Flipped my S on Sunday
Not much to say really. Road was dry, going round a gentlish left hander and experienced sudden breakaway. Over to the right, up a bank and over. I'm completely unscathed, the car on the other hand is no more.
About to start the joy of negotiating with insurers and will be trying to retain the salvage as the mods weren't cheap (new engine was fitted June aswell).
Was planning to sell the car in the next couple of months and part out - I hadn't expected it to end like this
I have driven round MUCH sharper turns at much higher speeds in worst conditions and in three years of daily driver ownership have only had two slight moments, both in icy conditions.
I realise it could have been so much worse!!

JEL, remember you have lived to tell.
Hope it all ends well (with the insurers). On a serious note if you haven't told them about the mods its best not to mention them or try and get the car back to stock.
