Hmm Shame I've got no pictures but in my younger days I was a bit erm.. reckless
Mk1 Escort - Ran into the back of a Renault 5 whilst being distracted by totty.
Welded on new slam panel and new radiator
Mk1 Escort - Smashed it head on into a Ford Sierra whilst avoiding a puddle on a bend
End of Mk1....
Mini 1000 - T boned a Nissan Micra that pulled out of a T-junction on me (but I was speeding)
End of Mini....
Nissan Sunny - Rear ended a parked Ford Capri (speeding again and locked up on a bend)
End of Nissan...
Metro 1300 - Drove into my own god damn shed having replaced the brake pads but not pumped the pedal back up before driving it.
New Slam panel, headlight, flitch panel and bonnet.
Astra 1300 Van - Mates car... Cogged second gear instead of 4th, cue the breakage of all rocker shafts.
Landrover V6 - Got it stuck in the middle of the night somewhere I shouldn't have been, and didn't have any recovery equipment. Used maximum revs and maximum reverse > first shunt manoeuvre to get it out.. I did, but in doing so over revved it and knocked the big ends out.
Rebuild No2 after cooking head gaskets previously.
Landrover V6 - Off roading over mounds of rubble on a track, went over one pile too fast, took off and landed truck on it's nose. cue bent chassis legs. (cut off and welded on new ones)
Landrover V6 - Off roading at speed, hit a hidden tree stump in a puddle and ripped off the front right wheel, hub, brake drum and steering knuckle. (at 3am 50 miles from my workshop) - cue leaving landrover stranded while going home, repairing stub axle and bringing it back out, bolting it on the truck, getting it unstuck and getting it home before daylight. Long day was long!
106 Rallye - Took car park entrance ramp at high speed, took off, landed on rear suspension heavily and bent subframe and boot floor - Part ex'd for newer model 106 Rallye
306 Roadster - Fiitted 150BHP Nitrous kit, melted engine 3 times before getting bored of rebuilding it, sold car.
I think that covers it.

Brilliant! - Your a one-man breakers yard!
Fiat Panda, ruined when the rust in the fire wall made the pedal box fall out, I wasn't driving at the time.
Renault 5, my own fault, stacked it into a stationary car whilst playing with the stereo.
My luckiest escape ever (and for two of my friends), my Citroen Ax 1.4D. Driving too fast in bad weather, went round a corner, lost control and hit a wall which flipped the car. I don't remember any of it as i knocked myself out on the steering wheel.
