This was my early Christmas present. Slid on something, contacted with car on other side of road.
Will be 'bout 4.5k to fix. Outta my pocket, ahem. Was running Toyo T1-s. Unhappy but unscared.

Glad you are OK mate. Just had a skid myself on Toyos, although mine were only 50 miles old and still not bedded in. Pictures are in another post in this forum 
Although I was told not to push it with the new tyres on until I'd done about 200 miles, it's scary that they gave so easily when I wasn't pushing it and driving normally, i.e. within speed limits, sunday driver style
Glad you are OK and hope you get it sorted soon.

The other car was a clapped out old sierra worth about 300quid, so it got written off. The fire brigade worked this out when they turned up and proceeded to use it as a training aid. The other driver was made to remain in the car (could have got out as the drivers door would open) while they cut off the doors then the roof!!
Impact speed was about 25mph, which kinda makes me nervous about motorway driving all of a sudden!!
I expected a bit better from the Toyos though, they were warmed up and run in, though I'm not too hot on controling 4 wheel drifting slids, one reason I'm doing an advanced drivers course now. Should help with the insurance hopefully.
Trouser; got any piccies of the repairs so far?????

Thankfully no body seriously hurt... they are solid cars...
Hope it is fixed soon...

Also glad you are ok, I use Toyos and in comparation with the S02PP, S03, Sp9000, the Toyos are the best allrounders, even when i used them in my now gone MR-2 Spyder, they seem that improve the handling.
