It was my company car, and it was a real pleasure to be able to meet Rob at Stafford on Monday evening. Accidents happen, and thankfully, no one was injured apart from pride. It will be as good as new in a few days and will be an absolute bargain for someone to buy. Lumbar support on the drivers seat, heated front seats, full main dealer service history, all recalls done. Thanks for being so complementary to me and Clare Rob.

Back in 1973 I was 19 and working at my dad's petrol station/garage in Putney he let me collect my mum's brand new Triumph Herald convertible from the steroe radio installers in the King's Road Chelsea about 10 minutes drive away. The car had done about 15 miles, and my mum hadn't even seen it as it was a present for her. I collected the car and pulled out into a completely clear road (or so I thought) only to have a fully laden dump truck of earth and rocks drive over the front of the car. It completely flattened the bonnet, engine, wheels, the whole front half of the car, the Herald was a complete write-off and I also did £3,500 damage to the lorry....oops, at least no-one hurt, except my pride and I didn't live it down for many years. These things happen it's part of life.

Magic! Rob, I know just how feel. Just had a guy park his Vito van on my drive while he picked up one of my drum kits. He parked right by house, just inches away from the wall. We then had a great chat about cars and motorbikes we had over the years. Went to load the drum kit and we discovered the van had moved 5 feet down the drive. He had parked on crusty snow. Luckily it slid slowly, not so dramatic as yours but what a lesson. You and Chris, what a team!

Guys, great video and appreciate the honesty! If it makes you feel any better, I used to work for a Ford Main dealer back in the 1980's. We had a transporter deliver 6 brand new Y Reg Sierras for our Sierra Launch night. As they were unloaded off the transporter, we had to take them round the back of the workshops for a PDI before we put them in the showroom. I jumped in a 2.0Ghia in Diamond White, and thought what a fabulous car. Stuck it in reverse, straight back into the Car Rental Reception door and knocked it off its hinges! It can happen to anyone! :-(

Rob either got too comfortable as a typical BMW driver and didn't check the mirrors or was so fed up with the wall he wanted shut there and then, don't believe all this accidents happen rubbish! Just kidding, this is a perfect example of why we love the channel. You're honest and put in the mishaps too, it's awesome to see you do well and win on everything when it all goes smoothly but it can't work like that 100% of the time. I live on a bit of a hill and always have 25kg or so grit to chuck about the drive/pavement outside when it gets a bit icy, a pain in the arse walking bits in the house but stops things like this or slipping over on foot. Looks much better with the spoiler on the back someone's gonna have a lovely motor there that's been well loved.

Mate, I totally feel you on this. I had the most pathetic crash some years ago in similar weather. I had a 2.0 Mondeo Estate at the time, fully loaded with band gear (amps, etc). I was driving around the estate, complete ice on the roads, less than 10mph. At some point, I didn't realise there was a road hump, thought it was a bit further up but it was completely obscured with snow and ice. It just happened to be where the road curved round but that caused all traction to just disappear. Whatever traction I did have going at a snails pace, just went. There was nothing I could do at all. No response from steering, accelerator, brakes, no nothing, I just glided at a snails pace into this house's big cast iron gates. There was a good 5-6 seconds where I was just watching it happen. The car was alright, guy came out of the house and was cool, just exchanged details. As he was writing down, a BMW appeared and did the exact same thing and went headfirst into my door. So even though my car was totally undamaged, 3 minutes later it was making friends with a BMW. Exact same thing, lost traction over the speed hump and that was it. Turned it into a big ol' insurance job. I have a petrol automatic Focus now, managed to get it nearish home a few days ago when the snow first stared, I've just left it sat where it is. It's about a 5 minute walk away but it's parked and it can stay there for a few days. I'm not risking trying to drag it around my road as it is still totally like an ice rink. Not to labour the point, I'm current sat looking out my front window watching my neighbour trying to get his Astra moving and it's not having it. Sometimes people will be all jack the lad, saying how there's a million things you could have done, or how they would have done it better and what not. Yeah, when you lose traction at any speed in this weather, there's not a lot to be done really. I had it too after my incident above, loads of types trying to tell me how to recover it. Mate, when the car controls are doing nothing and you have 2-3 seconds to decide that fact, there's not a lot to be done. Sorry to see the state of the car now, but c'est la vie. At least it wasn't on a motorway meeting the business end of a truck or something. It's a wall and a boot lid, you'll laugh about it and tell cautionary tales next time we get a bad spell and that's that.

