I hit a curb while on full lock  Damaged quite a lot of the n/s of the car! From a quick look in the dark, it's: Completely mullered a wheel and tyre Snapped the track rod Bent the track control arm back Ripped the anti roll bar out of it's mount The wheel pushed it's self back into the wing and bent the wing too     Picture tomorrow  |

curse word!
Wasn't by Paignton Sainsbizzles last night was it?
Jody said he thought he saw your car with the hazards on and people stood round it.

Were you playing silly buggers? If so, don't be such a tit and hurry up and get it fixed.
Or
Was it a propper accident? (Taking avoiding action to miss a blind nun or something) If so, jolly well done, glad you and everybody is ok, its only bent metal etc. And hurry up and get it fixed.

It was outside Sainsburys at the Willows! Ah, maybe he meant that one, I just assumed it was the other as he lives near it. Which roundabout was it then? ;D I'm sure you'll get the hang of it eventually |

Hell yeah! wouldn't be too surprised if the subframe had moved too There isnt really a sub frame on the Sierra, just a crossmember which looked okay in the dark. I'm going to make a proper inspection tomorrow! Havn't opened the bonnet yet but the inner wing looks okay and the strut doesn't look bent either. |

Thats not good. Hope its fixable without too muc expense
But...I'm not trying to rub it in, but maybe think of calming down a bit behind the wheel? Leave the 'drifting yo!' to the track?
Stay safe man

It's all so familiar. Simple fixes all of it but still a pain.

Incidently i've literaly just followed a 200ZX Turbo with a mullered back wing, and totaly wonky rear wheel crabbing itself down the road , tried to get a pic but there was a Police car right behind me ;D
