Sh!t mate! Glad you're ok.

Someone upstairs has a wicked sense of humour!!

Seriously though - hope you're not too shaken up.

Nasty one mate!

Was just thinking after dukes pass on Sunday and 5/6 slides, not all planned, that the roads were pretty dodgy at the moment.

Anyway, pleased your ok but gutted to learnt that my yellow stablemate has gone

Bad luck, good to hear that you got away with nothing serious to your bodywork, mechanicals etc â€“ even if the car is not so hot.

Weâ€™ve all been there and most of the time we catch it but once in a while lady luck is not totally on our side.

Still thatâ€™s why we pay insurance and any landing you walk away from is a good one!

Very bad luck - all to easy for this to happen on slimy Autumn roads, nearly been there myself on a couple of occasions.

Commiserations mate! Any crash you can walk away from as they say....Once you get over it it'll make a good story at least....I managed the same thing in an old Fiat Panda

..think you'll be way ahead in the pub street cred stakes somehow

Sorry to hear your bad news. But worse things really do happen at sea:
Titanic,
Lusitania,
Kursk,
Exxon Valdez,
Hood,
Bismark
Estonia etc....

Unlucky mate, its not as if your one of the "on the edge" kind of drivers, your known for being reasonably sensible.. Still... start looking in the classifieds for another one.

You could be the new "Gareth" for a while, shal I get this, or shall I get one of these....

Seriously though. Glad its only the metal and plastic thats going to need major work and your ok.

Let us all know how your getting on, I am sure there will be loads of advice from here.
