I've heard Mark Underwood's a genius!!!

My poor scoob was written off today after surfing down a French Motorway in VERY heavy rain on holiday last month!!

I can't believe this happened doing 50mph on a straight motorway after the 'enjoyment on the twisties' this car has given me over the past three years.

May I recommend not stacking it in France as it has taken 5 weeks to be declared a write off with no courtesy car[img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Now just got to wait for the pennies before scooby 2

Frontage



Backage

Hi Ian

Yep gutted!

No one hurt as the back hit first so just pushed into seats. Very lucky we wern't hit by other traffic!

Suzie thinks it is a bit of an extreme way to get a STi7!!!

Phil

PS Defis for sale soon

Glad your both OK!

I do agree with Suzi though, it deffinatly one way to get an STi 7, not the way I would have done it personally

I dont need Defi's but if your offering a free backbox to an unemployed person ;-)

Catch up with you soon!

Trust me it's a lot worse in the flesh. The pix don't show the full extent of the damge.

You can see the whole of the rear tyre tread on the rear offside and the boot is pushed a long way in, right through the fuel flap. It just doesn't look like it in the pix. Probably my shaky hand at the time!

It must be quite bad to write it off (MY98)

Try here for a plate http://www.dvla-som.co.uk/search/sea...=P111L&page=20

P111L C U is only £250!!!! A tactical screw does wonders but mine still reads Phil without the bolt.

Had it for a year and no trouble with plod
