Exactly right, whole point was to avoid that sort of issue...

Trying to keep calm at the moment. But I'm f*cking pissed. First time it's had work done by a shop in pretty much ever.

Their insurance will be paying. Got one quote but the mechanic has requested a second.

Quarter is stuffed, door is damaged, bonnet needs a spray, front bar is stuffed, can't remember what else. Think they said brake rotor (landed on that), rim is all scored up on the inside, swabar bracket bent, wheel studs stripped etc etc

I didn't get a pic from the front when it was on the ground. There's already a jack under it in all the pics except the first, which was taken by me in front passenger seat when it happened. Had to climb out the back door.

I bet you're pissed!  Got every right to be.  Could have killed you.  

 

Don't put up with dodgy resprays either.  I did on mine because I got tired of waiting to have the car.

Im just glad that I knew it was wrong immediately and stopped. If I continued down the street it could be a very different story at 50kmh instead of 5kmh

The ball joint that started it all. First slight noise I noticed was 5 days ago. It got significantly worse over the week and approx 350kms until now. This has only been on the car 6months.

Ouch that really sucks man and I hope they do a really good job at repairing your car!

 

I had a part of my tailshaft snap when I gave my new BF WOT and was lucky it happened at 40kmh instead of high speed.

 

Nice car by the way.
