ilicos Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 (edited) Hi all, Whilst doing about 3mph on an icy road up here where I live, the Supra decided it didn't want to listen to me when I steered right and went on to clip a parked car and then veere of to the right and came to rest on a lamp post. GUTTED!!!! Damage from what I can see so far: New near side wing Near side head light (have) Possible front bumper Possible impact bar Feel free to PM me if you have the above Ilias[sAD][/sAD] Edited December 24, 2009 by ilicos (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lbm Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 The old 3mph icy crash. Trouble is, you can see what's happening, and yet, still not change a damn thing. Bad luck chap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abz Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 So sorry to hear this mate & these are the worst like LBM says, you can see it unfolding in slow motion but you can not do anything! Luckily the damages are not too bad though the timing is impeccable! Put up a wanted post dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewOW Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 It was almost slow enough to jump out and get in the way of the impending crash. At least you'll recover! It's still very mild down my way, and no snow or ice left at all, thank goodness! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me about it... If it had happened any slower I would have been going in reverse!! I have a front bumper if you need one mate. Peter I will take a better look today or tomorrow and see if mine is salvagable. Cheers So sorry to hear this mate & these are the worst like LBM says, you can see it unfolding in slow motion but you can not do anything! Luckily the damages are not too bad though the timing is impeccable! Put up a wanted post dude. The thing is that the wife had a similar crash two weeks ago in heavy rain and that just cost us £760 to get sorted! sorry for you mate .i have the front crash bar here just cover postage if you realy need it. Cheers, I will PM you once I have had a look if you dont mind holding it for a few days. Loving the S/C build thread at the moment! It was almost slow enough to jump out and get in the way of the impending crash. At least you'll recover! It's still very mild down my way, and no snow or ice left at all, thank goodness! I have thought back and regretted not trying that.......The thing is, I didn' fancy becoming the filling in a 1.5 tonne by 1 tonne sandwich!!

Fitz Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Sorry to hear chap, I got caught at Gatwick airport whilst the snow and ice covered the roads. The drive back was interesting to say the least, 20mph on the M23 partly sideways for most of it, still trying to get the stains out of the seats now.

Chris Wilson Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Maybe spare a brief thought for the owner of the "parked car" though? How much damage was done to that innocent party's car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Maybe spare a brief thought for the owner of the "parked car" though? How much damage was done to that innocent party's car?

Chewie Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I had a 3 mph crash and overcame the post trauma by saying to myself I got a new front end for the cost of my excess. Silver lining and all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Had 2 get dug out of my street on Tuesday by a pensioner who told me how stupid RWD was. He's got a point, in this weather. I've not been able to drive mine by default, as the battery died a week ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky49 Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 It would'nt even cross my mind to get the supe out in this weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilicos Posted December 26, 2009 Author Share Posted December 26, 2009 Would a 3mph crash be enough to damage the bar? Caught car only about 5-6 inches in, so impact was on my light, bumber and wing. I think it may have slightly got bar. The thing is at that speed, if it was head on there probably would have been much less damage! Sorry to hear this bud any pics ? Will upload later Maybe spare a brief thought for the owner of the "parked car" though? How much damage was done to that innocent party's car? Was a Ford Galaxy and only cracked his bumper. He was very understanding and appreciated that I went door to door to see who owned the car. l S D ? and not the limited slip type Nope:( hi chappy ,was that going in a straight line then ? I didn't drive my supra in the snow . was affriad of bumping in to another car . Yes, was a side road and car was parked on road, I went to maneuver around it and the car didn't respond at all.
