Dear Stuwy and Lizy. Only just seen this (sorry, i've been off-board for a while). I am so so sorry to see how it all went wrong but oh so happy to read that you are both well and getting better. Sending thoughts and wishes for a speedy total recovery and hopes that all the I's are dotted and T's crossed quickly regarding the insurance etc. The very best of regards... ..icey

Once the insurance is settled; I'd like to know what happened.

Wrist has already explained Mike earlier in the thread:

Stuwy, appreciate this is an odd request, but one day when you're ready will you tell us what actually happened?

Don't mind telling, I was traveling along a country style lane, quite narrow with high hedges. Doing around 30 mph I entered a corner expecting it to be a sweeping left hander. What become apparant is that it was a two stage corner and now turning already there was a sign to indicate that its sharp (to late down the road to see but water, bridge and all that) anyway, the corner got very sharp very quickly, a hairpin in fact. So extra steering was applied but grip run out and the car understeered (washed out) whatever you want to call it. Unfortunately there was a car coming the other way and we collided. If there was no car on the other side of the road it would have been a different story and I would have had a scary story to tell at the beach.

It was totally my fault I should have been more careful on roads I am not familiar with. 20mph would have got us round safely or perhaps a better driver would have managed. However it is what it is and I already feel like complete sh*t so I would appreciate no lectures from the forum please.

Thanks Guys, sorry I missed the post. Fair play Stuwy, we have all done it and mostly we get away with it.

Possibly the worst picture Iv ever seen! Looks horrific! Glad your all safe and recovering. Much respect for saying how it happened, doesn't sound like it was your fault though. Just sounds like a bad accident, wrong place, wrong time.

Stuwy, just looking at the picture of your car. I had not seen it when asking about your arm on Saturday night. sh*t no wonder its a little sore still ! Bet it felt better after the home brew Hope it gets better soon and your back in a VX asap. We have all over cooked it at times,sometimes your lucky and get away with it and its a lesson learned other times you don't and you learn the hard way simple as that. Maybe you should have the arm looked at again if its still the same in a few days

[Sammy]

I think you need to replace it with this: http://www.pistonhea...d-price/1136804

Maybe you should have the arm looked at..

I have tryed that sentence many times, he just says: its fine or its better... anything along those lines yet it is still actualy sore

i thought the ambulance crew were trying to get it checked out at the hospital?

my bet is on a fracture, it will probably heal okay but would be a good idea to confirm just in case it needs more help healing. No point turning an incident that didn't cause any permanent damage into one that does.

[Andrew aka Stuwy]

geeezzz its fine! it was just bruised... Nice to know your all thinking of me though

[JG]

Think you should get it looked at.

So was my foot when I had a hairline fracture which A&E failed to spot. Get it X-Rayed!

[fezzasus]

Easy to miss a fracture when there's lots of burst blood vessels causing bruising and swelling.

[Baron Von Scubadaddy]

if the car wasn't feeling right you'd take it to the workshop It won't matter if you find out there is nothing wrong will it ! Get down the doctors

[ollie2007]
