A golf pulled over the white line and i couldnt avoid.. was lucky to avoid a head on collision.. so this vectra is now a write off.. cant get the door open and had to rip half the fuses out to turn stuff off :(
lol Id quit driving mate. Its not for you.
On the serious side, you alright? nowt harm done to you is there??
nah im ok, just a little shaken up.. woulda thought i could take these in my stride now lol but no it gets me every time
So long as your alright thats all that matters innit :)
Dents and bodywork can be sorted out by ripping the crap out of the twats insurance. Human body parts not so good at the whole repairing/replace thing. :)
true enough
good job you dont ride a bike with the luck you have... cant begin to imagine what your premium is.
as said throughout, glad youre ok.
BS is the automotive M3. :lol:
ouch bad luck man, good job avoiding the head on, looks like it could have been worse.
glad youre ok

We paint hit me in invisible ink on all his cars, works every time ;)
If it isnt his fault then it wont be his insurance that goes up.
that should be true but im not so sure as my insurace does cost a fair bit :(
unlucky mate, at least you are ok.
i recon it is vauxs that are unlucky, you should try a different manufacturer, cant think of any of the top of my head tho ;)
well since rovers and MGs look fugly it wont be one of them :P

you should get yourself a Volvo incase you have a serious accident :shock:
lol serious accident... hes gone through a fence twice I think, rolled one?? and now this one, think there was another one.
I think the guy has had as many serious accidents as one is meant to get in a lifetime :D lol.
dont drive vauxhalls. they make you angry.
i have only had one serious accident, span off a dual carrigeway at XXXmph and went through a fence down a ditch through a hedge and slid to a halt in the middle of a field. Never been upside down in a car ever.

Doesnt David Banner drive one of those? :D
sh*t u should just not drive period
i like the way someone else causes an accident and people tell me i shouldnt drive.. that makes total sense.. dumbass
How many accidents have you had so far then? And some how every time its always completely someone elses fault?
"His lights were too bright and caused my spiderman-esque reflexes to fail at 100mph. Ergo, it was his fault I took the scenic route, upside down."
you dont make it any easier for urself by posting pictures telling everyone youve had yet another accident
meh yes yet another person has inconvenienced me by crashing into my car.. i can see why thats confusing.
Of the 5 accidents i have been involved with in circa 4 years 1 has been well and truly my fault.. speeding on a dual carrigeway and loosing control
the rest have been:
2x someone running into the back of my car when i was stopped
1x this guy pulling into my path at the last second and i was unable to avoid
1x a deer stood in the road and was unable to stop or avoid, yes it could be argued that if i was doing 5mph i wouldnt have hit it but if that approach is used everyone needs to pull over and walk from now on FFS
Youve had the second most accidents out of anyone I know. See your self lucky in a way a friend of myn has gone through 7 cars in 2 years. 6 of them Right Ofs. Supposdly due to someone else but its usually due to his foolish driving at times and thinking he is the king of the road these accidents have happened.
So back to a Calibra? How about you get something that aint Vauxhall and try from there. Maybe a Civic? Or something safe like a pritty new Laguna.

You killed a deer with your car? Thats ace!! :D
Oh deer.... :shock:
yes back to the incredibly quick and rare calibra turbo (LOL yeah ok maybe not)
Im after a 4.6 HSE P38 range rover next
Quote from: RivkidYou killed a deer with your car? Thats ace!! :D
Oh deer.... :shock:
Ah no i suspect it survived.. for 0.75 seconds until the car coming the other way hit it
Dude not a 4x4! I was thinking while posting that please dear god dont get a 4x4 then I thought nahhh he couldnt be that dumb!
Do not get a 4x4! Do you do off roading? Do you have a large family and travel a lot? If you seem to have so many crashes its not the way to go, you will kill someone with a 4x4, 4x4s are death trap for people that drive regular cars, imagine a 4x4 going into your cali. You would die....
*sigh* i say again i have NEVER hit another vehicle, they hit me, and i intend to use it to tow another car tbh
Quote from: Binary Shadowi have NEVER hit another vehicle, they hit me
Dude you have *no* idea how funny that sounds :lol:
its the truth man what can i say.. its black and white.. when your stopped and a car hits the back of yours they are infact hitting you are they not?
I didnt say it was your fault now did I? Im just saying you get into a fair few accidents. 4x4s are killer. You want something to tow another car, get a Turbo Diesel Estate, more than enough Torque.
its weight i need not torque
and why does it matter if i have had a fair few accidents if of those hardly any are my fault.. it just doesnt
Its just saying your cursed.
attracting tools from all over the land to go head to head with me in a 2.7 ton truck.. may the best man with the right of way win!
still think you cant drive
think what you want it doesnt make it fact
i cant see how you can determine someones driving ability from the info you have, certainly you werent a witness to any thing and most of it has been out of my control anyway
5 crashes in 2 years is it? thats all i needed to come to that conclusion
errr closer to 4 years and 4 of the 5 were non fault.. so your conclusion is far from accurate
i bet all of those crashes could have been avoided
oh yes you can avoid being rear ended by some tool in his car.. grow up ffs
i am grown up, perhaps thats why i havent totalled any cars nevermind 3!
oh yeah i forget your pefect and can work out whatever every driver on the road is about to do all the time :roll:
Id imagine hes gutted enough, theres no need to keep ripping him about it Edd. Guys, chill.
tbh he looks like a complete tool IMO and i doubt im the only one that thinks that
trying to make out that other peoples stupidity is somehow my fault is ridiculous
thats uncalled for, i was only passing comment on youre driving abilties and not personally insulting you
Shall we make love? :o
Quote from: Eddthats uncalled for, i was only passing comment on youre driving abilties and not personally insulting you
one and the same thing
i disagree, saying "i think you cant drive" is nothing like saying "hey you look like a complete tool"
altho you might look like a complete tool behind the wheel
saying someone cant drive is much the same as calling them stupid.. lets face it its not hard..
you still havent revealed the secret to stopping people driving into the back of your car when stopped
Quote from: Eddaltho you might look like a complete tool behind the wheel
and anyone that says someone cant drive because they had an accident that wasnt their fault is a tool IMHO
stephen hawking cant drive, hes not stupid is he
stop arguing ladies. BS definatly has had some bad luck but that is all it sounds like to me.
Quote from: Eddstephen hawking cant drive, hes not stupid is he
No but i hardly think i have a physical disability to compare to him somehow

