We were driving home from a friend's birthday meal last night when a Ford Focus drove in to the side of us at a set of lights. It's left a large dent in the driver's door and rear drivers side door before hitting the back wheel and flicking us round. My wife was driving and I was passenger, we're both ok and were both occupants of the focus. The lights were on green and the focus was travelling in the opposite direction and went to turn right at the junction. I've had the car recovered to home and am now waiting for the insurance to come and sort it but won't hear from them til after Boxing Day so have to sit and await them. So frustrating!! There's a likely hood they'll right off my pride and joy! it's bent both doors, the sill, deployed the side airbags and scratched the back wheel, don't know if it's bent any of the running gear!

You're right gogsy, the focus hit the big tin box low down so the floor took the force, in a normal car the impact would have been higher up potentially injuring my wife more.

Well the range rover has been taken away and an Audi A6 dropped in its place! They're going to swap it for a 4x4 when one is available! Think I'll drive my L200 instead, not an Audi fan! 2007 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE- Cairns Blue with 22" Stormers |
