Written my car off......sorry everyone!

[BigBazza]

Last night I wrote my Cerbera off in a big way. Both me and my passenger are shaken but otherwise uninjured. The car is totalled, back end/front end everything is gone. The passenger compartment is untouched, my pedals didn't even move, both doors still open and shut and all the glass remained intact despite demolishing 2 gates with concrete gateposts, 30ft of hedge and a fairly substantial tree.
I am now more in awe of that car than ever and I wish you all the best for the future.
I will still be popping in to see you all but time for me to calm down a bit now I think and think of my children.

At least YOU are OK though.........

[GCerbera]

Sorry to hear the news Barry but certainly glad everyone is ok.

A stern reminder to us all.

Sorry to hear about the car Bazz, but glad to hear your o.k..

I had a close escape in mine & it slowed me down somewhat.

I guess the Saab is on order....

Good luck & all the best mate, Russell.

how did it happen....

[BigBazza]

Was taking her for a spin with my 18yr old Canadian Cousin, we came over a rise on an unfamiliar road...not going particularly fast...there was a farm track with gravel spreading across the road, I felt the back end twitch then she went the other way and bang...hit the first gatepost which spun us the other way and up and over a hedge facing backwards....I don't remember much after the 1st bang until we were sat still with ignition beeper going off...I couldn;t bring myself to look across as I thought I had killed my cousin then he asked if i was Ok and I realised he was Ok....then pulled the door release and climbed out over the roof

[gbbird]

Sorry to hear this, but at least you and passenger are both OK.

To echo another post - how did it happen? Perhaps there is something we can all learn from this?

You'd just got it back from a light conversion too hadn't you?

Glad you're both ok, cars can be replaced.

Jeez Barry.........so glad you are both okay......

I know it's totalled, but it sounds like the Cerb did a good job of protecting you both.......

Yep, got her back on Weds last week, she looked stunning, and I mean STUNNING not so now....going to bodyshop to take some photos in a minute....can anyone tell me how to post them on here?

[BigBazza]

He actually races old Camaros in demolition derbies over there and when I just kept telling him how sorry I was he said "Oh its ok man, I do this kinda stuff for fun!" How cool is that? lol

If you don't have a host server, email them to me and I'll put them up for you.

[tvrjohn]

Barry, i'm shocked to hear your news
Even more pleased to read you and your passenger are ok.
Always thought the cerb is the strongest TVR
full roll cage, door bars etc.

[BigBazza]

Thanks John, I'd just been explaining to him about the roll cage 2 mins before this happened...amazing!
I'll probably still come next weds and bring the photos if its not too morbid!!

[jacko lah]

You're just a Chav really ain't ya.

Showing off in a flash car ? Driving too fast ? Ah well glad nothings broken (that matters)

[kojak69]

F**kin *ell Barry.

What can I say, except glad you are both ok.

You've certainly had your 'ups and downs' with the cerbera havent you. What with all the probs at first, and now this.

[SI-PEN]

Yes Barry, The young lady must have been very scared and probably won't get in a car with you again!

Listening to you guys gassing about this one does bring it home alot, as this is your worst nightmere, but aleast you have a happy ending as you were both OK and only shook-up! (although thats bad enough)

I may think twice next time before going a little silly, just to show off.

Good to hear you are both OK though, but sorry about the car.

[davidd]

Ouch, sorry and glad you are ok.

Can we see some pictures (he said in a morbid manner)?

D
