Rear impact into the central reservation on the M4. So the exhaust probably isn't the shape that it ought to be!! Chassis is bent apparrently, so not repairable really. Everything from the doors forwards would be decent salvage though. The CS Stage 2+ engine is probably fine, and even had it's cambelt service done 2 weeks ago.

I'm fine - I was harnessed in good & tight as always. Just minor whiplash that's gone now.

glad your ok btw so will never follow you anymore last london run for her
so what is next

Bloody hell Lee, glad your OK though

[Tolksee]

Just bought an MX-5 for a fun runabout to get me back on the road. (Already enquired about getting a loud exhaust for it!!!) I don't know what's next. I was hoping to get P40LVX's car that was for sale, but was too late. Plus I really ought to see how much my insurance is going to go up!! I'm toying with the idea of a Boxster S or a S2000. Think the Boxster would drink petrol, and the S2000 is high insurance £ for the performance... Maybe I'll supercharge the MX-5...... You can get bolt-on 230bhp conversions....

Nah, greasy/icy motorway, cold tyres, and heavy right foot....

[techieboy]

Christ. It's my worst nightmare, having something like that happen on a motorway. Glad to hear you got away relatively lightly even if the car didn't.

[wrightster]

glad to hear you are ok mate

[ElizP987]

Gutted to hear that, but glad you are ok After seeing Nr 18 drive off today, its sad to hear another VXR going

[Muttley]

Another sad day. Glad you walked away Steve

[XXX]

Sorry to hear about your VXR Lee. Glad you are OK...... (wondered why you were selling your VXR no plate.....!)

[VXR 43]

Totally gutted for you pal, glad your ok!

[snowwhite]

Totally missed this. Sorry to hear about the car Lee another one gone. Glad you're ok and are taking it all so well Have had a few MX-5'ers come across to the fold recently so you're just balancing it out
