Wrote Off? :(
Ok right the police have my car at the moment. And so far as I know the radiator is completely f*ck*d bent backwards towards the engine. Now I'm not gunna lie but I dont know what some parts of the engine are called (only had the car 3 months), but the blue thing (big circluar) must be damaged. Indicators have popped from their housing. And bumper is smashed at front.
Does anyone have an idea of whether the car is wrote off? Or how much it shall cost me to repair and whether it's worth it?
Full story here (can skip if need to):
Was out late last night and had just drove back with another friend (the one I usually mention in threads with the 306) if you live in the midlands you'll probably remember it was raining and my cars tyres were tbh over inflated and i was sliding a bit too much
we drove him back to east hunsbury and we headed off with four people in the car (me being not confident as it was wet) came off the A roads and they wished to go through the country (so they could finish listening to the album playing!) we went back through roads I'd never been on but knew it was heading back.
Went over one humpback bridge and began to slow down as It said the next one was round the corner, next thing I knew I was slowing myself down to get to 30mph (Still in 5th!!!) and must of been doing 40 when (apparently according to police) the front must of hit the top of the bridge due to most weight at front the tyres had no chance of gripping the road and I had slid as I must have landed.
The car went in the air and i span the wheel fully to the left and landed just a little off the road into a pillar! The airbag deployed and my friends were screaming, hopped out the car as fast as possible due to steam. Now luckily we're all sensible (to some extent) people and rang everyone we needed to (After we found where we were), but we had no idea where we were as the last sign was for Gayton. My best friend calmed me down as he was a leader in St.Johns.
I was In hysterics and crying etc. and no car came along for 20mins! A young bloke came along in his BMW I'd pulled him over and he chatted to the people at emergency services and everything was sorted out from there.
We're all fine as I had slowed down just enough, I'm so pleased my airbag came out though as my chair had slid completely forward
My driving Instructor (Uncle) Is coming round (to yell at me) to help me with my car, but it cost me to store the car at this place where the police have it. I'm either gunna restore the car or Pull bits off (maybe smoke the headlights) sell the rear MK1 jewels interior etc. (nothing fancy just spares) part from jewels they're lovely
Miss the car already and it felt like a horrible dream just wish it was
I'm just so glad everyones ok, I mean who cares it was everything I had worked for put into that car...
I will tell you what my choice is this evening, thanks for taking the time to read
.
(note to reader, any seriously harsh comments shall result in bad rep... think before you type I'm still very shook up and thankful I'm alive.)
