That gate could easily have been another car, or even someone out for a walk. No matter how many times you drive a road, or how familiar you think you are with it, the unexpected can & does happen. You got away lightly this time & the Dyane is gonna be repairable, next time you might not be so lucky... _________________ www.international2cvfriends.com Back to top TONY ENGLAND Lowered Joined: 09 Aug 2007 Posts: 742 Location: MALDON, ENGLAND, UK Posted: Thu Jan 24, 2008 7:38 pm    Post subject: I agree, theres a time and a place for everything and racing on the road only leads to death and damage eventually. I went to a Road Traffic Collision the other day where two guys were racing. One overtook a slower moving car, but as his friend did the same he crashed into a cyclist coming the other way and KILLED HIM. The cyclists bike was thrown 300metres into a field due to the impact . BOTH OF THE DRIVERS WERE ARRESTED AND CHARGED WITH DEATH BY DANGEROUS DRIVING. (thats prison in this country) . DRIVE SAFE GUYS, ITS NOT ALWAYS YOUR FAULT!!!! _________________ If it works ok, "LEAVE IT THE FUCK ALONE".
