Hope there were no passengers involved.
Looks like the driver came out of it alright tho' with his arm in a sling

 

Blimey! Hope everyone is ok, I wanna be the first to say it.

"It will polish out "

Cheers

1 Word....HORRIFIC..

Hope all involved are ok....

You can always start over.....

 

That was a nice car aswell remember seeing it at the TTS meetings and liking the spoiler...

Hope u ok mate.

 

Jesus Christ, I hope everyone involved is ok

 

I cannot believe that anyone could walk away from that...

 

Phil was OK after spending 3 days in hospital

He wins the prize for the worst xmas prezzy ever.

Cheers

Good job there was no one in the passenger seat.

Phil: Just seen the pictures. You are a very lucky man to get away with just a few days in hospital.
Like I said, anything I can do to help, let me know.

A word of warning to all Scooby drivers who have not found out yet. These cars are fantastic on very wet roads and give you lots of confidence but snow is another matter. To make reasonable progress requires a totally different technique. Next time it snows, if you have not already done it, find a deserted road and find out for yourself what the braking and cornering is like.
I could drive my 16v Astra like a hooligan on snow but the Scooby requires the utmost respect until you have fully mastered four wheel drive and centre LSD.

 

OMG what did you hit? and at what speed ?

 

sumin solid pretty quick by looks of it that is proper fooked glad yer OK thou m8 most important thing after all & there's sum serious good fortune there on the one hand....

All the best~

i'll have the spoiler off you, it's about the only bit left
sriously though congrats for walking away from that,looks like a transformer that's stuck halfway

 

blimey!!! Glad you're ok!

Cheers guys. I walked away with a broken collar bone and a bashed forehead, which is pretty lucky. I had no passenger fortunately. I lost it in the snow, skidded across a central reservation (made up of grass and snow) and I hit a van coming the other way at about 50 mph. Couldn't scrub any speed off in the snow. Hopefully when the insurance pays out I can afford another one.

 

Lucky chap
How did the van driver do?

 

good to see your fine.......when you said you'd had a mishap i didn't have any visions of this!!!!!!!!!!!

hope the new year is a good one,

AFAIK the van driver got away with a broken leg.

 

this will end up a big insurance claim cause without a doubt the other fellow will be claiming for personal injuries, hope you had protected no claims

 

Why were you driving with those tires in the snow!? Does everyone do that in the UK?

 

Oh my god!!!
Glad everyone was ok.

& stratone yeah snow doesn't usualy last long if at all in the main so very few people have suitably skinny snow tyres as a spare set

Shocking!!!

 

Didn't have protected NCB as insurance companies wouldn't do it as I was 24 when I took the policy out.

 

I've had Protected NCB since i was 22.
I think they'll only give you protection if you have 4 years or more NCB
