CsM · 14 Dec 2005, 01:41 (Ref:1483587)

i've just killed my car.

for those of you that know the manchester area i had just got off the m56 @ j7 was going along the a556 clipped the kerb on my side then the car went into a spin and ended up on the other side of the road up against 3 sign posts it was just oposite the rostherne turn off. luckly it was the passenger side of the car that hit the posts as it has lifted and bent the seat

That's no good, but worse things happen at sea.

Chris Y · 14 Dec 2005, 10:13 (Ref:1483731)

Well done.

Oops.

Never mind. At least you're ok.

I suspect this was moved into PF. Guess what? I'm gonna move it again! To Road Car.... (you were still vaguely on the road weren't you? I ended up 100 yards into a field once...

)

I'd rather see a smashed up car than a smashed up driver on road or track. just be glad you didn't have a passenger.

salvage what's possible, scrap the rest, and buy a new one.

You clipped the kerb!!...what the hell were you thinking?? where was your concentration??....where were your eyes looking??....
you really must do better next time

I think he knows all that. Now.

peteconnors · 14 Dec 2005, 13:55 (Ref:1483911)

Sounds like he did a pretty good job this time!! Now it's time to make the most of it: when I was at school I used to drive a heap of a Buick, one day it died (I had driven it harder than it was ever meant to be driven, it was a miracle it lasted as long as it did!), and I needed money to get a new car, so the word was put out that a car bashing session was to happen. it was $1 for 10 hits, you had a choice of "weapons", and it helped raise enough for a replacement! If ebay had been more well known back then I'd have definately broken it up for spares, as it was it was just broken up! It was a good laugh, but no doubt if you tried that in the UK today the health & safety jobsworths would have a field day!

Damn good thing you weren;t hurt. My dad's car, an 85 Fiat Panda, died in a similar accident on the m50. No injuries, rock lines the motorway

Thats sick. How low will people stoop to make money?

The STIG · 2 Jan 2006, 11:25 (Ref:1493386)

the question comes, why not just sell the car and let someone who truly appreciates it enjoy it?

SpawnyWhippet · 2 Jan 2006, 11:50 (Ref:1493410)

probably because he makes an extra $1k by smashing it up. Never mind the needless waste of a perfectly good sports car.

Nintendo · 2 Jan 2006, 22:09 (Ref:1493727)

$1,000,000? Yeah right

SpawnyWhippet · 2 Jan 2006, 22:30 (Ref:1493744)

I don't know if you guys recently introduced a new measurement system in Eire, but in the rest of the world, $1k = $1000, not $1,000,000.

Erki · 2 Jan 2006, 23:20 (Ref:1493763)

1,000,000 pixels for sale
$1 per pixel

makes $1,000,000

This pixelbusiness seems to be newest trend of marketing. I've seen a similar site of a race team that want to race in NASCAR. For some reason, I can't find it on google anymore...

There are 10,000 10x10px squares for sale. So it should mean that 10,000 people can smash his Viper. How would that be possible???

Quote:

We are selling pixels at $1 a piece, but the minimum purchase is a 100 pixel square measuring 10x10 pixels. Why would we set that minimum? Anything smaller than that, makes it too hard to see your advertisement.

I don't quite understand where's that advertisement and who would advertise what on that site?

So far he has got $1,800, I would laugh my ass off if it stays as it is...

And one more question: who would be ******* enough to want to trash a viper?? Go to junk yard if you want to trash something

Sorry mate, wasn;t referring to the 1k, I followed the link, and they were looking to raise $1,000,000 to start their own business. sorry for confusion.

SpawnyWhippet · 3 Jan 2006, 21:05 (Ref:1494368)

Ah, ok; now I understand!

Rockmunky · 2 Mar 2006, 19:28 (Ref:1534856)

That's nothing, my mate managed to clip the curb and flipped it somehow! He was on the capital fm traffic news too. legend.
