Red clio..

gave way on a make shift pass on a single lane, was wet and muddy, car didnt respond to anything, just had to ohold on as i went into a tree.

if the tree wasnt there i would of rolled down a bank and into the river.

Grey clio..

was in the middle of a 3 point turn when someone came round a corner and slamed into the side of it.

the worst accident i was at was of when one of my freinds went head first into a cav in his metro, unfortunailly he was killed in that acident.

hopefully no more for me. *touches wood*

whats up with sitting crossed legged? Its comfy!

I am looking through all me pics, bring back some amount of memories.

I broke up with an ex on the friday night, smacked the car on the way home, tyre went pop around 110, hit the barrier at 80mph slid along it then went on 2 wheels then managed to get it up on the grass.

I called the cavalry and waited, I then used a sledgehammer to bend the subframe back enough to drive it home.

Monday morning in college with my mate paul, dogged english went to the scrappy saw the red un get him to deliver it to my house, that cost me 100/150 quid I can't remember which, this was back in 2000 or so btw.

Got it dropped off at the house abotu an hour later, pushed it off the loader they left. had a look at it, the master cyl had been poulle doff so there was no brakes, also no rotor arm, so I stuck a rotor arm on it and it started, drove it to the corner then back to the house and made paul jump in front of it to stop it! lol

Then set about sorting out the blue one by which time I had a new mrs who took the photos of me in the road.

Then put it all back together with the red cars gear box and front subframe. I bent the blue ones subframe so it could fit on the red car for a while (which turned into over a year!).

The blue car got the red cars dash, seats and wiring loom.

ahh happy days

nah like I said in the other thread, since shes gone I am eating decent food and exercising again, so I am a lot calmer and theres no point in getting upset/pissed off about it, it won't help and I can;t change anything.

if shes happier away then thats the way it should be eh!
