Driving down the A120 monday night came up to a corner turned in and spun about 10 meters ended up faceing the wrong way in a hegde.
I wasn,t going stupidly fast but was caught out by the icey conditions that i wasn,t expecting.
Tvr,s are very powerful cars and for a split second lost my concentration.
Now the car has chunks of fiberglass missing from all panels on the drivers side,bonnet and front valance.
Use this as an example its the worst feeling in the world don,t get caught out like me.....

Oh! No! Sorry to hear that. I guess you'll be out of action for a bit then.

Be careful out there peeps.

Sorry to read the sad news - easily done. Hope the insurance process is a doddle and that you're back out there soon - stone chip-less!

Yep you can tell me all about it, been there got the dirty pants

As long as you are Ok mate thats all that matters.

Mine had about 13K worth of damage(mainly Bodywork) and was rebuilt. Yours is newer than mine and hopefully theres not as much damage. Every panel of mine was damaged.see my profile for pics or my website.

All the best

Yeah I was really sorry to hear that, as I said at least it was before and not after the re-spray.

I'll send some photo's of your car to you that I took the other week at the sunday drive, so you've got them if you need them for insurance/rebuild purposes.

Terrible news mate - at least you don't need fixing!

If you're not too far out, I'll give you a lift to Mid-Essex if you can slum it in an S! (I'm in Bishop's Stortford)

BB - nice website BTW, and horrendous pics of the BB uch: - the fact you were alright goes to show how strong these cars are.
