Wet road with mud and gravel on the surface + big tree. The airbag didnt go off and the engine didnt cut out which I thought was a bit strange.

Before anyone says anything, I wasn't speeding. The important thing is that I'm ok, bar whiplash and general aches and pains and that I didn't anyone else.

On the lookout for another saxo now, won't have much to spend though because I'm fully comp but I doubt they will give me much and will have to pay excess.

Do you think you should be looking for somthing with more power when you crash your car trying tio take a turning to fast? that to me says inexperienced.

Also good luck with insurance on a vts after claiming

[Jacks_Black_Sax]

get some compensation ? for not having grit on the road??? was it really wet?

im 21 mate, it was a mixture of conditions and me miscalculating the turning (I wasnt speeding)
just because a car has more power doesnt mean i have to use it.

Im aware of the increase insurance wise, something I'll have to live with.

my first crash in 30k miles of driving... i dont need a lecture.

Harsh, when you said a little bump didnt expect to go to the bottom of the post and see that pic, lol.

[SaxoKim]

Ouch. :sad:

Glad your ok tho! :P

[argylefan1985]

[landy]

no-one has to grit the roads when its wet. they grit, i believe, when it will be icey.

im sorry to see you have done that to your car! good luck with the hunt for a new one :y:

[Jacks_Black_Sax]

ah right, was just a thought anyway :)

[saxo_jim]

and it was in the for sale section.

[tastic]

yeah, it was :(

[prez06]

lol .....

[tastic]

lol .....

i dont see whats funny... im gonna loose a lot out of this

[Jimbo]

Glad you're ok dude.

Cross eyed saxo.

[b0t13]

sell it for parts and make some money back from it, that way you dont have to claim youll get ur money back and save money in the long run, insurance is the quick option..

[Charlie_sax]

oh god sorry to hear that glad your ok tho.

[TU-Tuning]

lol .....

Explain the funny side?

Gutted for you mate I was well intrested in this car when i was looking for a furio but you were too far away. Hope all your pains go away and you find another tidy car.

i would normally but theres nothing really worth selling, except the audio which i have got out already and a bunch of spares (vtr wheels, arches etc).

I really dont have the time to do it as well!

cheers ben.... im just gonna cut my losses and put it down to experience, I was more annoyed about just carrying out a full service over christmas in the rain!

oil, belts and stuff that has now just done only 200 miles!

[cooky]

Better luck next time mate !IF YOU GO RACING ABOUT YOU TAKE THE CONSEQUENCES

[TU-Tuning]

Better luck next time mate !IF YOU GO RACING ABOUT YOU TAKE THE CONSEQUENCES

He said he wasnt racing.

And thats another kick in the balls mate. All the more reason to nab a few parts before the engineer takes it away. Just a few things like the alloys and spoiler wont be noticed as they were optional extras/ you have fitted them and you could make a few quid off them. Good luck with it :y:

[Skorpion]

Shit me!!! Good to hear your ok, a slight bump in a saxo equals a big smash in another car!!!! On to bigger and better saxo's now mate!!!

[tastic]

i wasnt racing, on my own with noone else around, dont talk about stuff you know NOTHING about

[SNewham]

don't worry about people like that. Good luck on getting everything sorted. :y:

[James]

Better luck next time mate !IF I KEEP MAKING STUPID POSTS LIKE I JUST DID IM NOT GOING TO BE VERY POPULAR ON SAX-P BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL THINK IM A GRADE A NOB!!!!!

My comment on your stupid post, open your eyes and read.

[rushy_23]

LOL at all the random shouting...

Anyhoo, nasty smash mate looks very similar to my VTR. Glad to hear your okay. The little bumps and knocks proper kill the next day eh!?

...thats what you get for racing :p....

[tastic]

lol nice one cloud... im not gonna get into an argument, I know what happened, It was an accident. I just need to move on now

[SNewham]

Update:

Still ache but on the upside im looking at a vtr tomorrow :D

[xxxvickxxx]

glad your ok :) good luck with looking for a new car

[saxooxas]

ouch! didnt expect it to be that bad. Good to see youre ok. good luck on the car hunt

[tastic]

cheers everyone... just gotta decide if i should upgrade to a vts now!

roughly £500 extra to run a year over 3 years (insurance, tax, fuel, parts etc)

is it worth paying for the extra power and spec?
