hamspeed Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 About an hour before this happened I posted a pic of the future plans for the car in my thread... the car was nearly in showroom condition after all the time i'd spent rebuilding it... who knew an hour later i'd end up with a fractured cheekbone, and a written off Escort.... I was pulling out of a notourious sideroad where cars are always lined up against the oncoming traffic... Although a typical BMW driver decided he would park on the yellow lines infront of the parking spaces, obscuring the view of the road completly... Anyway Looking both ways I edged out at about 4mph and some some poor woman in an Almera appeared from behind the car and hit me on the drivers side doing over 40mph... I was wearing a seatbelt but the force of the impact on my door smashed my head against the glass and well there you go.. fractured cheekbone, lots of comical bruising down my face and a bill as long as your arm all for some idiotic BMW driver... We were both fine, her car had hardly any damage at all, new wing, bonnet and bumper... even the Front panel wasnt bent! The police turned up and wanted the BMW's details as he was "officially" part of the investigation but he drove off minutes after it happened... I'm pretty sure it will come out of my insurance as I was the one pulling out... But being a 18 year old guy I dread to think what the next quotes going to be... To top it off I was actually on my way to the garage to pay a bill for all the servicing work that had just been done ironic eh!... All in all not the best day in the world but enjoy the pics at my expense http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h38/hamspeed/Ford%20Escort/DSC01079.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h38/hamspeed/Ford%20Escort/DSC01088.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h38/hamspeed/Ford%20Escort/DSC01082.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h38/hamspeed/Ford%20Escort/DSC01087.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h38/hamspeed/Ford%20Escort/DSC01077.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h38/hamspeed/Ford%20Escort/DSC01080.jpg If anyones interested heres the car before: http://www.escortevolution.co.uk/forums/in...howtopic=105434 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
