Anyone have an update on the Griff driver that crashed on the A329M this moning? Both front and rear badly smashed but the centre section looked OK and it stayed on it's wheels by the look of things. I was a dark blue/black car either a late one or had a rear light conversion.

Hope you're OK who ever you are!!

I saw the driver (I guess) standing behind the police car he seemed physically unhurt. I hope it was him and not someone else who had been ambulanced away before I saw it. Oh I was stuck in a traffic jam so rubbernecking was not dangerous! My guess is that it was a write off although I have heard of entire new fron and rear ends being stiched on if the chassis is ok.

Looking at the damage to the Armco my guess would be the same, Unfortunatly it takes more than fibregass to bend that stuff

There's a piece of armco up there that's been bent for some time, though - you sure that's not it? I didn't actually see the accident or aftermath, so please ignore me if I'm talking shiite.

Nightmare phone call from my girlfriend at lunchtime saying that a mate of ours had seen a dark blue TVR all mashed up on the A329(M) and was it ours - had to do a quick dash to the car park to check no-one had nicked mine.

Sympathies to the Griff driver and fingers crossed that the insurer does the right thing and pays for it to be fixed.

Phew - just checked it wasn't mine. I left it outside Thames Valley Racetech this morning at 7.30am and stuffed the keys through the door. Thought I'd better check that it was still there when they arrived!
