:cry: crashed my car.....

[Chris_Ward_vtr]

:cry: Last night on the way out of basildon I lost control of my car on a shickane along the A127. It was wet and the back started to slide, i steered into the slide and straightend up and then it went the other way and my front wheels smacked into the curb.
I think my steering rack is snapped because my steering wheel is turned about a quarter of the way round and one wheel is straight and the other is on the piss. Also i think i wishbone is bent. Could be worse i havent had a proper look yet.
Also took a nasty chunk out of my new Rs5 not even a week old yet.

Before anyone says it, i wasnt driving excessivly fast. I think i might of just hit some grit or maybe some diesel on the road, not sure.

Either way im just glad me and my passengers are all ok.

Just thought id let you know.

[kerrie603314]

im glad ur ok!! just makes you feel real low when u have damaged something not even a week old! just remember its only a car, you can get another one! at least at the end of the day you arent hurt! :y:

[devilsadvocate]

Bad luck mate. Sorry to hear that. Like you said could have been some diesel or oil on the road. Are you fully comp cause that will prob be a write off?

[Chris_Ward_vtr]

No TPFT not goin through insurnce because nobody else was involved. Cost me £230 to get towed home! Im signing up for some accident+breakdown cover asap.

[devilsadvocate]

Sounds like a gud idea for breakdown. I havent got that either but £230 to tow home, i may get some for the sake of £40 quid.

[Chris_Ward_vtr]

Yeh its defo a good idea, make sure its got accident cover though because some only cover for breakdowns. AA

[devilsadvocate]

Cheers mate. Will have to look into it.

[Predator_R32]

[Bake]

Sorry to hear that as well mate, but at least you and your passengers are ok!

[Chris_Ward_vtr]

Just had a look under the bonnet and i can see the steering rack is bent. Its only the track rod end thats bent so i should be able to replace that and see wot it like once thats done. Cheers people.
