    Glad you are OK AtW.

    Nice long bonnet to absorb the impact. Proves a sporty car is best!

        Now all he has to wait for is some person to randomly call up "I understand you have been in a car accident that is not your fault........"

          Always creates a bit of a 'moment' when you realise how quick these things happen and how different it could have been, glad alles ist gut.

          Perhaps now is the opportunity to change that pocket rocket for a Chelsea tractor.

            Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

              Car which was on the left decided to suddenly turn right into that road that you can see below, that hit me in the side and forced off road,thankfully nobody was on the pavement AND my braking was quick - the speed at which I hit the wall was very low, but airbag got deployed. Don't know if the car is going to be a write off or not
              Clarity please - the damage to the Merc is on your nearside, were you travelling in opposite direction when the vehicle turned - in which case I would expect damage to your offside; or were you overtaking the vehicle when it turned right which would explain the nearside damage
              How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

                I think we need an emergency CUK mates and beer meetup in Brum.

                  As has been said, main thing is everyone walked away. In such cases the old adage 'make a virtue of necessity' comes to mind. Time to head to Autotrader.

                    Glad you're OK aTw, shame about the car, but now you have an excuse to upgrade
