How much weight has this saved?
RE: I Park Like A Woman!!!!! - Dum-Dum - 28-10-2012
It could be jigged but it needs a whole new rear panel welding in and the boot floor pulling straight plus a boot and bumper and bodywork to the quarter panels and having it all sprayed. Would cost about a grand to have done properly and its not worth that (well it is but its not sensible when i could get another shell for that, sell the bits off it and swap shinys to make money back)

O assume you will be fitting reversing sensors to your next car??
RE: I Park Like A Woman!!!!! - Ed Doe - 29-10-2012
Bloody hell buddy
Real shame that! I know I gave you some grief over parts of your project, but as with most on here, I was still genuinely interested in where you were going with it!
RE: I Park Like A Woman!!!!! - Kimmie - 29-10-2012
I don't think I know anyone who reverses at 15mph :/ Still gutted for you, as much as I wasn't keen on all the weight-saving, she is gorgeous and
bianca!

This. I can't really see why you would need to be reversing at that speed unless you was messing about? None the less, it was a good looking car!

you really need to try the J turn manouver its so cool in Mc D's carpark and the looks you get could kill
tiz a shitter Dum-Dum but it was only time must have been the longest youve owned a car!
Re: I Park Like A Woman!!!!! - WiNgNuTz - 29-10-2012
The only time I reverse at 15mph is when I'm at work, one customer of mine lives down a long cul-de-sac with nowhere to turn my van round, so I reverse all the way down it.
Bad luck though mate, gutted to see another epic project fall.
RE: I Park Like A Woman!!!!! - Kwik - 29-10-2012
sorry to hear this feel for ya and i never got to see it cause i ain't been at ace for like ever.
RE: I Park Like A Woman!!!!! - Eeyore - 29-10-2012
bad luck! D: Im always worried about doing this. Outisde out house someone had parked with the handbrake off and their car had rolled back into another D:
RE: I Park Like A Woman!!!!! - C.A.R. - 29-10-2012
General rule of thumb is that if you can hear the gearbox whine in reverse then you're going too quick.
However it's also rule of thumb that you slow down if it's pissing it down with rain.
Everyone makes mistakes!
RE: I Park Like A Woman!!!!! - Grant - 29-10-2012
Gutted for you mate, must be so upsetting
But... as said, 15mph in reverse? Seems a little excessive for parking.
Awful lot of damage too for a 15mph collision. I had a van go into the front of me at 20 with less damage than this. Different crumple zones etc i know but you get my drift...
RE: I Park Like A Woman!!!!! - 4WayDiablo - 29-10-2012
Ouch! Not good :-( shame to see another one go :-(
RE: I Park Like A Woman!!!!! - samass - 29-10-2012

Sorry to hear this
RE: I Park Like A Woman!!!!! - Toms306 - 29-10-2012
I think we've missed the point here.........how did Chris know it was 15mph? Guess he was too busy looking at the speedo lol!! I have no idea how quick I go in reverse, might have to look later!
RE: I Park Like A Woman!!!!! - 4WayDiablo - 29-10-2012
Its not hard to have a pretty good guess
I doubt he was staring at his speedo

RE: I Park Like A Woman!!!!! - cully - 29-10-2012
dont think the speedo reads in reverse !
RE: I Park Like A Woman!!!!! - Niall - 29-10-2012
It does cully unless you have one of the old school cable drives.
Re: I Park Like A Woman!!!!! - Alee83 - 29-10-2012
You found a new car as I know of a white Rallye for £1400...?
RE: I Park Like A Woman!!!!! - sam - 29-10-2012
:O ahhh man that's really s*** :'(
RE: I Park Like A Woman!!!!! - Niall - 29-10-2012
Are you sure you did this by JUST reversing into a bollard? Thinking about it, I had someone drive into the back on my 1.8 at 20mph and it did no where near as much damage as that!!
RE: I Park Like A Woman!!!!! - WiNgNuTz - 29-10-2012
The thing with being rear ended (giggidy) by another car is that the impact is spread across the whole width of the car, whereas a bollard is kinda small by comparison, so all the damage is in a condensed area, therefore looks worse than being hit by another car. If you know what i mean.
