Just put a little dent on the bonnet, cracked the windscreen with my head, apron is ***ed, light and indicator smashed and the reo bar.. I have fixed most of it already, just short of funds. Okay, I was turning right into a street maybe a little fast, hit a gravel patch on the road, slid up a gutter then took out a light pole. Oh well.

Okay, a little bit of an update, sold the rims, done some work to my car, looks a little better. (miss the rims though) Not too bad considering.. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
