Oh dear. Binned it right outside our office. How on earth the driver managed it is completely beyond me - it's a straight piece of road.

Nobody injured, but surely some dented pride. Front of the car's a mess though. Will post a pic or two just as soon as I can get them uploaded.

A couple of pics. Sad to see such a nice car missing some parts.

<speculation mode> gave it too much welly pulling out of one of the junctions? It's a busy road and frustrating getting out of the junctions </speculation mode>

That's what we were thinking, although the traffic wasn't that busy there at the time.

On that stretch I'd bet evenly on a little too much progress from the M3 and a lane change by someone else. Avoiding action gone wrong. Never a happy combination there!

Have a wave from Horfield chaps wavey

Looking at your garage, you need to bring that R500 into work sometime (and then give me a shout!)

We should meet up sometime for lunch at Toby's, or another conveniently located eatery.

Great idea! Shall we start another thread to attract other Aztec Westers?

I'm afraid I don't really want to publish my exact work location on the web smile

I work in McDonalds and I'm ashamed of it. I also don't hold any directorships so I was trying to keep that under wraps wink
