It took two speeding tickets

Post by nigecapri »

to slow me down a bit & that was when I was 19 - But that's one hell-of-a-way to learn a lesson! Thankfully the only bit of Dean that's damaged is his N.C.B.
At least when he gets his confidence back he'll be a bit more mindfull of what happens when you push too far & hopefully he'll be a better driver for it eh.

WTF??? What a lucky escape!

Dean is so lucky to have walked away from that unsctatched, especially with the metal fence going through the car.

Condolances for the car, but on a plus point it saved Dean's live being a strong shell.

Really sorry to see the end result.

Chin up Dean.

All the best Matty28i

****ing hell dean!!

And i thought i'd had bad luck not being able to drive mine for 2 weeks! really puts things into perspective. Like everyones saying clearly the most important thing is that your ok, so many aren't so keep your head up ey :)

and on the otherside of things: Obviously your main concern right now is getting another capri to beat me with again at under 21's, but no fear, you could bring your poor little crumpled beast on a trailor and still beat me cos i'm not under 21 anymore. Theres always a positive thing to be found in a ****ty situation.

..who was at CoCk picking up glass in the social club and cutting his fingers loads, so every time he reached down for another spinnacle of glass, he'd leave loads of blood on the carpet! Was hilarious.
