My OH crashed the car yesterday coming home from work :cry:The car is an MX5 & normally really good and sticks to the road like glue. Seemingly the roundabout he came off at had a lot of cherry Blossom on the road & a massive downpour of rain, the back end just spun out and took him 180 and accross the road into the oncoming traffic
He had some stitches a few bruises & a headache, then this morning his back and neck were stiff.....but the car is 'really sick'.
I'm not great with cars but from what he said the front & rear passenger wheels have snapped off when he eventually ploughed into the pavement sideways,drive shaft at the back is broken, the disc brakes have shattered, the back wheel came off completely, the front passenger side wheel & something inside that it connects to? & something else on the body is smashed up, his brother said its pretty messy & he was lucky
The insurance tow people have taken it & will assess it on monday - then if its fixable will give us a courtesy car (I kind of hope its fixable it was my Birthday pressie that I've never driven yet
lol). I think he got away with his injuries really lightly! from the sounds of things
I'm just sooooo relieved he is ok
I was very stressed when I found out - he rang his mum from hosp & she came to tell me (he did consider texting me but thought it might freak me out....I cant hear phone calls & yes it would have freaked me out getting a text :cry
I could have quite easily eaten my own body weight in naughties last night :sigh: but I managed to somehow reign it in and have a couple of white options drinks (choc wouldnt have done the headache any good anyway).
so we are car-less & £500 excess to pay too
bummer eh.....still at least my OH is ok.......I shudder to think what might have happened if it was a wagon coming the other way & not just another car.
