Anybody got a nice S1

[Kinger]

Afraid S1 111S is no more, totally gutted.

It came to quite a sudden stop on the A90 earlier tonight. A guy in an Audi S3 lost it coming out of a sharp slip road on the Forfar bypass and hit my back wheel sending me into a 360 or more spin, it went into the barrier backwards at 70 (ish) spun round again and went back into barrier front first. It managed to bust front and rear suspension and nearly everything else. On the upside its still got a good driver's door and boot lid.

The guy got charged with dangerous driving but afraid its no consolation. Big plus point was has the harness on and it really did a good job but shoulders and hips aching

Totally gutted, loved that wee car. Just going to get pissed.

Graham. Shocker. Glad you are ok. Get pissed. Get up. Get looking for what's next.

Crikey, that sounds like a sore one (in every sense!!)
Glad you are ok tho.

Cheers guy's. At the end of the day the outcome wasn't that bad. Car's replaceable and just a few ache's is a good result.

Glad your okay matey, as you said the car can be replaced/upgraded to a S2

[IanD]

Good to hear that you came out of it ok if a bit sore.

[j2 lot]

Sad to hear the cars a loss but at least your ok. Hope you get a good replacement

[UncleRon]

Agree with all the previous posts and glad your ok as that's clearly the main thing!

That said I am really sorry that's the end of your S1 as I've got some really good memories of us having some cracking stints on various tracks with the two S1's.......

Glad you are OK, but such a shame but the car. A great loss.

Glad you're OK and the harness did it's job well! Really sorry to hear your car is totaled I think Dave Hay's old S1 is for sale with a pretty tidy spec these days??

Bloody hell Kinger, I was not expecting to read about this first thing today. I am really gutted for you and I cannot believe it has happened, but the main thing is that your ok. You will find another car and you were due a change anyway as its been a few months since your last purchase. Joking aside, I am glad you are not injured and the car and harnesses did their job in protecting you. You had a cracking 111s which you clearly loved and you will soon find another one. I hope that the insurance claim is resolved quickly for you.


Steve.
