Thats not the end of the world mate, you\'ll live to fight another day. Where abouts are you and what are you doing with the totalled bumper.

Looks like your 7 bit you on your arse, you have got to give rear wheel drive cars a bit of respect.
It could have been a lot worse.
I know a good bloke who repairs wheels if your interested. hope you get it sorted soon

i had the same problem...i think i was lucky in that i had the two lanes to skate across...scared the bejesus out of me but gave me good idea of what a rwd car could do without any electronically wizadry in the drive system...
i\'m now starting to enjoy the rear wheel drive system more and more for drifting techniques. hehe

Sorry to say! But such reasons appear to be the most common cause of the REX accidents. :burnout

Gutted for you Gareth.
Quite a different beast to the Scooby isn\'t it.

How about take the opportunity to upgrade the bumper for 1 of your choice, every cloud and all that!

Main thing is you are ok and I\'m guessing you wont do that again :Thumbs-up

All the best with it mate.

You can\'t drive a rex fast without overstepping the mark a few times! I had a similar moment and mine would be scrap too if there hadn\'t been a bus stop to slide into...lucky.

Good luck with the wheel. Its a split rim so you can replace the outer rim section. Image wheels will make you one for a few quid.
