was driving down the m4 slip road at junction 12 in the wet, not driving excessivly, actually quite the opposite, when the back end kicked out one way, and the then the opposite into a spin, and went straight into the crash barrier on the side, and has taken the complete drivers side of the front out, and put several cracks into the rear

now waiting upon insurance company, am begging them not to send my t350 to TVR heaven.

been told by Racing Green, IF the car is fixed wont see her till end of feb, already missing it and its only been 2 days

Ah st mate - you've only had her a month or so haven't you?
Any idea why she stepped out? Standing water and worn tyres are often a big culprit.

i havent got a clue why she stepped out,only thing i can think of was it was late and cold,so with the chill on the wet road might have just caught a dodgy patch. she got round the corner fine, and as the corner straightend out, i was changing lanes and the back just went completly,
didnt even get to the motorway as happened half way down the slip road,
not sure how to post a pic on here.

How can you lot drive a car that seems, judging by the evidence of the last few days, to want to kill you for no reason at all in a straight line when you're not "on it..."?

yikes

It's part of the attraction wink

Carl - sorry to hear that mate - hopefully the insurance will sort it out for you. Usual statements apply: main thing is that you're OK, cars can be fixed etc. etc. - doesn't make it easier at the moment but in time you'll realise it's true.

Chin up!

Could have hit the white lines, they can be very slippy, back end loses traction and it becomes a merry-go-round.

thats what racing green suggested to me aswell, but to be honest i havent got a clue.

these cars are amazing to drive, and they are a proper drivers car,with no drivers aids, i think this is one of the reasons all of us like them so much, i know its why i love them.

waiting to hear from the insurrance today to find out what the out come is, just the excess is gonna be a killer.

my day yesterday was compounded when i got caught for speeding, on the way back from work, so hopefully due so good news.lol

Ouch! Without wanting to be ghoulish, what speed do you think you were doing when it all went titsup?
