    ouch mate. where your legs trapped then. any broken bones? I ended up in grantham hospital after my brakes failed on my 205gti. luckily i only had cuts and bruises. although the one from the corner of my mouth across my cheek took ages to heal. it was a bar steward eating and when your mates try and make you laugh!
