Absolutely gutted for you Andy - however, you walking away from something like that is the most important issue.

Charles

ps assume you now want another t350 - or are you going to leave the dark side and get a lotus?

Sorry to hear that, beautiful car as well. Least you're okay though - car can be replaced, sad as it may be.

Needless to say I'm driving with a delicate right foot at the moment, much to the annoyance of many rep-mobiles who seem to think they're invincible in their luxurious palaces on wheels.

Pleased you're okay - good luck with finding a replacement... (nice new Limited Edition Exige in formula 1 !!)

Oh dear. Thats a bad one. frown

Glad you escaped intact. Shame the T350 is gone too. Great cars.


Please resist the Lotus choice. Stick with TVR........You know it makes sense.

Shame about the car but like ppl say cars can be replaced people can't. And stick with another TVR you don't want one of those lotus gocarts :-)

My focus is knackered so looks like i'll be driving the chim around over christmas, being paranoid and ultracareful putting the power down (not that i get much chance to put the power down on the western bypass in the rush hour anyway)

Real shame Andy, such a nice car my favorite colour too, glad you are OK.
I am still looking for a T350T in that very colour/ spec I was really bowled over by how yours looked.

Get an 'ATOM' like Zebs, then we can have a go at racing them.......

It will be cheaper too, as You and Zebs will be able to share OUR running costs.

(win-win situation, me thinks !)

Unfortunately I know exacly what you're going through. I wrapped my Tuscan a couple of years ago and despite people saying 'at least you're OK, cars can be replaced' etc etc (which is of course true) it doesnt actually make you feel any better - only time will help the healing process weeping

Heres hoping you recover quickly and find yourself a suitable replacement 'pride and joy' cloud9
