A broken phase 1 silver (the best)

Hi guys, thanks for concern and crikey I can't fart with that car without one of you knowing about it lol. That was me taking her to SG on the M3.
Was on my way to meet in London with some mates for brekky on Boxing day morning, at about 7am i was taking it really easy at no more than 50mph due to icy conditions, on approaching stag hill I hit a half mile stretch of black ice car instantly whipped left I caught it, it went again this time to the right and span me about 8 times hitting the barrier about 4 times complete and utter passenger to the cars whim!
Police and ambulance were absolutely fantastic can't praise them highly enough!
Luckily the good lady decided that staying at home in bed was the preferred option that morning as the airbags deployed on pax side, I walked away from accident with a dislocated knee cap, very lucky it wasn't worse.
If the assessors deem it repairable cost wise it will not come out in the winter ever again, lesson to all these cars bite the old and experienced drivers too.

Thanks again guys hope to see you all soon with her back in pristine condition again.
 
Good to hear your OK Dave :approve: Also good to know that your car will be making a full recovery also :salut:
Been there and know how it feels but don't let it put you off the vee. What's the saying about falling off the bike?!!!!!
 
Glad your ok Dave and a lucky escape. You're not alone, like Russo says. Hope you sort it out easily enough pal. :approve:
 
Quick update, insurance company were being absolute fools and tried to write off my beast, long story when I finish legalities I will divulge info.

But I have told insurance to jog on and will rebuild her from my own pocket with Scott from SG assistance.

Have to say Scott is an absolute diamond!
