Lee R Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 = poorly Focus!!! Last night, going down a pitch black country lane I didn't know, chatting away to my brother, I came to a T junction I didn't know was there Locked up, no amount of brake pumping was slowing the car, nor did ramming it in 2nd............my brother panicked and decided to help by pulling the handbrake, putting me sideways....ironically seems to have helped avoid alot of front end damage. Any, ended up about 30 degrees in the air on a squashed concrete post (what caused most of the damage). Managed to get the car back on all 4's and miraculously it drives! Got a slight knock front the front wheel but nothing apart from panel damage. So, bye bye Focus..... it was always gonna go back to the finance company anyway because of my forthcoming bankrupcy. http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2/LRichardson/Focus.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trig Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 ah shite. At least it wasnt an escort, you would have probably ended up on the roof. With the airbag still undeployed. While Im here, fancy swapping the alloys for a set of steelies before it goes back to the finance company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
