stuball Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 Was coming home from a friends house 3 nights ago when I approached a 90 degree bend in a road that I know only too well as being a accident black spot. Approached the blind corner to find a blue Golf coming the other way in the middle of the road!!! As it had also just started raining virtually nothing happened when I hit my brakes and we collided!No one was injured thankfully, her car was driveable and is being sorted as we speak whereas I am in the process of buying a new Vectra.The car was not worth repairing so have sold it for scrap. The alloys were also off the car at the time so they were undamaged and have now been sold. PIC FAO Ian: As a consequence of this there is very little point of me renewing my membership so don't expect my cheque to come through any more, Also could you please now remove my car from the new members cars section at the start of the site as I no longer want to see how the car was! Thank You. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the new Vectra is very very nice! My brother saw one on Thursday and went and bought it, picked it up today! 2.2 SRi with 17" alloys, very very nice it is! It doesn't look like a saloon either, just like a big Astra Coupé Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuball Posted January 28, 2004 Author Share Posted January 28, 2004 *UPDATE* My dad was overtaken by a blue Escort with colour coded rear lights the other night. He says it was doin over 100 as it went past him like he was stood still. He gave chase and reaslised he knew the number plate!Turns out my car is back on the road and is on its way to being modified with a completely rebuilt front end and a Cossie bumper with new wheels also Good to see the old girl again but i'm not bitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
