Grand Turismo Smash M23/A23 today 16th July

[Lordbenny]

Pulled of the M25 to go Northbound onto the A23 towards Coulsdon today. As the M25 slip road bends round to the left and joins the M23/A23 there is an ideal opportunity to give a car a bit of welly. It seems that this particular white Grand Turismo mis-judged the conditions today (it was pissing down!). The car has hit and flown over the armco and looked in a bad way. Hope the occupants are ok.

Did it have solid gold valve caps?

Oops, dont know why I added an extra d!

Saw this too!

Couldn't figure out whether they had been travelling north or south bound, as both sides of armco were wrecked

There are a few areas around the M25/M23/A23 interchange where water seems to stand even in quite light rain. Tempting as it is, I always hold back in damp/ wet conditions as accidents are not that rare. Coming from the M25 West onto the M23 North in the dry is another matter

I assume the driver was not familiar with the area, hope there was no damage to the driver/ passengers.

There was a white GT parked up in Cowfold Saturday morning (as I passed on the way to the cafe, as you do). Must be a local car as I saw the reg number (V8 0 BYE) on a white R8 in Horsham last summer. Wonder if it's the same one?

I love that bend!

[Fatsterjack]

I have to say that I too find 'that bend' a good measure of how far you want to push things...... in the dry.

As a new owner of a GTS I certainly won't be pressing on through there until I know the car's capabilities.
