Reminds me of Robins Stelvio prang

Best bit is you came out of it ok

Yeah Andy completely agree,

You did a reet good job of it !!!- not a panel unscathed. Been said already but you were lucky to get out of that in one piece. Hope you aren't too sore today - whiplash feels like you have spent the day loosing a boxing match. Keith

As for your sig...think it needs to read "111R-Broken for good spec"!

Keep smiling.

Very impressive! If you're going to crash you might as well do it properly!!
Glad you walked away from it unscathed

Thanks for the words of encouragement guys.

But after a few gd hours of thinking and speaking to friends and family, that is game over for my Lotus days. After the feelings ive been thru and what ive put them thru, yesterday and in the past with fast cars, it really is time to call it quits before i do myself a proper injury, i could hack causing injury to myself, but not bringing misery to people i care for.

This is a very hard decision as i really really did love my Elise, but luck is luck, and is bound to run out.

So thanks again to everybody who posted well wishes, i will still be a regular on here, but sadly not as a Lotus owner

Regards,

Ricky
