My contribution, Turbo 2000 into a few walls hehe.

Impressive, how did you manage that? I owned a W reg saloon version back in the day and I thought it was so easy to drive fast that it was actually a bit boring. Tons and tons of grip and then gradual understeer as you went too fast around a corner that warned you well in advance.

Reminds me of the days when whether the roof was bent or not determined write-off status. So only properly-bent stuff got written-off.

Nowadays, it's more about the availability of the spare parts; such is the consequence of the massive growth in products, each with lower sales.

Cost of the bits as well, several thousand just on some headlights on a lot of stuff now.

Showing off to my cousin, couldnt correct it coming out of a corner, clipped kerb, woke up having hit two walls and a VW golf.
Luckily the only real damage outside of a very bruised ego was airbag burns and my cousin chipped a tooth. Plod breathalysed me twice because they couldnt believe someone was just that much of a t*t-head frown
Every panel was damaged in some way except the rear boot lid, Cat A, felt like a colossal prat for a long time after that!

I’m not surprised!

Fair play for actually admitting it was a watch this moment rather than the old deer that was stting diesel out the back of it BS.

The joys of being 24 and thinking youre Colin Mcrae, only to realise you have the driving skills of a potato who’s had a lobotomy.
Lesson learnt though, luckily it only cost cash and no one was seriously hurt.

Unlike McRae and his unfortunate passengers, ironically.

Learning experience - I have had the odd embarrassment myself, also no injuries. . The main thing is that you had no injuries.

My worst was my first trip to the Ring many years ago, new BMW and had an off. Lots of damage, and 100% my fault. I recall Sabine passing me by in the Ring taxi and tooting and waving, big smile for the idiot (me) who did a solo trip into the Armco. Been back many times since but no repeats.

2004, GT40 (replica obviously) big engine, lack of talent, bend……hit a learner driver. My fault entirely. Everybody fine. Car was repaired very easily. I then sold it to someone who left it outside under a tarp for 15 years…….not good. &#128577;

Yes. One for the front, one for the back, typically either different sizes and/or with a balance bar to allow altering of he brake balance front to back.

Modern cars also have two master cylinders but they almost all have a single "dual" master cylinder.

I saw this on the A87 a couple of days ago. There's been nothing in the news so hopefully no-one was badly injured on this relatively straight stretch of road.
Always amazes me that people manage to crash on a dead straight bit of road, how?
I saw a car on its roof when riding up the A82 to Fort William. Pretty sure it was one of the long straight sections across Rannoch Moor.
