I was testing my new hydraulics, linky, turns out they were a little on the powerful side
there goes my driving career.
1. cant afford a new car
2. cant afford the astronomical insurance
3. cant trust myself to drive anymore
I'm fine, just crawled out the back

I'm guessing lost it round the bend, across the road, over correct & back onto your side of the road, up the kerb, into the hedge, roll and
rest.
Mate did something similar on a dry road with me as a passenger (except he was driving like a knob and couldn't blame the wet road / wind). Ours
ended up a little worse than yours.
As others have said - you're in one piece (assuming from the photos) so that's the important bit. Metal can be pulled out / welded /
replaced.

hole in one, the overcorrection was a result of trying to avoid someone in the other lane. I decided hedge was a better option.
police have been fully informed, not rang insurance yet but ive got nothing to hide.
I wasnt speeding, but got caught out on the wet poor road surface, end came round a little and that was it.
Stupid stupid stupid.

give a couple of days and you'll be back to normal, a couple of weeks and you'll be laughing at it in the pub.
we all make mistakes ...but there seems to be a spate of accidents of late.

lol steve, if i cant drive a tired 1.9 im not going to be able to pull off driving a mi16 tricked out 205 in a million years.
does anyone know about insurance? is it worth not claiming? i dont need the car for work, i commute on the train.. i have my cars purely for weekend
toys.

If no one else was involved you dont need to tell the insurance company, buy another 205 use bits from yours and just change the insurance over

I am NOT an insurance expert, but as far as I can recall, if nothing/no one else was involved, and no damage done to roads lamp posts etc, then
whether you claim or not is down to you....
