Stuffed the Chim

[vixpy1]

Skidded approaching a roundabout and whacked and mounted the kerb in guildford this morning, result is a bent wishbone and damage to the underneath of the nose cone..

[hut49]

That's tough luck, on Christmas day, of all days - hope the rescue services didn't add to your woe with the obvious gag of "you should've stuffed the bird, not the Chim!". Hope you're back on the road soon.

I stuffed the turkey, guess it's also crap on roundabouts
Hope the damage to the car's minor. You should see my turkey, it's really bad! Wishbone snapped in two.

Ouch - at least it does not sound that bad - not the same as having all that scooby grip!

See ya soon no doubt. Jon

[seasider]

Your not having the best of luck mate, was hoping to see you tomorrow.


Hope you managed to stuff something else as well

[Tripps]

Bad luck Charlie, but at least you're OK, just bruised pride to recover from now.

Hope the quotes for fixing it are OK.

Unlucky mate

Careful out there everyone...

Sorry to hear that Charlie. Hope that the damage wasn't too bad and it doesn't cost too much to fix.

Bad luck Charlie. Doesn't sound like you're having a great start to TVR ownership.

Still, look on the bright side. At least with the Tiv off the road, you're saving a fortune in petrol

Charlie, very sorry to hear that. Why do you think it happened? One of the Cerb owners had a similar experience on some spilt diesel the other day. Didn't crash but 360'd the car. Next day someone else had planted it in the barrier at the same spot. At the time he just thought it was part of the unique 'cerbera handling experience'. In the daylight he could see the exon valdise trail.

I'm not sure what happened really, think i may have hit a dip in the road.. did'nt brake very hard, the wheels suddenly locked and the back went to the right.. and i went straight into the Kerb..

Could have hit something slippery or maybe some ice i guess.

The one outside the police station

I don't really know what happened, it was my mistake, but i was a bit hungover.. I was'nt going that fast and was a fair old way from the roundabout, just pressed the braked peddle and it all went a bit mental.

Thanks for helping me out on the phone
