I Park Like A Woman!!!!!

[Connor]

How much weight has this saved?

[Dum-Dum]

It could be jigged but it needs a whole new rear panel welding in and the boot floor pulling straight plus a boot and bumper and bodywork to the quarter panels and having it all sprayed. Would cost about a grand to have done properly and its not worth that (well it is but its not sensible when i could get another shell for that, sell the bits off it and swap shinys to make money back)

[Strikeforce]

Omg really gutted for you mate was loving the progress on this aswell

[Jonny b]

Ouch f*cking gutted fella

[Poodle]

Blimey, did that properly fella, gutted for you.

[Niall]

O assume you will be fitting reversing sensors to your next car??

[Ed Doe]

Bloody hell buddy Real shame that! I know I gave you some grief over parts of your project, but as with most on here, I was still genuinely interested in where you were going with it!

[Kimmie]

I don't think I know anyone who reverses at 15mph :/ Still gutted for you, as much as I wasn't keen on all the weight-saving, she is gorgeous and bianca!

[CJ_Derv]

Absolutely Devastated for you pal, i wanted to hear this go with the bods on too,

You best be getting another 306 (derv!!)

This. I can't really see why you would need to be reversing at that speed unless you was messing about? None the less, it was a good looking car!

[cully]

I don't think I know anyone who reverses at 15mph

you really need to try the J turn manouver its so cool in Mc D's carpark and the looks you get could kill



tiz a shitter Dum-Dum but it was only time must have been the longest youve owned a car!

[WiNgNuTz]

The only time I reverse at 15mph is when I'm at work, one customer of mine lives down a long cul-de-sac with nowhere to turn my van round, so I reverse all the way down it.

Bad luck though mate, gutted to see another epic project fall.

[Kwik]

sorry to hear this feel for ya and i never got to see it cause i ain't been at ace for like ever.

[Eeyore]

bad luck! D: Im always worried about doing this. Outisde out house someone had parked with the handbrake off and their car had rolled back into another D:

[C.A.R.]

General rule of thumb is that if you can hear the gearbox whine in reverse then you're going too quick.

However it's also rule of thumb that you slow down if it's pissing it down with rain.

Everyone makes mistakes!

[Grant]

Gutted for you mate, must be so upsetting

But... as said, 15mph in reverse? Seems a little excessive for parking.
Awful lot of damage too for a 15mph collision. I had a van go into the front of me at 20 with less damage than this. Different crumple zones etc i know but you get my drift...

[4WayDiablo]

Ouch! Not good :-( shame to see another one go :-(

[samass]

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

[MissTap_GTI6]

Sorry to hear this

[Toms306]

I think we've missed the point here.........how did Chris know it was 15mph? Guess he was too busy looking at the speedo lol!! I have no idea how quick I go in reverse, might have to look later!

[4WayDiablo]

Its not hard to have a pretty good guess
I doubt he was staring at his speedo

Wach out for bolards though

Good point!

[cully]

dont think the speedo reads in reverse !

[Niall]

It does cully unless you have one of the old school cable drives.

[Alee83]

You found a new car as I know of a white Rallye for £1400...?

[sam]

:O ahhh man that's really s*** :'(

[Niall]

Are you sure you did this by JUST reversing into a bollard? Thinking about it, I had someone drive into the back on my 1.8 at 20mph and it did no where near as much damage as that!!

[WiNgNuTz]

The thing with being rear ended (giggidy) by another car is that the impact is spread across the whole width of the car, whereas a bollard is kinda small by comparison, so all the damage is in a condensed area, therefore looks worse than being hit by another car. If you know what i mean.
