or in my case the Armco on a slip road!
Im sad to say that i wrote my car off on Saturday night on the A3. Its taken me a bit of time to get around to writing this down, with some hesitation. Momentarily lost concentration (saw a 182 on the inside lane) whilst travelling on the outside lane at speed, didnt realise i was drifting into the central reservation which i then corrected which resulted in the back coming out at me putting the car into a sideways drift across all the lanes and over the slip road into the barrier (hitting the front right), ripping the front right wheel off with the suspension strut & driveshaft. Not entirely sure what happened next but the passengers side was damaged/grazed along the ground before resting on the roof going down the slip road. It was a very intense & frightening experience. My friend in the passenger seat had a badly grazed arm which he went to hospital to get checked out. For some very odd and grateful reason i was uninjured, didnt even have any aches. I think someone & the car was looking after me. I have quite a few pics of the car on its roof and after. and a few 3gp (playable in quick time) videos off the phone.
Strangely i have no emotion connected to the car even though i had lusted after the car from the first time i had read a preview article in evo quite a few years ago. Even though i only had it for a year i had some great time with the car. It a strong little thing, which maybe I’ll be able to afford within a few years, but i dont think i will be able to replace it with the same car.
I will most likely be selling my viper kit (done 12k) & maybe some sound stuff depending on what my next car is. Ill put a link in this thread for pics that ill add to the media section.
Reason why i posted, hmm not sure, sadness at the departure of the car, probably wont be coming on here that much now (no car at the moment and not sure what ill be getting next) although i have to say i have loved coming on here for the last year and a half with boundless amounts of useful information from heads of people....
......im still sad not seeing your car everyday.......but as above glad you are ok....xx
