Bad luck Rich.

Hope it all gets sorted out without too much hassle. Glad no-one was hurt.

Credit to you for admitting the error. I've been there too (thankfully not in the S) and it's the easiest thing in the world to blame ice/oil/tyres/etc. Anything and anyone but yourself.

I'm sure you won't make the same mistake again and you'll be an even better driver for it.

Or you could fit a set of Eagle F1's, they make a *big* difference in the wet.

Glad you not hurt and hope you get your car sorted in the quickest and pain free way

We will now be attending SM3 in the ATR if allowed!

not wanting to be one of those on lookers that brings the motorway to a crawl when they see a crash on the other side of the motorway but are you going to post ya pic's when you get 5 mins?

Once again mate gutted for you!

Only just made it home after my week away. A couple of pics below. The ones I took of the actual car came out c**p, mainly I think because my hands were still shaking!

Some shots of under the rear wheels when the car was up on the ramps at Alty Honda. It's not a good feeling when all the mechanics stop working and come and look at the damage on the almost brand bew car.




Fingers crossed that it might be back on the road in 2-3 weeks. I'm in a 1.0 Corsa from Tesco, it's not fun, it has a quite engine, it's too high from the ground and this afternoon I tried to find the start button.
