...Up on the Downs

Seeing as we're on cars today....

I borrowed my Mum's Fiat for a week in between Beetles, and rote it off on black ice, whacked it sideways into a concrete lampost! I phoned home and said "Well the good news is I'm OK......but I am afraid your car isn't!"

I hope I'm not talking anything up here but I have never written off a car.

I've been in a few incidents, two were my fault but the rest weren't. None have been particularly serious though.

Here we go.....

I wrote my sisters mini off by hitting a roundabout barrier

I wrote my motorbike off and smashed the back of my mum's car up, not only the same day but the same accident

I barrel rolled my Capri and landed in a ditch upside down

High sided another motorbike at Brands on a track day, snapped frame, bike obliterated

All this took place before I was 21, since then nothing, not even a scratch

As yet I've never written off my own car... Twice written off another car when it's collided with mine.

First was business man trying to squeeze past me in a filter lane that was no longer 3 lanes... I couldn't and wouldn't move as there was a bus to my left. He hit my wheel, hit the kerb and wrote off his car..

2nd some woman didn't stop at a stop sign and drove straight out and although I stopped, not till the front of my car was parked into her passenger seat .

She thought that as my road wasn't straight and hers was she could ignore the sign.

Both times I was in a 4x4 so no real damage to mine. Both were settled that I held no fault.. but never been as scared as when I got out and could see the babyseat in the front. Luckily she had already dropped off... I didn't drive for a few months after that. Despite it not having been my fault and no one actually hurt

I've never written a car off. But, once in sixth form i parked my car (Toyota Corolla) in front of the building near a hump and went to my class.

I'm sat in the library around midday and i hear some guys trying to do a handbrake turn. Not sure why the fuckers tried doing it near a hump and they went flying in to my car. Hit my car so hard it ended on the middle of the road.

The alarm went off in my car and i was like 'ah fuck - that's my car'. All the students and staff came running to find me to tell me what happened. Went outside and saw my car was totally written off. The bloody wheels came off the axle!

A Vectra estate on an icy bend at a dogging site south of Glasgow. I was watching the rear view mirror rather than the road.

The road went one way and I went the other, sideways down a hill and into a field- 5 minutes after someone else had done the same thing.

Barrel rolled my mk1 Astra and wrote off the car I landed on, never was to sure what the car I landed on was, he can't of been insured as he never did contact me to claim off my insurance, if I hadn't landed on it I don't think I would have got away with it so lightly, just had a scratch on my shoulder and ripped my new tshirt

the Astra had a 6 inch deep impression of the other cars roof in the bonnet with took a lot of force out of the upsidedown landing. It was the only car that I've ever made a profit on, ever cloud...

Someone else stole a lorry and wrote my golf gti off, 3rd party at the time so got nothing...

Did you take their door off? So many people open their doors without checking, I'm sure most people have come close.

I can remember being stuck in traffic in a vw camper when my mum decided to get out of the passenger side to go to shop, a cyclist hit the door and almost made it all the way through the window which was fortunately open.

No but ripped off the wing mirror on my car dents and scrapes down the side and his door was all buckled so he couldn't close it. He tried to blame me but I was giving a work colleague a lift so I had a witness.

I MAY have also written off a Mk2 Astra Estate with a hedge trimmer!

Hedge trimmer was a tractor mounted thing and burst a hose as I was going up a side street. The blade fell down on the Astra as I passed it, took out the front indicator, sliced the front wing open, took the door mirror off and punched a hole in the driver`s door!

A work mate demolished a Golf by hooking a tractor gang mower in the left hand back light and dragged it through two brick gate posts!

Don't take this the wrong way, but that's a LOT of cars to write off, also have you ever thought of re-freshing your driving test etc.

I've been driving for 15years and I've never written a car off. Only had a bump at very low speed (cars weren't damaged, only a very small dent).

Was driving my Talbot Sunbeam over the border when some idiot in a Jaguar E-Type ploughed into the back at very high speed seems that the cornish ignore indicators as he decided no one turns right there

The police said he was doing close to 100mph

Never written anything off ourselves but a neighbour once ploughed into Vince's old Mustang while it was parked.

He was gutted, but on the plus side, insurance paid out pretty much what he paid for it which paid for a trip to New York.

It was unrepairable. I forgot to mention that it itself was completely written off.

And he only got it cheap as it was from a family friend. - The insurance money would never have covered the cost of another 2nd hand one for the model it was.

I wrote off my 95 VW Polo 1.0L when I was 18. I nearly wrote of my 2006 Suzuki Sv 650s when I was 21 luckily I managed to save it
