Oooooops..! Broke me new car..! (with picture link)

Postby gfalls » Thu Jan 28, 2010 12:12 pm

As some of you know, I swapped the FTO for a Honda. Well I swapped the Honda for a 94 Celica.

Was up in Dub Tuesday night, and on the way back I managed to run off the road into the bushes/wall, roads were apparently icy..!. Fire dept had to cut the wife out. She's still in Tallagh hospital with a broken wrist and a fractured spine. She will be alright though. I'm covered in bruises and a few cuts to my forehead, but otherwise OK. Only had the car 3 days...Ah well $hit happens..!

Know anyone interested in a black gen 6 Celica, recent full convertible conversion. Front end needs straightening out. Free to a good home..?? :D

Update:

Maria is still in Tallagh hospital. They are going to operate on her wrist Monday or Tuesday. She'll be in a body cast for a couple of months for her back. Apart from that, she's in good spirits. :D

The cuts on my forehead are healing nicely, and I'll soon be back to my usual gorgeous self... :wink:

Thanks for all your kind words, much appreciated.

Oh...and the car's still a right off.. :cry:

Where is the Celica. If I plan to take it it might be handy to know where it is.

Hmmm, it's a little more damaged than I thought. Not even worth looking at now. :)
