Scottish Elises

Just picked up the Evening Express in Asda with a picture on the front of a smashed Seven with driver still inside. Link to the article on the web here. Bit more detailed in the paper - appears the guy is ok after being cut free. Anybody who frequents here??

Hope he's ok!

I don't think it's a Caterham - Scuttle panel is the wrong shape / it has huge wheels fitted...Maybe a Westie, or something of that ilk...

Anderson Drive can be crazy at the best of times - It's like a race from the Auchmill roundabout to Bridge of Dee...Nobody wants to lose road position, so you tend to see some fairly aggressive driving...

looked like the taxi was crossing.

says no serious injuries......

I concur. Windscreen/bulkhead angle looks like maybe a Sylva Striker. Glad to read no serious injuries.

...and the article says "open-top Caterham Seven-style motor" ?

Would be quite interesting to see how one copes in a road accident. I'd have thought they would stay together pretty well. Hitting a 4x4 or truck would be though, even in an Elise.

Got hit by a train once on a level crossing in N1.

Train went straight over the top and barely left a mark.

ps found some fantastic mushrooms/funghi on the lawn today when Verian was mowing it. Look like penny buns/cepes, which are the king of the funghi world, taste great, but have a slightly weird feeling.

Lucky escape

(I hear that ingesting certain mushrooms can make make you come up with weird, random stuff...how many have you had, Tut? )

That looks like a fantastic cep. We get a few around here - always under beech trees but they're pretty uncommon and don't appear every year. Texture is firm and really nutty taste. Sliced and fried...
