robhybrid Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 I had a little bit of an accident on friday. I got to see the world from a slightly different angle for a short while. I do have another disco that I was breaking but I went and sold the doors off it. Has anybody got a pair of front doors for sale? As for what happened well:- I twitched left to avod a car coming to meet me coming out of a bend, I twitched right to get back onto the road and the back started to come round, I over corrected and the back came round the other way, The front left clipped the verge on the near side, I slid backwards on my side to the verge on the other side of the road, The car then slid on its roof, I think I lost track of what happened after that? My head is sore now and my neck is a little stiff. Fi is giving me grief. Before you ask it was insured third party I do intend on re shelling it with the bits I have to hand.

VeryDisco Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 Small piece of advice. When informing your girlfriend that you have just survived a life threatening road accident, DO NOT just send her this: Men! Tut! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that a picture would say a thousand words and that she would gather I was ok as I managed to send her the pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LR90 Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 Glad you're ok Rob. But rebody or tube? You could turn that into a pretty capable machine and reuse axles and the like from the hybrid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainspotter Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 To sustain that kind of damage it look's like someone had their foot welded to the wilton! The damage shown is consistant with a high speed impact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 T/S how about 2 tonnes hitting an imoveable object ie the ground? no signs of gravel rash after a slide at so called high speed looks like a low speed ditch finder excercise to me.

robhybrid Posted November 21, 2005 Author Share Posted November 21, 2005 I think I was doing between 40 and 50 mph. It is the ditches that caused a large amount of the damage. I dont think any std disco can survive a rol though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niall_CSK Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 I dont think any std disco can survive a rol though. Glad you did though. Hope your engine stopped before it self destructed. Fi! he mentioned P38 earlier, might not be the kind he was thinking of, image ripping the wrapping off one of those on Christmas day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyb Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 I do have another disco that I was breaking but I went and sold the doors off it.Ahh it's always the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_a Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 If it works out and Fi gets a nice new trialer I demand acknowledgement, if however it all goes pear shaped I was never here.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterW Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Small piece of advice. When informing your girlfriend that you have just survived a life threatening road accident, DO NOT just send her this: Men! Tut! Its funny, but that picture is one of the reasons why I would love to sell the Punto SWMBO's got in replacement for her old Disco, and buy her another Disco.... Glad you're OK Rob Cheers Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
