Thanks Alun, everything was peachy up until this, very twisty country roads... I am dismantling the car now. New front end, full chassis job and 5.4 v8d engine coming

From the moment you got it I think I knew something special would be happening to the car.
The only excuse I can give the other driver is he glanced his mirror and at that point you were also in his lane so he/she took the racing line not realising you were coming.
Very naughty all the same.
Almost like a classic back marker overtaking moment!
Looking at your web site, I must write down the details of any roads I find rather than just drive them and move on.
I hope you remember the Gorge du Verdon I did on my Triumph last year, that's a great drivers paradise. thumbup

Very sad Ole cry

But I'm sure you'll get the Griff back in a better condition than it was before that Muppet made you crash mad

Wishing you all the best with it mate yes

Dave.

Such a shame but at least you will get a complete rebuild how did the insurance company view it on who's fought it was, as for Gorge Du Ver Dunn , I have driven that and quite a few others such as Col Du Torini, Route Du Napoleon, Col De Vance, Alp Duez , excuse the spelling butthey are drivers paradise yes
