Hey well i got through all of yesterdays cruise witout a problem only to go out to dewsons this morning and within 2 minutes of leaving home had my car wrapped round a light pole, light rain the road was wet, i wasn't speeding or being stupid but i was obviously going a bit too fast for the conditions,i entered the roundabout started turning and the car wouldn't turn it just kept sliding straight, hit a curb on the left hand side of the road, that flung me sideways, was aiming at a pedestrian hand rail managed to dodge that only to hit a light post on the median strip, it sucks, my car is a complete write off, both airbags deployed, and incredibly i'm fine not a scratch, so thankyou to subaru for making such safe cars, and everyone drive safe

I got full comprehensive insurance so now i will be looking for a new car, will be another subaru, but i doubt it will be a wrx because my insurance is gonna skyrocket now.

how long does an insurance claim normally take to come through???

anyway here's a couple of pics

nah not bald they weren't even to the indicatrs yet, you know how you get heavy rain but it's only really small drops, it was like that when i went out bout 11 o clock, the road is used by a lotof trucks and heavy machinery building a road next to it, so it is a bit oily, really i dont know it just all happened so damn quick
