Jesus SB - looks nasty. Get well soon!

Woah, that's a nasty one! Glad you were able to walk away from it and the people in the other car are ok as well - get well soon

Out of all the Coupe wrecks I've seen on here over the years, that has to be in the top five for passenger cell deformation

Seems the Coupe is pretty strong in a head-on, but less strong at certain angles

Its just a lump of metal - important thing is you walked away.

These things can happen to anyone, glad to hear nobody was seriously injured.

Get well soon, and good luck with the insurers

that looks nasty glad your ok though

good to hear you are ok, always horrible though to loose a car looks really nasty aswell glad there was no passenger in urs!

nasty,nasty, glad your ok

That is very nasty - lucky you were on your own. You must have sustained a fair amount of lateral whiplash in that.

Nothing a bit of t-cut and some buffing wouldn't sort

I'll get my hammer

nasty that could have been a lot worse glad your ok tho

Woo, thats quite a nasty smash. Good to hear no-one hurt!

Oh no another Green one bites the dust :CRY:

Glad you are ok though.

It's a bit freaky really. Another chap in essex (Southend) wrote off his green Coupé a few years ago. I went to buy some bits off him and the damage to his car was near identical to yours

He had spun off the road and hit a tree, not long after having a new engine fitted by Rog too. He was gutted so I know how you must be feeling too.

Bob

OMG - I've seen fatal collisions sustaining less damage than that!
Glad you're OK

As Hammond once said "...I've taxed worse..."

I found the pictures I took of that other Green Coupé

Here :Cry:
and
Here :Cry:

After reading about Baz's alloys, was that back wheel the result or cause of the accident?

I was thinking exactly the same thing

Nigel,

i would only add to what you have said by saying that I wouldnt buy the alloy wheels from my car under any condition. They certainly got a good smack on the kerb and who knows whats thats done to weaken the structure of the alloy.

!!!!
Glad to see you are still alive....

I have seen less damage on a car and more damage on the person inside.

I certainly wouldn't buy the back wheel from you...

sugarbear, perhaps you could pay a visit to the beavers club to cheer you up and help you recover?

Barmy Bob, the engine from that coop lives inside my car now!, yes it was scary looking at it in the flesh when I went to see Rog,

SB. Hope your ok

Austin

Hope all parties are OK! Get better soon mate.

Ouch. Only just spotted this thread.

Glad your ok.

Jesus!!! could have been so much worse. glad your ok.

Same here

Glad you and everybody involved are ok

glad you're ok mate, hope everything works out for you.

<sends sugarbear a virtual hug, being careful to avoid collar bone area>

ooh, your car does look sad in that picture

Hope you get better soon

Julia

It certainly looks as though the side impact protection of the Coupe is not that great. Although equally I guess it just shows how far car design has moved in the last 15 years the way cars like the Golf and Bravo survive the NCAP side impact and "pole" test with such minimal passenger cell intrusion.

sorry for what happened to you...

So now what's going on? the insurance will reimburse you ?
Do you think you will buy another coop ?

oooh..Sugerbear meets huggy bear

Hope you and others involved recover soon Sugerbear

Get yourself down to Uncle Stan's hypnosis clinic asap for positive coop therapy...

'You will by another Fiat Coupé'...

'You will check the oil regularly'..
