...........to the owner of the Noble which I saw embedded in the central res of the A1 at Barnet this evening frown - the car looked superb when it went past me a few miles previous and was a bit of a shock to see it with 3 wheels a few minutes later - if you're reading this mate I hope the insurance company can put humpty back together again!

Is this implying a wheel cause or just that one wheel came off in the impact??

sorry - should have mentioned that everybody seemed OK! - much peering and prodding of bodywork going on which suggested that no-one was hurt - I'm guessing from the skidmarks and impact point that somebody drifted out in front of him - there seemed to be a couple of other vehicles involved.

think it was silver but maybe that kind of bronze/champagne colour - dusk was setting in so a bit difficult to tell exactly - to save anyone asking I don't know what model it was I am afraid

Wasn't my wife either.

Sorry to hear the tale. Still, insurance is there to sort out the bent bits, and nice to hear everyone was up and walking around.

the wheels are all smashed up

but the panel damage is minimal

it needs a new front clam and a set of rims at least
