Mine was in the 70's travelling back up the A1, after watching Newcastle getting beat by Man' utd 7-2 and a night of clubbing.

My mate fell asleep at the wheel of his Capri just as we were overtaking an articulated lorry, we went partially underneath the trailer hitting the the wheels at the front.As we came out, the bonnet flew up and the windscreen shattered spraying the inside with glass.Then we headed for the central reservation, no crash barrier in them days.
That's when I started praying for us not to go over to the south bound lane, luckily we manage to stop on the grass.

The car was a write off, the worst injury was a cut nose sustained by the lad in the front passenger seat.When I got out it took me 10 minutes to light a cigarette I was shaking that much.
