Comin home today I slid on some ice goin round a corner managed to regain some control and swerve away from the wall I was heading to but still hit the curb and it's pretty much ripped the driverside wheel off :|
I was only going about 10mph

Poor Oli. :(
Is it fixable, sounds like a pretty expensive repair? :(
It's such a bad time of year (with christmas and everything) to crash a car. I hope you are ok, and not too shaken by it. I was shaking when I crashed mine. :'(

Unlucky, bad time of year to crash. Then again, bad weather to be driving. Should deffinately try and avoid it.
At least you didn't hit that wall though.

I did that last winter. I didn't have my snow tires on and I slid into the ditch and ****** up the lower portion of my passenger side doors and my rocker panels. I was thankful it wasn't bad enough to deploy the airbags.

Shouldn't be that much to fix, the body work (if any) is going to be the expensive part.
If you didn't hurt the axle, most likely you'll end up replacing the brake rotor, hub, maybe wheel.
My whole wheel/tire got ripped off about a month ago.. and I just had to replace brake rotor and hub (wheel bearing).
Where i'm from in the UK we've managed to avoid most ice and snow.. i find it hard enough to drive in the conditions where i am now.. hope it doesnt get any worse.
I remember when i crashed my car, rolled back into a caravan attempting a ridicolous 8 point turn.. grrr.

I just buckled the wheel.
New wheel from the scrapyard and it's all set to go.
I'm so happy it didn't cost a fortune.

I did a similar thing to that (prior to writing the thing off completely), but my tyre was just dented a tiny bit. Was dead surprised at the lack of damage though. What car is yours???

A disgusting fiat siecento, i'd quite happily write it off if it wasn't for the money :P

Yeah I have absolutely no money so i'm so glad it's something as minor as a wheel :D
Aww that is bad times, hope you're alright lovely. x
I was a bit shaken as it was the first time i've ever lost control of my car :P but other than that I was all fine, thanks :) xx
