yeah that was my vx220... black one hit the lampost.. aquaplaned... was only goin 50mph.. worst bit was the car was almost brand new to me!!! but yeah i miss her so much!!! the rain that day was crazy heavy!! i think it was a mix of inexperience and extreme weather.. but on the plus side no damage to me at all but the car got a CatD

cat d isnt too bad considering those pictures! sorry to hear that mate how you and passenger was alright

[jonkelly]

actually guys, do any of you know if a red one did go off as well?? cos the insurance company are desperately trying not to pay up!! so if a red one did go off thats a bit more ammo for me, although if it is true i hope they are ok!

[jonkelly]

i am surprised it just got cat D! but i was 100% ok no injuries at all.. hugely dented ego!

[The Batman]

as long as you learn from it its alright. do you plan on getting another vx?

[jonkelly]

yes i do... but im covering all that stuff in this topic.. http://www.vx220.org...showtopic=70737 KEEPING BUSY!!!

im very keen not to make a similar mistake again...

[snoopstah]

cos the insurance company are desperately trying not to pay up!!

On what grounds?

[Sambo1]

Sorry to hear that

[VXTim]

Those pics look nasty. Glad you're okay! Keep safe everyone!

[mandarinvx]

On what grounds?

Must have been quite an impact to end up hugging the lamppost like that! Glad you walked away OK

Bloody Hell , you were lucky.

[jonkelly]

at 50mph it only skided about 20 yards before it hit the lamppost so it must have gone in at some speed.. but yeah i was 100% ok... not even bad whip lash! and the insurance company keep on losing letters and delaying things and sending investigators and stuff.. think its mainly to do with the short amount of time i had the car for. Imj just glad i didnt have a passenger although the passenger foot well was 100% ok! even the foot rest stayed in place... I just cant wait to get my next one! although i do now have a fear of wet weather even when driving my temp 106..

[Crazyfrog (Fab)]

glad your ok look nasty

[theotherjonnymac]

Very sorry to see another one bite the dust. At least you walked away. Another for the safety design of the VX
