scottybo Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 15th September 2011, driving to work in my mk3 fiesta. next thing i know im being cut out of the car about 3 hours later. apparently a woman came out from a side road at approximately 60mph and hit me in my passenger door car went from this:http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j432/scottybo1/100_5567.jpg to this:http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j432/scottybo1/IMG00182-20110921-1541-Copy.jpghttp://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j432/scottybo1/IMG00183-20110921-1542.jpghttp://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j432/scottybo1/IMG00184-20110921-1542-Copy.jpghttp://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j432/scottybo1/IMG00185-20110921-1545-Copy.jpghttp://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j432/scottybo1/IMG00186-20110921-1546.jpghttp://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j432/scottybo1/IMG00187-20110921-1546.jpg saddens me greatly as the car had only done around 22k miles and was in perfect condition, i guarantee you the best mk3 you have ever seen (probably lol) as a result of the accident i ended up with the following injuries:- 4 breaks in my hip- 4 broken ribs- broken collar bone- fractured shoulder blade- broken arm- nerve damage in lower back (its completely number i cant feel a thing, really anoying as it still gets itchy and i cant satisfy the itch lol)- chipped tooth pic of me a few hours after the accident with Esmaihttp://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j432/scottybo1/IMG00168-20110916-1912.jpg bruise of my hip about 6 hours afterwards, pretty nasty huhhttp://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j432/scottybo1/IMG00170-20110917-1515.jpg bruise 2 weeks laterhttp://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j432/scottybo1/IMG00188-20110922-1750.jpg me 3 months laterhttp://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j432/scottybo1/IMG00194-20111002-1323.jpg me about 7 months laterhttp://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j432/scottybo1/IMG00199-20111014-1802.jpg and now im pretty much ok, i still get problems, as i said previously i cant feel my lower back at all, because of the extensive damage to my hip i kinda walk a bit funny and wear out my right shoe way quicker than my left one lol and my left arm has very little strength in it anymore well thats my shunt! what do you think?

sidrick Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Long term, what hurts more, your shoulder or your hip? Did you get compensation from the crash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahmotorsport Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. Dude i'm sorry but that hip is rancid! That is without doubt, the biggest bruise i have ever seen. I am rather jealous of your lower back numbness. Mine aches aaaaaaaaaalllllllll day long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt86 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 So lucky it was the passenger side.... Did the lady get charged or anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottybo Posted November 3, 2012 Author Share Posted November 3, 2012 depends on what im doin as to what hurts more. its difficult to describe the feeling in my back as its like nothing i ever felt before. my shoulder and arm give me a fair amount of grief. specially when its cold. i dnt know what happened to the woman after the accident. i was too busy learning to walk again to really care! me getting comp? i wont give u the exact figure but lets just say its all tied up for a rainy day.......or when i make a mortgage application Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etrebus Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 im guessing it was the passenger seat that hit your pelvis not the sub box ,glad you are on the mend hopefully you will make a full recovery .made me think as my son had a fiesta and my grandson traveled in the front passenger seat on his booster seat .makes you think how unsafe cars can be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee grout Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Thats a beast!!!! Was she pissed or sumit???? Such a shame....... ......mashing up those recaro's! Think you need to update the fiesta pic in your sig lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottybo Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 im not sure what it was that crushed me and at the time i didnt really care lol all i know is if i had standard seats without any side bolsters, i would have taken the entire force of the impact rather than my beloved recaro! the sub was in that position as the pics were taken while the police holding centre man sorted through the car with my girlfriend to get anything useful from the wreck no i will not update my sig! fiesta was my baby.......tears lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig855S Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Glad you're ok bud, but FFS couldnt you have gotten a better stick, my dads got one like that, a young lad needs a carbon fibre [effect] one or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
