I Park Like A Woman!!!!!

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.

This and also if your hit by another car that car has its own crumple zone.

I was doing about 15mph. thats not very fast really when you consider a 6 will do about 50mph in reverse

[Midnightclub]

I don't think it's the fact that the car will do 50mph in reverse it's the fact of, why the need to reverse at 15mph into a dark parking space..

Either way, gutted for you mate, car was really looking smart

The scrapman must love you!

Gutted though :/

dumdum, can you not get it pulled out?

[Dum-Dum]

dumdum, can you not get it pulled out?

As explained earlier in the thread, yes i could but its not a financially viable option.

[Kezzieboy]

I tested this earlier, 10mph is damn quick in reverse, didn't have the bottle for 15 in my little driveway

Either way, that sucks mate...interested in what the next project is though!

[WiNgNuTz]

Tbh, looking at the damage that's been done, I think 15mph might be a bit of an exaggeration. Not that I doubt your judgement dum, but as said, 15mph is pretty fast in reverse.

Get a 205 shell, put this engine in it, dance around cheering because your new car is made of awesome.

That isn't actually a bad idea...

[KrisB]

Or drop it in a 106, thats not full of rust.

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!!

But I suppose that 20mph impact would have been spread across all the back end of the car and the same with the front of the other car, rather than slightly slower speed but the whole force concentrated from a solid object into a small area

[Fozzy]

ah shit, this isn't good, but one way or another you know deep down you can't own a car for more than 3 months without scrapping it and getting something better.

You will make plenty breaking it no doubt.
