Ouch, although given the damage I would suspect the impact speed was probably 10mph or so.

All the best

nice to hear u havnt been forced to sell the r1. Is it the kind of salary you had been hoping for ? You had said you could only afford to take a job paying a certain amount.

ITs the same basic as the last job! but still need to do overtime to get near what was earning! but still overall £6k less a year.

If he hit you at 60, you'd be a mess, and have a lot more than a dented front and back, as Keith said, about 10mph.

Like my first week at work, damage to a vehicle Laughing

Good luck with the job, and glad to see your not damaged.

People should pay more fucking attention as to whats happening infront tho and not stare at the end of their bonnet.

ITS OFFICIAL!!!! I have THE WORST LUCK EVER!!!!

Got a nice new twin top astra with 8mile on the clock! Yesterday the roof jammed and had to get the AA out. Took 2 hrs to get the roof back up.

then today while I was in Asda, some nice sole decide to brake the front windscreen!

So this car is only 2 days old from the factory and its roof id broke and the windscreen is trashed!!

WHY ME!!!!!
