it to be looked at,

got a feeling after reading that last few pots not going to be good smileys/smiley19.gif

The bird who who works at the garrage bit of alrite though so smileys/smiley2.gif hehe

[b0t13]

lol

[youngnutter]

Got to look on the bright side eh?.... All i can do really

[James]

Follow the skip company up and sue the basterds.

I wouldent let this lie buddy, Theyve basiccly caused you to write you car off.

[speedyvtr]

was it dark and was there any lights round the skip if not you can sue the skip company. smileys/smiley2.gif

[youngnutter]

Was dark there was one light on one side which was almost dead

but i did see the skip just did't expect to skid for so long

cars being looked at now 1st looks got told might not be that bad smileys/smiley17.gif but im not getting my hopes up till he had a proper look at it...

[speedyvtr]

hope all is well for you.

[Mark]

just did't expect to skid for so long

Locking the wheels and skidding isn't the most efficient way of stopping. Cadence braking (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadence_braking) is a technique that can help you stop much quicker and you can also maintain some steering control.

Of course this doesn't apply to cars that have ABS fitted.

At least no-one was hurt - hope you manage to get everything fixed.

[youngnutter]

Good news got it fixed going to need to get it re-ligned and prob get a new wheel all together be best.

Cost me £85 to get it done he said he drives alrite but on my way to pick it up now so soon find out!

[Hazza17]

wow you were lucky boy!!! lol

your wheels looked fucked in those pics though! havnt damaged the driveshaft then>??

[youngnutter]

Nope all fine just need to get re-lined one thing now is me brakes are sh*t so need to get them sorted now.

[Daniel_VTR]

I done the exact same thing on Friday night in My Renault..
