found some pics of my clio on the pc and thought i would share em






thats how it looked before i had a weeee accident in it lol coming back from a mates house

after the accident it didnt quite hold the road as well as it used to, infact i dont think it ever went back on the road lol





needless to say i didnt die
bloody hurt tho
btw the other car was a volvo with an uninsured driver and nearly 2 years down the line im still waiting for money!

I know exactly how this feels, hope the injuries weren't too serious and sorry to hear your out of pocket due to some scumbag.

worrying thing was it was all very secure lol >.< 1 word, volvo, they make you cringe with just the name lol

Well it was a nice looking little clio, shame it met that end

A bus would come of worse against a Volvo!

That was a very tidy looking clio you had there budy
Did the bucket seats come in handy?

to tell the truth i didnt have my harness on (bad me i know)
and the seats were soo low down that they stopped me going thru the windscreen, so yes they were good in that fashion but what a waste of £500 lol to see em bend and manked like that, i wouldnt have them again cause they were too much hard work for what they were worth tbh

No doubt the ICE was secure enough, what Bow struggles to realise is gravity and forces, ICE travelling at 50mph say and suddenly the cars is doing 0mph, ICE still wants to go forward so something has to give really!

i didnt say it wasnt secured, i just said that people have posted it on a few forums saying this is what will happen to your ice in a crash if its not secure.

I remember having a Parcel shelf on my old Astra Gsi, it was thick proper hardwood, placed where the old one was. Had I crashed at 50mph or more, I reckon it would have just took my head off, rather neatly I take more care now.

gutted about the clio, looked well smart!

mk1 phase 3 if im correct with a mk1 phase 2 front end conversion

rims looked paht on it!

Dunc

love the mk1 clio's. had 2 so far but would buy another R reg one or if ih ad time and money get a phase 2 williams

That was a lovely looking wee clio you had mate,sorry to see it ending up the way it did.

agreed it was nice,hope they got what they deserved mate.i know how it feels.

That sums it up for me!

Shows cars from 10/11 years ago (cant believe 96/97 was that long ago!) how far behind they are in terms of safety such as airbags etc. I know its taken a hit at a fair speed but todays ergonmics wouldnt crumple up in that way, its pics like that that make me think how good progression on that side of motoring is

But to stick with the thread that is a nice clio, in a lovely colour and subtly modded. Not OTT like the majority

but to be fair it fell apart in an impact as it should

the engine dropped and everything squished around the car as apposed to in the car, i walked out of it, infact i had to climb out because the drivers door wouldnt open, onyl damage to me was winded, cut arm knee and lip lol

to say it was a 10 year old bean can she stood up to a right biffing lol

o and guess what the woman got for driving without due care and attention, dangerous driving and driving with no insurance.

9 points and a £110 fine with £40 court costs, i love the law, it was probably cheaper for her to buy that car and get busted for it than to pay her years insurance :S
