On the purchasing date of my coupe...5 years later... The coupe no longer lives.

We were in a pretty traumatic accident... But she was tough and did me well...

I'm now terrified of cars - including the coupe so will not be driving for a very long time! Was lovely knowing you on here, and thanks for your knowledge on these cars =]

Glad your ok.

Too combat your fear of driving the quicker you get behind the wheel again the easier it will be.

Heck, bad luck frown But you survive - priorities are no.1.

Agree with above, try to get yourself back behind a wheel asap.

Sorry to hear what's happened Rachael frown

Hope your injuries aren't too bad and that you recover soon.

Hopefully, you'll be able to get in and drive a car again one day, even if it's not a Coupe.

Glad the Coupe did well in protecting you from the worst.

The whole experience has been pants if I'm honest..

Pretty substantial injuries...

I was resuscitated on scene, and again in ambulance.
Have a fractured skull, eye socket, neck, spin and ribs. And also alot
Of tissue loss on my head - on my4th lot of surgery Tuesday!

Guess someone was looking over me that night! But needless to say I shan't be getting back in a coupe soon... frown

*Ouch*.

That looks like the car decelerated while it was upside down.

As one who has had similar injuries, if it would help to talk then feel free to pm... one thing - be prepared for a long convalescence, particularly with spinal damage.

Yes, noted the kid's seat too, guess it was unoccupied at the time thank goodness. Ok it'll be a long haul but take up Barnacle's offer, he knows the answer to bloody everything bow laugh

Keep us posted on here, this forum has a back broad enough you could land a plane on smile If you don't, expect knocks on the door at 0600 hrs laugh

Wow, scary photos for any coupe driver!! ooo I was particularly shocked when I saw the baby seat, being a parent myself and having the backseat for my boys!...

Glad you're still alive. Just think about getting well, for now. Best wishes!
