Just got off the phone to James only to find out this morning he lost the 5 and rolled it 3 times on his journey to work he is fine and has no injuries but the car is absolutely ruined and he says it will defiantly be a write off. Hope to see you back in a 5 again soon mate
****...... Hope you are ok james!!!!
BAD Times!
Glad he's ok though & it's only a bit of bent French metal!!
Bet he's not thinking that now though
mate, that sucks
**** James, Hope your OK thats really bad luck and not good, hope your back on your feet really soon.
Just spoken to James and he is a luck man, no roll cage, the car is destroyed at the front and back, rolled two or three times and he walked away from it with some bruises and hurt his finger, currently at Brighton A&E getting the once over and no doubt will be on here soon with full account of what happened.
Seen others not so lucky when they have rolled there car with no roll cage so good to hear and speak to James and find he is all in one piece no broken bones.
glad he is ok cars can be replaced, people can't!
on a lighter note he was probably getting bored of it anyway since the engine had been in for more than a couple of weeks ;-)
Was only over his last night tinkering
Glad he is ok though, was only saying to him last night about a bike that had ended up in the ditch up the road
Ouch mate, sorry to hear that, like said aslong as your good that all that matters and we all know how much you enjoy making changes to your cars just need to start again on a new one and enjoy a drive for a few weeks then another engine changes, never dole with your life and a renault 5
Saying that is that engine cursed as the last owned who had that engine in a car also rolled it quite a few times
Bugger dude with a capital BUGGER. At least your not too hurt well that is till the Misses get hold of ya.
But any crash you can walk away from is a good one. lucky the 5 is one big crumple zone.
Much love to ya dude I'll buy you a mojito or two at the next surry meet.
Ouch! Not good to hear mate, gutted
As has been said though - Glad to hear you're not too bashed up.
He'd just sorted something on the rear brakes out, I hope that wasn't the cause
Gutted for you mate
Nasty
At least he's ok.
Glad to hear he is ok.... Lets hope he gets lucky and wins the Phase 1 in the raffle...
christ thats bad news, but glad to hear he has walked away from it the car can be replaced your life cant
Here here it's great he's been able walked away without any injurys good news!Originally Posted by BluntyR5GTT
Nightmare, sorry to hear that James... Glad you're OK tho.
I know how it feels to lose your 5 at the side of the road so know how you're feeling
May the boost be with him again soon.
Think the raffle prize has found a worthy winner hey fellas....
All the best chap...
Sorry to hear that James hope your ok mate. All the best
First Nick, and now James. Lady luck is looking down on rtoc'ers for sure!
Hope you're ok mate. A car can always be replaced...
Just spoken to him & he is a bit battered up (adrenaline wearing off I suppose) but is otherwise ok.
Car is alot worse off, sounds like front end gave way, clipped the grass, kerb & it may have dug in on one corner & gone end over end almost as he said alot of damage to front & rear.... which is prob why he's walking around
Lucky boy in a 5 I reckon
I'll let him fill in the blanks once he gets on.
bad news and good news rolled into one.. shame about the 5 but feck it, your still walking.
Same from the east chap - hope you're up and running again soon. Like everyone else says - it's only a car.
Bloody nora james! ....glad your ok ...as people have said .."u can replace a car ...not a life!"
You lucky mofo
No doubt he will be rocking another 5 in a few months with some sort of boost
Hectic mate hopefully not to beat up, sounds like a fairly big shunt to be walking away from
Cant believe it was just over at his last night with steve, chris and vik swapping over sandwich plates. I have spoken with james and he seems in good spirits now and not in too much pain, bet he aches in the morning thochris must have got too close and jinxed his car as well
No dout james will be in another 5 before we know it
All the best matey
Ouch! Wishing you a speedy recovery, physically and mentally
Glad your ok James!
1 very lucky man, glad you ok
Get well soon James.
Lucky man. I hope your injuries aren't too bad, James
Shame about the car, but good you walked away. Will you start again with another 5?

Glad to hear you are OK. Take it easy for a few days, was in something similar and apart from feeling I had been in a cement mixer, shock is an odd thing.
Sorry to hear about the 5 dude, but atleast you walked away - your a lucky man by the sounds of it
Like I said matey, if you need to store it somewhere to strip it let me know & we'll get it to the yard.Cheers for all the nice comments. Engine I think is salvagable and a few other bits inthe bay and in the car itself exterior wise it doesn't look like a 5. I only looked back at the car once and don't remember seeing any wheels on the car
I will try and get some pics from the scene as my neighbour on way to work saw me and came to see if I was ok they also took pics. I also believe the whole incident was on CCTV aswell so will try get a copy of that but the malloryincident with nick springs to mind.
Ref my injurys I crawled out from the car upside down out of the passenger door as drivers door was crushed. Lucky seat belt was tight was a pain in the arse to get undone upside down and I had to force passenger door open as was stuck and misshapen. Went to a&e only suffered with whiplash type injurys a fr finger and bruising all over feeling really achy today.
Just glad you are ok TBH
Fellas i dont wanna sound all "PC" an wet but....
As you said james seatbelt was a nob to get off....Got one of the above in each of my chariots..
Modern motor or not they are invaluable imop.
Only had to Use one once touch wood...it really saved my arse
Glad to hear your mending fella..
If theres anything i can do to help (know we aint met but your advice an info has been invaluable to me...)
jus shout...
All the very best fella...
Sounds like a big spill. I think sales of roll cages will be on the rise after this thread! Glad you got away with it though
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Kinky...
God dam street racers
**** James, only just seen this, really feel for u m8. Really glad your ok, I expected to read your report and hear it was caused by a cat
