cainchapman 0 Report post Posted February 22, 2009 I was the only occupant. I am fine. Thanks. I chose to hit the side of the off ramp as the other option was a Dukes of Hazard entry down into the train station 10m below. Testament to the strength of a BMW (and an old one too), that was a 100kph head on into the wall. I haven't even got a bruise. And I'll wait until the insurance has been sorted before I comment any further on here. Lucky, I've got more cars. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