Also questioning a persons driving skills is not the same as saying "Your mother was a hamster and your father smells of elderberries!" ;)
Grow up please Edd. Youre clearly just trying to wind him up to get a laugh out of someone, but its not particularly funny.
Sorry to hear youve had such bad luck with cars! No matter how hard you can try to prevent something, its going to happen!

Its this guys car I feel sorry for! Now thats how you write off a car in style!
OMG ouch!
thats got to hurt!!! :shock:
hey lets not deflect the topic, binary is obviously a terrible driver and should not be behind the wheel of something that is quite clearly too powerful for him

PMSL you couldnt be more wrong
so its just a terrible coincidence that u crashed whilst going too fast in ur old car and could of killed someone?
oo laaa dee daa im really the 1st person to have fallen off the road due to speed.. whatever mate we all do it and i have learnt from it.. its only happened once
EDIT: and FYI the only person whos life was at risk at the time was mine
your just wrong im afraid
and what if there was someone else on the road?
there wasnt it was 1am and i wouldnt have been doing it if there were other people about ffs
think you know it all but once again.. your wrong
there is one thing i know, and thats how to drive
yeah and so do i thank you very much
yea u know how to drive
into people
hah again wrong i have never driven into anyone they have always driven into me.. are you even reading the posts in the thread or just talking crap?
Quote from: Eddyea u know how to drive
into people
always driven into me rofl
well you certainly wont take accountability for your actions so i guess you deserve to keep crashing
give it another month or so i bet another thread will be up saying "some f**ker in a parked car drove into me"
err wtf HELLO being rear ended and having other road users drive onto your side of the road is totally unavoidable jeez what part of that can you not understand?
Quote from: Binary Shadowerr wtf HELLO being rear ended and having other road users drive onto your side of the road is totally unavoidable jeez what part of that can you not understand?
scratch that, what part should i be accountable for? giving way at a roundabout?
hesitation and not noticing a potential hazard
WTF the potential hazard was the 4x4 coming round the roundabout and if you dont think its the job of the guy behind to watch whats happening then you are plainly a wanker and i hope to never meet you on the road
no because youll probably crash into me
well if your behind and not looking then youll be the one hitting me and itll be 100% your fault
i guess you dont actually know how to drive after all then and were once again ... wrong
hey im not the one whose had 5 crashes in 4 years pal
err 4 non fault crashes PAL
so the 1 where you went into a field WASNT your fault?
LOL
no LOL
4 of the 5 were non fault dumbass
still 5 more than me
Quote from: Eddstill 5 more than me
well arent you the lucky one :roll:
or the one whose the better driver?
well your ignoring the facts so ill leave you to your delusions tbh
the facts are ive had less crashes than you
exactly ignoring the fact that most of them werent my fault and its probably down to sheer luck that you havent had any..
anyway.. ill leave you to it
Quote from: Eddthe facts are ive had less crashes than you
Please Edd, just shush! Youre boring me personally with your rambling.
Glad there are no bones broken Binary!
I personally think you should get a Volvo 740 Estate. Nearlly 2 tonnes and the 2.3Turbo petrol has lots of torque. They are a perfect towing vehicle
I thought at least two of your crashes were the into-the-field wipeout, and writing off Snellgroves car by running into at a roundabout?
Both pretty avoidable if you are honest with yourself.
oh **** me IM BORING YOU?
can anyone see the irony in that post?!
Edd, your turning this into a personal attack.
if you dont live near him, youve got nothing to fear when you dont run into him :roll:
snellgrove ran into the back of BS btw
uh yeah i could have avoided snellys mx-3 rearranging the back of my car easy that night.. i could have got a lift with him rather than drove myself.. hindsight r0x!
just the field really, theres no way anyone could have avoided the deer tbh only by cornering at 5mph and i bet no one does that so that 1 maybe 1 1/2 that could have been avoided
Quote from: Eddhesitation and not noticing a potential hazard
i have to say that only a bad driver would avoid hesitation if he/she wasnt entirely sure lets face it youd rather hold someone up a few second then get wiped out by some truck
Quote from: Binary Shadowuh yeah i could have avoided snellys mx-3 rearranging the back of my car easy that night.. i could have got a lift with him rather than drove myself.. hindsight r0x!
Eh, my bad, thought it was the other way around.
Some people are more acident prone than others even if it is not their fault (other driver pulling out in front of etc.) other less acident prone drivers would be more observant and avoid the crazy drivers moves even if he is in the wrong and should lose in court.
Quote from: Eddoh **** me IM BORING YOU?
can anyone see the irony in that post?!
Youre being a wild pig TBVH.
One of the Top Gear presenters was nearly totalled by a range rover pulling out just in front of the sports car he was driving, had anything been coming the other way he would have been dead. Luckily he managed to get around it.
This time it looks like some idiot pulled out as he was going past and hit the side of his car. Totally unavoidable. Some people are just unlucky and get hit several times
*cough*Jonah*cough* :lol:
Like the good old times Edd. ;)
:lol:
