fingers crossed, airlifting is never a good sign.

Oh well, while assumptions are POSSIBLY being made about the manner in which TVRs are driven....when are people going to be taught how to use a blinkin slip road !

It could just have easily been some indecisive 30mph idiot jamming their brakes on at the end of the slip road because of their crap driving 'skills'.

[Adam T]

Im relatively local (only a mile or two away)

Its quite a long slip road, but mostly 30mph as you pass the induistrial units/car dealerships. can be quite busy, hence the 30 limit. parked cars are quite prevelent on the edge of the road.

Hope the occupants are ok.

Hmm, for some reason I assumed it was not that one, but the slip road at the other end of Tadcaster - the one that is a tight left hand radius off the flyover...

Steering locked over, slippy road, No ABS (Not sure on a Cerb?) less visibility...

You're right on Si, no ABS in ANY TVR

unfortunatly an ex customer of ours ! he owned a 4.0 chim that was bought from us, decided he wanted somthing with more juice, nearly bought a noble off us then went to drive style and bought a very expensive cerbera as it was a flip paint .... heard about it over the weekend and just realised who it was !!!!

shocked !

It was the straight slip road onto the A64 East Bound

Bounced off a few parked cars I think!

[grahamw48]

I'm surprised.
That section is pretty foolproof, and visibility very good, unless someone were to pull out of one of the entrances on the left right in front of you.

[tomTVR]

Thats another one ruined

[stainless_steve]

Lets not start guessing what may or may not have happened.

Hope they will both make a full recovery

Spot on, none of us apart from whoever was in the right seat of the TVR knows what happened, speculating like this makes us no better than the local press, let's wait until the driver tells us what happens.

Not an Indian looking chap was it? Cant remember his name but sure he had a flip cerb at one of the meets.

[fridaypassion]

[gemini]

Hi Sarah! Jeeese that is a hefty list of injuries, hadnt realised it was that bad from what i read, as you say thank god you're still with us, sounds like it could have easily been worse. Best wishes for a full recovery from me and im sure everyone on here.

I'm scared to get another TVR now!
