me and my mate were bored this afternoon so decided to go for a blast up to Middleton in Teesdale in his "hairdressers" MR2 roadster

all was going well until we went over a crest and didnt realise the road came to a T junction......





smacked the curb and straight through the fence into the field





the view we had half a second before the crash (note the two white marks on the curbs where the alloys smashed into them



bye bye alloy





managed to get it out of the field and parked up before recovery came and got us





Worst thing was the spot we hit had a load of flowers and reaths on it so some poeple werent as lucky as we were today!  

Luckily nothing was coming the other way when we overshot the junction either.

3 tyres burst on impact, bumpers smashed, dont know about underneath.

The price of a cut and blow dry has gone up 25% in Aycliffe overnight- the bank of England are nervous, interest rates may be cut by 0.50% as a result!

With committment like that, your mate should become a Road Rallyist  
Does he want to buy a 2litre Nova and try driving like that at night when it is safer (less people on the road and you can see other car's lights before you reach them) ??
