Guigsy Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Got up this morning, washed the car. got on the m1 to go to the midlands jap meet. moved to the outside lane. about 30 secs later a 4x4 in the middle lane has a right front blowout. sends most of his tyre my way, as well as ripping off his front bumper and wheel arch. There is a massive thud and i pull over. appears to have hit my bumper on the passenger side then gone thorugh the mesh at the front. somehow missing the radiator god knows how... So I trundle back home and watch the gp. Ive pulled the mesh back into shape. but heres the damage The hole in the mesh was about 6" accross. http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/4485/imgp0172ax9.jpg http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/4678/imgp0173vd4.jpg looks worse but i couldnt caprure it in a picture.
