My car accident from last year

Browsing through my album and found a rather haunting picture.

This was my crash from last April. It was rush hour on the M4, and the guy infront of me did an emergency stop. I tried to do a stop too, but a little too late. I hit him, he hit the car infront, domino-style.

I don't have an excuse really, I should have paid more attention. Luckily, I escaped completely unscathed. [hardly felt the impact, I thought I coulda got away with a minor scratch until I stepped out of the car!] Still managed to drive it home.










Looks like a shark took a big bite out of my car.




Insurance covered this fortunately. When we went to the garage to pick it up, the repair bill was £3000 I think. Damn sports bumper. I remember I was in shock for a whole week, lost confidence in my driving.
Reflecting on this a year later, it was a rather expensive lesson learned.

Ahhh-hmmmm.

Oh, car's completely stock as it was when I crashed it. Restored to perfect condition now, more or less like it is in my signature.

Except I have the same spoon sticker stuck on the bonnet above the right headlight (visible in crash picture)
