Pranged the BMW. Low-speed out of a roundabout in the wet. Lost the rear end and went forwards into the armco. Everyone's ok, but the car probably won't be. Nothing too bad (front corner bent in) but it's probably enough to finish the car off. Been towed by the police as it was in an unsafe location, and they'll give me a ring in a while when I can go pick it up.

Moron.

Ouch. Sorry to hear that, but I'm glad that nobody got hurt.

Sympathy. Hopefully it if fixable.

Harvest its organs and build another project car.

OR not, that would also be okay.

I'm invoking the SR20 rule because I don't give out easy sympathy.

Haha!

All joking aside, I know that feel.

I'll take some pics when I've got it back. Hopefully shouldn't be too long.

Thanks man. If it'll start it should drive, but I forgot to try it. Might have been able to escape a hefty insurance premium if that had worked.

"pranged"

I learned that word when I was reading about RAF pilots in WWII back when I was a kid. Great word. Sorry to hear about it. Stiff upper lip and all that.
