shit dude what happend ?

gutted for you mate i loved this car..
Brand new 8" wide yokohama parada's and a wet corner Icon_sad oh yeah and i slightly took out a parked up transit van and i escort at the same time Zip-it
As much as I hate the BMW hatch-back, it still pains me to see a car smashed up. I'm guessing you're ok if you're posting.
seen this is at dixon car clinic last wednesday , asked matty what happened, thats shit dude you getting a full payout?
Shame bud

Was a nice car.

Whats next then ?
Thats why i never had prada's again.

I always stand by Spec2's are shit in the rain. Did this cause the accident, no traction or something? looks quite bad man.
the tires must be shit if he lost it in a 30mph zone "if" he was doing 30?
You stripping the bits off it incase you buy another one?

They really are shit mate. i was doing national speed, slight bend and my car went straight to the kurb, and that was on a wet road, but not raining.

Very poor tyre in my opinion.

Proxie4's in the rain and dry have to be the best ive used.

Trust me they aint shit chaps ive had worse on my scooby an theyre a lot better than the older yokes, just admit it ya fucked up on a greasy road-its so easy to blame tyres but at the end of the day if ya drive the same in the wet as ya do in the dry-expect shit to happen sometimes-its inevitable.

Unless ya gonna buy summat like f1`s which are about the best(imo)in the wet then the majority of tyres arent great in the wet-depends what ya buyin em for-personally love paradas in the dry so will stick with em-dont do racing in the wet so not an issue for me-its a mugs game sooner or later everyone fucks up-learn from it is my best advice even if ya were doin 30.
yeah it wasnt really the tyres fault.. if i had been going slower then wouldnt have happend but the back end lost traction with no warning so took me by surprise...
already stripped it and got a garage full of bits! went on the prowl for a different one yesturday, not sure wether to go for one like mine or spunk the best part of 24k on a brand new 211bhp works....

Lots of nice cars for £24k chap-no offence (as i did like ya mini)but at that kinda money wouldnt make my shortlist.
