Will require a little bit of TLC

[mik]

Really yours? I didnt know you'd had a "bump" - what happened?

[ZedLeg]

Dangerous rwd strikes again.

[JLv3.0]

Looking on the bright side, it hasn't harmed the looks one bit

(sorry to hear about the shunt obvs)

Ouchy as fuck

[IanF]

Sorry to hear that....

So, what are you getting next?

[Richard]

Yep it’s mine

VERY dangerous rear wheel drive, you see

I was driving round a big-ish roundabout, it had just started to rain quite a lot, as I came off the roundabout the back end stepped out, and then the car was in a ditch

No heroic stories really. I wasn’t even going fast enough to set the airbags off

It was a lease car, midway through the lease, so the finances of the story are kind of interesting, but I’ll wait about another week before I tell those...

[IanF]

No GAP?

Oof. I had a similar thing in the BMW when I came back from Scarborough the first time in it after seeing my brother, rainy, big roundabout exit, had a bit of weight transfer, whoopsy. Thankfully it was empty (it was something like 2am) and the traction control and stability control sorted the worst of it out and I missed anything solid.

Bad luck

Ah. You need to get a nice safe 4x4. Like REV's

Sorry to see that - when I saw the thread title I thought it was a lease car, so the story of how you resolve it will be interesting.

Yep, I’m keen to hear it. Glad you’re ok.

Yeah. I’ve had my eye on the salvage auctions to see if my car pops up. The auction runs out before I’m 100% finished with the finances, so this will have to be a twaty two part story rather than me being able to wait until it’s all finished before I post

Does your settlement figure depend on what they get for it as salvage ?

[ShockDiamonds]

Glad you're ok first and foremost, but also then that the financial part doesn't prolong it and you get it resolved ASAP.

[Richard]

Asp, I realised the other day that I’ve got the spare key at home. Maybe I’ll go nick it?

[Simon]

Make sure when you settle that the balance reflects the fact you left your phone holder in there.

Sorry to see that. I like my neighbours one of these. Hope it all pans out well.

Bad luck. Definitely blame diesel on the roundabout
