Smash. Why you need a dash cam.......

Robson Rover Repair · 13th October 2018, 21:49

Friday afternoon, home from work. Pictures tell a 1000 words don't they.....

Dash cam time on next car. Buttmunch in red seat people carrier comes around corner on wrong side blind bend and I've to ditch it at to save my ass.

Cars wrecked. Whole passenger side destroyed. Windscreen, a pillar dented, wing, bonnet, both doors, wing mirror and rear quarter, premium bumper. Plus front arm is now bent, sills damaged and rear hub is at an angle. Would need a fortune spent on it.

Will find another, strip, swap and move on to something I am picking up later in the week......

Every cloud and all that =)

Ouch. Nobody hurt I hope.
Totally agree about dash cams and that’s why 2 cars have them fitted with a 3rd about to have one too. Good luck with the new 75.

At least you are ok, shaken no doubt, but ok. At least your car will keep another on the road.

Classic se diesel manual. Will use the bits from old auto to change her to better spec after winter, will be doing the digital air con and rear electric windows to her, along with front / rear parking, cruise control, ipk and front fogs. Want the car as good as it can be.

But first thing it desperately needs is meteors without tyres if anyone has some going cheap lol

Did the other driver stop? If not, you would have had his reg number on the dash cam. Two fitted in mine. Back and front. The rear one tends to make them back off when they see it, I think.
