clio up in smoke lol

[big_dave_r]

was traveling home from work on saterday night. pulled off the m18 onto the a1, i put my foot down in third and was just about to change into fourth when. . . . . . BANG!!!!
the car sounded like it was being pelted with stones and when i looked in my rear view mirror i could see sparks and red hot metal bouncing down the motorway allong with a huge amount of smoke. i rolled to a stop at the side of the motoray and the car filled with smoke. :dapprove:
then just to top it off the all of the lights interior and exterior started flashing individualy befor going off all together.

R.I.P clio

its looking that way. hopirng it hasnt come out the back and buggered the gear box. you know its bad when a best case scenario is a new engine lol

 

[.GAZ.]

Sound like you've fucked your gearbox, my Polo GTi done the exact same thing @ 130 lol!

 

[big_dave_r]

i would be over the moon if its just a f**ked gear box lol
rather than a new engine.

 

[big_dave_r]

[Cookson]

The fact all the lights were going mental seems a bit weird. Sounds like its properly gone out in style

 

[saltyhair81]

did it not dump a shed load of oil too?

 

[big_dave_r]

it dumped so much oil that it was spreyed up the back window lol

 

[Cookson]

[big_dave_r]
