just crashed my car  only had it 2 weeks aswell. front end is nackered.
ran into back of a woman in a new golf when she stopped for zebra crossing, i wasnt speeding because i had just come out of a speed camera, i admit i musnt have been paying attention though, ribs hurt abit at first but, wish i could say same for car
PICS - doesnt look as bad as it actually is, iv been told the chassy arm or sumthing might be bent, which isnt good is it?
all that happend to the other car was about 3 tiny scratches.
will get better pics tomorrow, theres quite a few bent and broken things what arnt that easy to see.

hopefully, she seemed sound about it, she was more concerned about if i was ok or not,(must be because shes a nurse), she even rang up later on last night to see how i was doing lol. her car was already booked in for the rear doing from the previous accident.
