  • I killed my DS3

    I dont post on here often, but I do come on and read the forums.
    I hit a freak hailstorm on the M601 heading into Carnforth on Saturday morning, when a touched the brakes to slow down at the end of the motorway I lost all traction and went over a grass bank and then over 2 lanes and ended up on top of the motorway roundabout, its been written off, but I wont lose any money as the insurance are going to pay out a little more than the finance agreement

    I tried uploading from photobucket and direct from the pc, but it wouldnt work, so i ended up resizing the pics with a watermark on them.

      Hope your OK R1KSU- looks and sounds very nasty. Heartstopping moment no doubt. Did the ESP kick in

        You haven't even go it straight in the parking bay!

        Sounds like you're ok and you should be ok for a new one.

          Important thing is that you're ok, the car can be replaced. Glad your insurance is being helpful for a change.

                        RIP little yellow guy, you served your master well and protected him from harm when everything went wrong. Good job.

                          Wowsers, that's quite a crash. As everyone's said though, it'd only metal, you're okay which is the main thing. Go get them wheels off it, I'm sure someone on here could do with a spare and you could do with some more moneys towards a new car
