Reduce Speed Now

Angle of tyre suggested that it might not be attached fully to axle anymore.
There used to be a headlight cluster here...
Bonnett should *really* meet neatly with the rest of the car rather than gape open.
Shouldn't there be a window here?
Ideal for this balmy summery weather.
Car meet wall.
Oh the irony...but note despite life flashing before eyes, I was always thinking of the composition and juxtaposition...
Reduce Speed Now by jonxyz.
I did...a little more drastically than the sign suggested perhaps.

Filthy rainy weather, man in front brakes sharply at 60mph, i brake sharply to avoid going into back of him and swerve. Car spins out, crosses (fortunately empty) outside lane, mounts verge at which point i turn again to avoid a head on with concrete wall, drivers side of car bounces off said wall (Hello whiplash...) and turns 90 degrees to end up where you see it here.

The insurance company are pricing repairs...I think it might be a write off...we shall see.

It should be noted, that fortunately I wasn't injured and noone else was involved.

Mate! Hope you're OK. Get one of those tartan beady heat pad thingys and wrap it round your neck for whiplash relief.

OMG. That looks pretty nasty. Most important thing is that you are OK... cars can be replaced; you can't.

Hope you get it all sorted quickly.

Olly.

Geez, glad you're okay. Looks like you were really lucky. I guess they've confirmed it's a write off. How long do you have to wait to get another car?
