Well you made a rait mess of that one (thankyou Captain State-the-Obvious)

Whats the story!?!

Edited: Note to self, read post fully, you answered the question already!!!

[Rosc0PColtrane]

Just the visible results of this


coming of axle stands and jack and pinning me to the floor for twenty odd minutes, was trying to remove a stubborn diff .
The non visible injuries included torn shoulder muscles, bruised chest and some very unpleasant flashbacks
at night.

I remember you saying this. I think about it every time I jack up a car.

Rizla packet is 'evidence' there mate!

[Cloud]

To quote Clarkson; that'll buff out.
Seriosly though, looks like the aerial antenna is bent pretty bad. I'm glad you're okay.

[DanThe]

Everything was bent mate, even the floor and roof

[Rosc0PColtrane]

Everything was bent mate, even the floor and roof

and the driver

[Morat]

Christ alive Danthe - thats got to be about as close as you can get...
glad you made it.

Side impacts scare me a lot, I lost a mate at 18 to a side impact that caused a brain haemorrhage.

The worst i got was got a big section of skin burnt of my arm conncted coolant pipes wrong after a engine swap was reaching over the engine checking the pipes because its was start to overheat when one burst sparying boiling coolant/steam over the inside of my arm burnt from wrist to halfway between my elbow and armpit worst was at the inside of the elbow joint were the water blew a little pocket in the skin , took a month of daily bandage changes for it to heal up fortunatly no skin grafts necessary but the skin is still very soft on it 2 years on ,most recent got sunburned tacking up my s50 manifold

No mate, the fact that it was French classifies the injury as self inflicted.

I smacked myself in the face taking off my Tech1 steering wheel and started bleeding freely from the nose. Wish I'd filmed it, could have got £250 easy!

Got a camcorder if you fancy a re run, £125 each ok?

[jimmyspeed]

one hand wasn't enough !

Now that is funny, almost as funny as the time I was dismantling some shelves/cubby holes in a store room at my old job with the manager. The vertical planks mostly needed a tap sideways with a hammer to remove. The horizontal ones mostly needed a bit of persuasion with a hammer from underneath. While "persuading" a particularly stubborn shelf with some blows underneath from a hammer, my manager missed and tw@ed himself on the cheek with the hammer. Had to take him to hospital for 4 stitches. Not E30 related but humurous nonetheless.

hmmm, I'm getting a tec 2 wheel soon, If I put my phone on the dash and film it, it might nearly pay for the new wheel, lol.

No real injuries from an e30, just some grazed knuckles and cuts from working on them. The worst was from gettin but by the sharp guide rails when removing a sunroof:(

I've hit my head off the bonnet guide rails but not as bad as the bonnet falling on top of me.

[GrindCulture]

Also, when doing my engine swap I whacked my head pretty hard on the gearbox while under the car all becuase the fucking dog barked and it made me jump...

[dubmonkey]

Sounds like I got off lightly

Some of the stories are classics fellas

Monkey

[325iSportMark]

This was the culprit...

As has already been said, you did well to live to tell the tale after that.

If you don't mind me asking, where abouts was that? looks really familiar...Wheelock maybe?

[DanThe]

It was in Aldridge

Im just glad I cant remember any of it!

[town325i]

that copper looks pissed off

[DanThe]

that copper looks pissed off

Good

You know my view on police and their uselessness

[Speedtouch]

Was it your head that bent out the driver's door window frame, or was that how they dragged you out?

[DanThe]

Not head, upper body

After the front impact the rear 1/4 hit a lamp post apparently, I got spat down the road and left quite a lot of skin on the tarmac

[blackE30indy]

was taking the starter of the my mates IS when the bonnet fell and hit me on the back of the head,he came back after i finished and he said did the bonnet stay up as i normally prop it up with something ,yea thanks for telling me MATE
INDY

[Felix79]

that crashed e30 has made me decide to get a more modern bmw for my daily runner.

[GrindCulture]

Scary isn't it...

[secondtimelucky]

So this is where the whoring continues then

Just to stay on topic: NEVER USE A BMW JACK!!! i was changing a wheel when i had my touring, the jack collapsed and fired itself into my legs took me clean off my feet still got the scars to prove it too
