Default RIP to my 339BHP Bugeye twinscroll WRX

Went to see my scooby on the weekend, took some photos in the cold light of day. So sad :-( Reckon i'm lucky to come out with just a scratch and a bit of whiplash!

Its a sad day, a tyre blew out while I was on the M1, hit the barrier on the hard shoulder then span out hit the barrier on fast lane.

Touch wood, i had no injuries apart from a small graze on my right arm, and no one was hurt, apart from my bug!

In memory of my dearly beloved... RIP

Cheers, my pride and joy is dead When I got out the car, all suspension struts were out of place, with the front 2 wheels horizontal. The car was out of shape, and it will be a write off, there's no way she can be fixed.

Yeah, I was on the M1 going home after meeting you, the guys on the scene couldnt understand where the second exhaust had come from

I've never had to deal with insurance after a crash before, i'm hoping all will go smooth so i can get my next car!
