Lucky to be alive and definatly sticking to the 480 Turbo.

Some things just can't be placed elsewhere. Have you been speeding and got fined? Or spotted a nice new Volvo on the web somewhere? All non-480 messages can be posted in this part of the board.

A stupid 17 year old kid in his mums car pulled out in front of me, and turns out he may have been playing a game, called 'Dare'. Where they know a car is coming up and down the main road, so they come out of the side road and do a u-turn near you and make you swerve or brake hard, so the police told me. Either way he left it too late and iam lucky to be alive!! Shamir

Sorry to hear/see about that! Looked nice for a fiat

I really cannot believe the stupidity of these young'uns as nothing like that has ever passed through my mind!

I really hope he had insurance and that he gets stung so badly and cant afford to drive for a good few years :D
It's just such a shame to see all that hard work end up due to som stupid f**k!

Can I ask what the c**t was driving?

omfg, can't belive there are people like that. I'd just be mad, very very mad. I'm not a violent person, but playing with peoples lifes is just something that makes my blood boil. If I remeber correctly you just bought that Uno? Clad you're ok...

What a bunch of wankers! I can't believe that. I'd really want to kill them if it was me... It is good it wasn't the 480, but it's a shame the Uno's destroyed, it was a nice one...

Glad you're ok though...little bastards :angry:

:shock: Jesus Shamir, I'm glad you are ok, a big shame about the car though.

These fucking twats are simply incredible, I cannot believe that their self-absorbtion and contempt for others could be so complete and total.

Never mind high insurance costs, hope he gets the fucking book thrown at him!! :angry:

I was so annoyed i can assure you guys but he ran off, then decided to come back but when he did there were too many wittnesses about otherwise i would of....well u can imagine. Also it was the 3rd week i had been out in the car so i was well gutted. He was driving a Pug 207 S, all the side impact bags went off. Iam ok thanks guys but dislocated by big left toe and my knee hit the dashboard but if i wern't wearing my seatbelt my face would of hit the corner of the bonnet, SO ALWAYS WEAR YOUR SEAT BELTS GUYS&GIRLS!!!

Jeez, that doesnt look good, glad your ok!!

I guess you just pushed up the prices of the remaining Uno Turbo's in good nick ;)

As for seatbelts, i fitted 4 point harnesses in my MR2 just 4 days prior to getting rear ended, last sunday. I can honestly say my arse didnt move a single mm off the seat when i got shunted and the support you get when cornering and breaking is amazing, its well worth the upgrade.
Bit of a PITA for driving about and pootling to the shops though!!
