I cant believe it, I had 4 tyres slashed and the car driven into by Green Flag earlier in this year and now this!!

Driving home on the M4 last night, comes to a halt in the traffic and I hear a skidding sound then BANG, this guy slams straight into the back of me

Theres a big vertical crack in the rear of the car up to the number plate and it now pulls to the left. Any ideas of what could cause the pulling to the left, could be a bend in the chassis or is the car strong enough to survive the impact - he pushed me foward with handbrake on but not sure how fast he was going.

In the Clio today and without the usual early morning smile

With luck the chassis will be ok, and it's the wishbones and uprights that have been bent.

Good luck sorting it out.

I hope you had a few choice words with whoever hit you. The standard of driving on motorways these days is appalling. I can't remember a weekend when the M3 hasn't been brought to a standstill by an accident.

Well the chassis doesn't start until just after the fuel tank, so hopefully the chassis will be ok, depends how hard he hit you etc.

Hope all goes well.