Rob, I feel your pain. A couple of years ago, I spun my E36 on some ice on an untreated road and hit a dry stone wall (no traction control). Unfortunately, the damage was a bit more than yours. I have recently traded it in for a 2009 Mercedes W204 C200. Respect to you for fessing up to this. It speaks volumes about your honesty and integrity. At least you saved money on demolishing the wall that you hated so that's one positive you can take from it.

To be honest you had the best type of accident, no insurers involved, no paperwork and mostly an easy fix. I guess I have done about a million miles, the one time I was totally out of control in a car on ice has made me realise how sometimes that sometimes there is literally nothing you can do. My car literally was stationary and started to slide downhill with all wheels locked. I was lucky thanks to plastic bumpers, great to see you guys laughing and getting on with things. In my house my wife has a full forensic investigation if I leave the hot tap dripping, glad it was not me in the BMW.

Ever get the feeling it's going to be a right ''B'' of a winter. Thanks again fella's.

Well done Rob, you've made me feel much better, I picked a new (to me) motorhome up and a couple of days later managed to try and demolish my drive wall with it! Oh well, that's life!

At least you are okay, these things happen and it could have been worse. Love Chris being pragmatic - "the best place ya could have hit it", that's the right mentality! Car will be grand in no time

Hi, As a good friend of mine would say "So what about the car it can be repaired and no one was hurt is the main thing". On another note it was your own wall and not someone else wall and you got the new boot lid cheap as well, Also you now have a wider drive entrance. Keep up the good work.

Have a great big hug. It was an accident. Not stupidity like dopey here who got a new to me car, parked it next to a bollard (in a seaside car park) which was beneath the eye line. Struggled to get in and out of car, so I bloody knew it was there. Didn't stop me sitting in car later. Watched boats, turned on engine, went to pull out drive straight into bleeping bollard. Silver lining, beautiful new wall. Never know might get a deal from a subscriber. X

Like you said getting stressed over it doesn’t change things, you just move on. Looking on the bright side at least it wasn’t the Gallardo!! Best wishes to you both.

Honestly Rob, fair play to you for putting it in, shows how honest you both are, and at the end of the day we are all human. Accidents happens mate and luckily it’s not too bad. This just makes me love this channel even more.

1989, pulled out of the driveway in my Mk1 escort, slid on the ice and😮 went into my work van, mk 2 transit lwb high roof twin axel. Chucked into reverse and went back into my parents Passat. 3 damaged in less than a minute. I think I win. Don’t sweat Rob. And just to put it out there somewhere Peter Stevens 13.10.40 - 15.12.22. ❤️

Gutted for you Rob, it's safe to say most of us would have been there. The pain will fade and you have bought a smashing looking car, no pun intended. On to the next one.

Rob, it's a car and can be easily repaired, think most of us that watch your videos are just glad you're safe and well and haven't damaged yourself!! ....And who better than your good selves to get it repaired!...Easy, and no stress mate 💪💪

Reality bites Rob, chin up mate and don’t get the hump about it. We’ve all been there and it happens to the best of us. Respect for uploading and holding your hands up to the gaff, buts let’s face it, we’re not gonna let a little knock like that isn’t gonna put you off your stride. Take it on the chin and move on to the next one. Love your positivity and optimism. Keep the videos coming lads.

Oh Rob! Don’t stress it, as Chris said these things happen and could have been a lot worse. Showed my wife who back in 98 reversed my new Vectra CDX company car into her mothers garden wall. It happens and was a great video to watch

This phenomena is known as ""KZfaq Karma" as the site is called "Salvage Rebuilds" then there has to be a rebuild of some sort ! I did suggest to Chris at the NEC that we crash our 1939 loan car so that you guys can rebuild it, he quite rightly thought that was a daft idea! Thanks for a really entertaining channel all the best. Dave
