<div class="IPBDescription">:( my poor car</div> Yeah basicly today me and my 3 other mates took a road trip to the The National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham (for you who dont know what it is, its basicly a massive arena type place with loads and loads of seperate halls for shows etc) to go see the Out door exhibition for new out door stuff. We had a quality day just chipping about buy gear and on the indoor climbing walls etc. But i finaly got out the place in my car, wasnt very well sign posted out of the NEC. So yeah got to the round about i needed to get to for the turning for the motorway but i missed it and needed to go back around again, so i was in the right line to go back round safe and sound but out of no where a NEW mini (red it was) nearly hit me, i had to swerve onto a road to avoid the colision and i did miss it and then checked around me etc. I then figuered i needed to get back to the NEC to double round on myself but it was too late, i cliped the outside curb swang over to the left into a fence , blew both my front tiyers and badly buckled my front wheels i was and still am sooo **** off at the whole situation. Gunna cost me alot of money to get it sorted.

Ever happen to any one else or something similar?

    I got robbed of my first car accident.

    Some dumb chick backed into my car while it was parked and I was walking away from it.

    Nice. I hope my first car accident will be as exciting as that <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    On a more serious note glad to hear no one was hurt, and hope the car gets fixed quick!

    yeah everyone was fine i was soo glad, but the fence i hit wasnt i think i did more damaged to the fence getting rid of the stress than the car did. Later my m8 sed "i've never seen a foot go through wood so easy".

    well its kinda worked out about the whole getting it fixed, ive got a 3 day week at college and i can get in realy easy and atfer next week i have two weeks off!

    i was heading straight and obeying the speed limit (for once) on my way to university on a saturday to do a lab project. when i crossed an intersection an old lady in a volvo made a blind left turn (there was a van waiting to turn left in my direction blocking her view) and she hit me as i was going 50kph. my old honda was totaled, the engine compartment was completely caved in and it looked like i ran into a street lamp post. the volvo was more or less fine and lost the front bumber and a headlight from where she hit me. those things are tanks.

    take this as a lesson kids: do not EVER make a blind left turn (right turn for you backwards brits)

    edit: i suffered neck and back trauma from the crash, but only after a few days after the accident. the first day of the accident i was fine but a few days later my entire neck and lower back was stiff and i had to go to a physiotherapist for a few months. after the impact my glasses flew off, hit the windsheild, and cracked one of the lenses

    My first car accident happened in slow motion. The woman happened to hit my axle in the exaclty right place and POP! Snapped it like a twig.. Would have cost more to repair than the car was worth <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
