Title: not a good day
Post by: bucketshred on December 24, 2005, 08:06:45 PM

I wrote off the car with my sister in it.  Smashed into a stationary vehicle at 60mph.

We are ok, just shaken up.  I'm going for a bike next.

:D Yep if you`ve been able to hit a stationary car at 60mph then going for a bike [ i asume where talking motorbike here]  is definatley the way to go. Nothing can kill you as quick just make sure you have your doner card upto date.

Glad you're both okay. What happened?

Must have been quite a bang. Must have been a pretty safe car if you can walk out of it after hitting something @ 60 mph.

If It happened to me with my car, I'll be pushing up daisy's for sure.

The main thing is that you are ok- metal can be fixed or replaced. Bad luck. I was in a bad smash many years ago- it shakes you up a fair amount.

Basically I came off a roundabout and flicked my mp3 player, next moment, SMASH, car spun around the road, sounded like a surround sound smash, lots of bright colours (the brain does a very funny thing when you think you're going to die) and then I jumped out the car and pissed myself laughing, it was surreal.  It felt like a handbrake turn with a shunt.

Neither of us were hurt, I'll post pics of the car another day tho.

Cheers for all the well-wishes.

Andy!
