Just thankful that you are okay MF, it would have been a tragedy and the world a poorer place without youOriginally posted by MarillionFan View Post......all of a sudden the steering locks, the wheel won't turn and I go straight into a wall. Luckily I wasn't going very fast and was able to brake so no real damage. Then I notice that the engine has died!!!
Any ideas?

I would suggest that the biggest point of failure was sat just behind the steering wheel.Originally posted by zeitghostNice single point failure there then.

I'd moved quickly into the back of the car when I sensed the imminent crash. Safer place to be.Originally posted by SupremeSpod View PostI would suggest that the biggest point of failure was sat just behind the steering wheel.

I once crashed a car because I reached through the steering wheel to get my sunglasses which were by the clocks. just as I came to a sharp bend Erk!
Little damage to the car or the farmers hedge as I was only going about 20mph, but hell of an embarrassment as it was only my second date with my wife

She probably thought "This shouldn't last too long, I'll make a killing on the life insurance!"...Originally posted by Diver View PostI once crashed a car because I reached through the steering wheel to get my sunglasses which were by the clocks. just as I came to a sharp bend Erk!
