Not my Omega but my cousin's Mazda 6.

We got rammed from behind and then spun into a rock face on a twisty descent by an older driver because one of his false legs 'fell off the brake'.

All 4 corners crumpled, fluid on the road, wife holding her neck, toddlers screaming in their car seats.

The day got better after that when two fire engines, two police cars and an ambulance turned up and lots of men and women in uniform made a big fuss of the toddlers.
Ouch :o glad you're all ok though... ;)

On the bright side, there's one less Mazda in the world ::)
How did the rusty parts hold up? :D

Cleaned and fed the leather seats. Only a little job, but one more to cross off the list.

Had bits of M3 that I was chasing down disintegrate into the front of me.

Loaded up the Mondeo Estate with lots of rubbish from the garage, and went to the tip feeling very smug. Drove home and emptied the rubbish back into the garage! >:( >:( >:(
The tip is closed for ten days for re-design or some such. >:( >:(
I'd like to say how much I enjoyed my afternoon. :-X :-X :-X

Perhaps it was another of the I6 M3s with the self ejecting conrods?
