E30 Zone

Been meaning to put these up for a while....just to prove bald tyres and slippery roads dont mix

at accident scene:





once i got my baby home:














Me and the girlfriend walked away from this without a scratch!!

i done this in may this year and it still gives me the shakes when i look at these pictures

Glad you both walked away mate, I have also teted how strong they are and am glad I choose an E30

fook me mate you both are so lucky.
shocking pictures
this should be a lesson to all drivers-TAKE CARE
Glad you and your missus walked away ok

the tyres dont look very bald to me, and not the best way to check for rust on the underside.

Here we have the BMW E30 in its natural habitat, at one with nature a wild beast only to be tamed by the few skilled homo-sapians....

Nae luck pal looks a nice brief, bet your more cautious driving now. Just make sure you learn a lesson from it. Im glad that your ok.

Just wondering why you bothered to take it home ? it's fuked

thanks for all the comments,

some of the tyres were baldish, more noticeably the rear ones, the close up of the tyre was not to show tread depth but the snapped alloy that it sits on, the only reason i took it home was because i live in rural scotland and it took me a few days to find a scrapyard that would take it, i would have left it in the tree till then but the rozzers told me to move it ASAP.

ROFLMFAO @ BMW E30 in its natural habitat

and yes i do drive more carefully A LOT MORE!! I just got my hands on a 325i been taking it easy on the rural roads, i love my new car and dont want to damage it in the slightest never mind do a crash landing into a tree

Glad you walked away OK...

Did you keep the exhaust? probably the only thing worth keeping by the looks of it!

1 less iS on the roads....

Unfortunately i didnt have time\tools\effort to get the exhaust off, i was stripping my most loved posession on my birthday
If i had know how rare the is's are i probably wouldnt have been such a 7WA7

Oh well you learn from your mistakes as they say!!

Well, as your OK (and Scotish) i'll take the piss now.

Bald tyres give better grip on dry roads (slicks) so i guess you just can't drive
because in the pic's the grass is dry and no don't bother to re-post and come out with some jackanory about trying to avoid a lamb in the road.

ho ho ho

well the thing is.....now dont laugh, the car had just went through the car wash at tescos and this was a few minutes later.... what an excuse
But i have to admit my driving was to blame aswell, i came across a slight corner which had a hump on the apex which shifted the whole back end of the car, mix that with me in the wrong gear and revving a little to high and the back wheels started to spin, spun me ar$e-afore-headthen we slipped of the banking sideways, hit the rocks at the bottom of the drop which promptly bounced us upside down into a tree.

Forgot to mention that some twocers nicked the face of me stereo while it was still upside down in the tree, dont suppose they can use it for anything as they are all coded anyway???

aahhh
The lure of the open roads.
It's much more fun crashing in town you don't fall off the road you just hit parked cars

yeah well up here away in the stix us scottish folk have to drive for hours just to find a town

I dont think i would like to crash in town, just imagine all those insurance claims!!

At least when you come off a rural road you might take out the odd fence.....wall.....sheep......TREE.... but no insurance job needed!
