HunterJ Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 I was travelling to work (same as every morning), but as I was straighting up I hit a patch of mud on the road and spun! must have only been doing about 25mph - but as soon as it landed (after bouncing over the kerb) it just kept going - no brakes! Typical roads round a building site. These construction companies should take more responsibility for the state of the roads round their sites! Front corner is a mess. I'm gutted Hopefully its fixable! Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colsoop Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 That looks like quite a bad one from the pics, hope you are ok. Should the worst happen and they decide to write it off don't take their first offer they will try and take the piss. Chin up and take photos of the road it all helps.

HunterJ Posted April 6, 2006 Author Share Posted April 6, 2006 Wasn't up by the new builds in Dunfermline by any chance? Yip, the very ones - just round from Tescos! Insurance company has been called - I haven't got any spare cash to sort it myself Photos of the road attached...police aren't interested - I'd have to have killed someone apparently... Thanks for the support guys. Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Spun there myself in the Supra but just caught it, totally spun the MR2 and ripped the rear tyre off on a kerb. The roads there are like a total mudbath and you (not any comfort) aint the first person to be caught out. Hope you get the car sorted soon but I'd be making noises with the council as well.

JohnA Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Ouch, this sucks. Hope it's not a writeoff. We'll need another RLTC group buy soon I guess... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 If that road was round here it would be considered in mint condition. I went to the pub last week and the car looked like it had been raliied after 1 mile. You townies.... Bad luck, never good to see someones pride and joy damaged, but no one hurt.

Guru Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Lol I agree Chris the roads round Shropshire are on a whole different level sometimes. Guess you just don't expect it in a town as bad as that.
