So as a few already know I had a carbon copy of Marks SSSF episode but no time for the SSS as someone put an Armco and street lamp in the way, Many years of fast enjoyable driving in the VX and at 60 on a straight duell carrageway this happens. To say I am distrought and pissed off would be an understatement.
Oh and the crash has done nothing for my devistatingly good looks.

I'm really sorry to hear about the off Gordon. The pictures appeared on my Facebook wall this morning and I was shocked to see the end result, you're very lucky to have walked away from it and the car can always be replaced.

That is possibly the most shocking pic I have seen of a VX.
Looks like you dived straight under the barrier - which would explain just how devastating the damage is. That really looks like it should have been a fatal.
Have the police given any indications of possible cause, or even witnesses to corroborate what happened?
It's not likely to be a tie rod failure again?
EDIT: Excuse my rudeness.... Glad you have walked away from that, hope you mend quickly.
