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'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!
