appreciate the replies everyone! yer the BMW airbags were all set off, luckily they were aswell because when i woke up again i was told that they were linked directly to the emergency services, so in case of a bad crash the police and ambulance are called instantly using the sat nav, apparently..! but yer, glad to be here! oh an mexico you said 'You really did'nt fcuk about did you?'....fcuk about wot?!? him, me or the car!? thanks again everyone, do miss the whole escort vibe!

haha, thanks mate, altho yes...last week i did actually start training again!! my goodness ive never been so sore..! hope ur alrite man

I think i may have posted this up several weeks ago on the main forum but for anyone who doesnt know or is interested in what a destroyed estate looks like, read on...on the 16th January, as i was travelling to work, i was heading down a large A road at the national speed limit, when just as i was about to pass a junction, where a minor road turns onto the main road, a BMW 5 series pulled out straight into my path about 30 feet in front of me, leaving me not much time to slam on the anchors whilst doing 60mph..consequently, i hit the 5 series just ahead of the drivers door, leaving me unconscious for about a day, with a broken leg, and lacerated hand which had gone through the heater vents, tearing my ligaments and tendons and internal bruising, whiplash, etc etc, after being cut out of the car and airlifted to hospital...9 weeks later i was out of the house, and today im now back at work, driving again, training again, regaining the small bit of life i have missed out on!! anyway, the pics are below and thanks again to mexico16v for the kind message! http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b379/t_puttick/13022008172.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b379/t_puttick/13022008174.jpg this shows how far the car has pushed back, denting the wheel on impact: http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b379/t_puttick/13022008175.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b379/t_puttick/13022008171.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b379/t_puttick/13022008178.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b379/t_puttick/13022008179.jpg i think in this one, you can see the ripples in the roof upon impact: http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b379/t_puttick/13022008181.jpg these are from the newspaper i was in: http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b379/t_puttick/C_67_image_2033381_thumbnail.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b379/t_puttick/C_67_image_2033392_thumbnail3.jpg and this is what she looked like before the crash: http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b379/t_puttick/Povox-PetrolStation.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b379/t_puttick/Povox251107003.jpg

hi guys, sorry if i havent replied to any PM's or posts, ive just got home from hospital after a car pulled out on me when i was driving my estate which ended up in a 50mph collision which gave me a broken leg/knee and smashed hand with my tendons all torn. Luckily the police and insurance lawyers are all on my side knowing that it was the other BMW owners fault. i cant now walk for 6 weeks or use my hand for about 4 weeks and means my estate is no more but is now a convertable! (due to them cutting me out), i havent seen my car yet so not sure if the wheels are ok! ill post up pics of it soon but there is not much left! anyway, just to let you all know i wont be on here much more but im gonna be sat around doing bugger all most days now so feel free to ask me anymore fitness questions! hope ur all ok, see u around, Tom

just found this on ebay and says its a 'front lower bumper splitter' but cannot see how this goes on or how it would suit the mk6 at all..! eBay http://i18.ebayimg.com/03/i/000/d0/b3/06fe_1.JPG
