I'm OK but just a bit in shock and thawing out after standing by the M6 Toll for a couple of hours.

Don't think there's any chassis damage as you can see the radiators is still there although the offside front wheel was pointing the wrong way, hopefully that's just a bent suspension arm.

Hopefully being brought back to S&D on Monday for a proper look.

Oh no!!! Glad you're ok. That motorway doesn't look much fun at all! Hopefully no chassis damage and a good insurer who understands that keeping it on the road is better than declaring a write off and it'll be fine.

Who are you insured with? Mannings have been great with our recent hedge excursion, and the renewal quote wasn't horrendous either which was a nice surprise.

Exactly, that's not pretty but hopefully repairable without too much drama. Any accident you can walk away from pretty unscathed is a good accident.

David - glad you're ok, as you say it doesn't look terminal. The car can be fixed (better,stronger,faster - I'm sure plans are starting to form whistle ) but in general people aren't so easy to repair...

Best of luck sir

Just saw a post on FB and came straight over here.
Looks fixable, you're in one piece, still must be gutting though. Glad you came out of it in one piece mate.
