Likewise, hope everyone is ok. I can vouch for how well these cars old out in a crash.

Yeah it was gedi. He's fine. Aqua planed into the barrier. Considering the mess I'm surprised that the air bags didn't go off! He'll know tomorrow if it's a write off or not

Sorry bingoking but i'm afraid it was me. not the sort of spotted I like.

Was on my way to Murray Motors for a service and MOT. if it wasnt for that I wouldnt have went out. Conditions were awful and I hit a river across the road and just aquaplaned into the barrier. feeling bad about the whole thing as I thought I was driving to the conditions but clearly not.
Car looks pretty bad but on reflection it was more of a slide down the barrier rather than impact which is why I think the airbags didnt go off. Expecting to find out tomorrow if its repairable.
I've read plenty about people losing the back end but on this one my front let go in a straight line, probably because its so light.

Nothing hurt with me except pride. Gives me good confidence in the build of these cars. So glad I was on my own and only have myself to blame.

Sorry about the car but glad to hear that you're OK Gerard.

Conditions were absolutely dreadful on the M9 today - I had to brake quite abruptly when a river suddenly river appeared in front of me near Bannockburn, luckily I was in the Panda and not the Exige so made it through with minimal drama.

Let me know if you need a lift anywhere when you're getting the car sorted out.
