Hope they give the witness 3 points aswell then....

Not good mate, hopefully the police wont be prosecuting you or anything.

**SCHWARTZ** · 02-09-2011, 19:26

get that witness done for speeding like penfold says then get his address and go round there

I was very very lucky and I have thought so many times about what if one of the kids was in the car and it scares me so much to think of it

. Roll cages are a defo in a 5 and I am so lucky no one else was involved in the incident please everyone be careful I don't want the same happening to anyone else. This is my first crash in a 5 since I got my license in 1998 and I have had a 5 since then and I am very very shaken by the incident.

**5teve L** · 02-09-2011, 19:54

Bloody Hell, hope your ok and get back on the road soon.

**philg** · 03-09-2011, 08:52

God, that does not look good. Like everyone is saying, it could have been worse

**5teve L** · 10-09-2011, 17:55

Well John & I picked James' car up earlier with the flatbed, mission or what to get it off

Tied it to my bros little mitzi pinin & drove the flatbed forward, then the flatbed was spinning, then we got my brothers sj on it with the winch as well, in the end we had to tie the 5 to the pinin with me foot on brakes, my brother winching the flat bed out at the same time to drop it off the back down the ramps

I reckon James was a lucky boy, here are some pics..

**R5TURBORON** · 10-09-2011, 18:06

He is a very lucky man. Dont forget to get the private plate taken off the car while it still has MOT

**Markey Mark (BD)** · 10-09-2011, 18:06

**Rinzler** · 10-09-2011, 18:07

Blimey - lucky to be here.. shame on the car - but it can be replaced

Good work fella
