well as iv posted up today, my beloved tara is dead Sad

after 4 days hard graft this week making her all perfect Sad

new clutch, new wishbones and droplinks, alloys refurbed, cc'd, bumper respray, wings re-painted, exhaust de-cat'd, and proxes all round!!

sods law, actually sick to the stomach Sad

So heres some pics, didnt take many but ill try to explain as well as i can!!

 


i was coming towards the bus, it decided that on a blind bend it wanted to be on my side of the road (the bus reversed to where it was in the pic afterwards!)

the road is easily big enough for 2 cars to pass, i know the road well, and have travelled up it for years Sad


due to the bus being across my side of the road i took avoiding action and went up the verge (approx where the piggy car is sat!)

as the car left the verge it obviously was a little sideyways, but it wouldve straightened if there hadnt been the merc there...so to avoid a head on collision i let the car spin out the other way, thus causing the impact between the rear quarter of my car, and the front wing of the merc!!

from this i then ended up through a hedge and in a field Sad

funny thing was, i werent even going bloody fast Sad

no airbags when off in any of the cars....

my car in the field

 


damage to tara

 


 


never got pics of the merc :S

tbh, i wasnt in a good way, as i was struggling to breath with cracked ribs in the front top left of my chest! Sad

sorry if this dont make sense, im high as a kite on painkillers Smile co codamol is my new friend Very Happy

will put more pics up tomorrow when its light!!

so farewell tara, you will be missed Sad

it was an old leyland, so think tbh id be dead!!

the police gave me the buses insurance and told me to get my insurance company to prosecute!!

the police arent prosecuting anyone!! which tbh works in my favour as i can atleast approach my insurance company with the fact that if id been driving recklesly the police would have done me for driving without due care, or careless driving!!

fingers crossed now

yeh but most insurance companys will put you at fault as you did not keep control of the car. although mention that the police said the bus driver was at fault.

fingers crossed now
