Oh, Simon. I am absolutely gutted for you mate. How did it happen? And more importantly are you OK?

Ow!! Really sorry to see that, but more importantly were you and any passengers OK?
What happened? Can't see any other vehicles so was it a case of too much loud at the wrong time?
Looks like a total write off but whatever happens I hope you get it sorted with the insurance company.

[BatleyBoy]

Yes, I was very very lucky.

Just me in the car fortunately.

Front end gone, back end gone, and roof gone! Car a complete write off.

Not sure what happened. Thank god no one crashed into me.

BiB were very good. Said had 26 accidents on that stretch and M62 in 3 hours....black ice I think.

Ouch, sorry to see that, I had a big one in my Griff a few years back, unfortunately accidents happen but glad you are ok and hope you do well out of the insurance.

[so called]

The car albeit a loss, at least you're around to drive another if you choose, that's the main thing.

[shapeshifter]

That looks real bad, such a shame another is lost.

[D14 AYS]

st mate looks like you are a lucky boy,glad your ok.

[m3coupe]

Jesus, that looks a bad one. Glad you're alright.

If the roads were anything like where I am, they were terrible.

What time did it happen out of curiosity?

Ah, was just wondering if it was an early morning crash when the roads department hadn't got the gritters out yet. Up here it's 5 before they go out, no matter what the weather.

Lime I said before, gutted for you. Hope the insurance sorts it out and you get another car sorted soon.

[Mark A S]

Really sorry to hear this, keep your chin up and glad your OK.

[nelly1]

Bad luck fella!

The bottom line is that you walked away and a piece of metal and fibre-glass didn't.
In the grand scheme of things you were lucky, however stty you may feel at the moment!

Chin up mate

Really sad to hear of your loss, glad you're ok!

Chin up and back in the saddle asap!

[BatleyBoy]

Thanks to one and all.

Still a bit battered and bruised, but thats about all.

Im sure I will take the plunge again.....but need to get my wife on side first!

[WhyTwo]

What terrible news. My P&J was written off in June if you remember so I know exactly how you feel. As everyone says, at least you're OK.

Hope you get back in the saddle ASAP, I did and I'm loving my latest Tuscan.

BTW update on my incident - the police are taking no further action but confirmed to the insurance company last week that the other driver was at fault so at least my record is clear and I can recover the losses that the insurance didn't pay out on - excess, re-insuring my next Tuscan etc

[da_murphster]

I can't see the pictures at work but out of interest how do you feel the car faired up?

Would it put you off another TVR?

How 'safe' are these cars?
