Well iv gone and done it - my shiny leon met its match last night in the form of a BT telephone post. Luckily we came out not too worse for wear, I have a gash on my head but apart from that the leon served me well. Got the car back now so will be deciding what to do with it, dont think a repair is an option!

Any places that buy damaged cars like this? I would sell it all for parts but dont want a dismantled car on my drive!

Iv got a pic on the comp - how do i upload it?

Could have been worse - for both you and the car! Don't think thats going to be worth the effort to save though :(

Sorry to hear about your bad luck dude... what happened?

Jees, have nearly ended up doing the same once or twice myself! Well, end of the day the car did it's job well as you're still here to tell us about it! Did the air bag deploy?

yep, everyones alright so thats the main thing. Police said I will be getting done for undue care and attention or something so will have to wait to see what happens, even still a few points and a fine is better than a lost limb! just got to see how it all works out now, big mistake not going fully comp it has ruined me.. i dont like growing up, too many difficult lessons to learn!
