Telegraph Pole & accident repair

ExigeKen · Post by **ExigeKen** » Mon Dec 31, 2007 8:25 pm

Just missed a corner completely in the thick fog and hit a telegraph pole and made a real mess of the front of my Exige. Luckily I was only travelling at 35mph if I was going any faster I dread to think what would have happened.

I'm OK just very shaken and a little sore.

My car is in a breakdown center in Renfrew has anyone got any guidance as to the best motor accident centre on the West Coast or should I get it taken over to Steve Walker in Edinburgh?

Any guidance would be very welcomed please.

Going to get out in my other car for a drive just now as I feel I need to and may well have a whisky or two later on.

Major thank you to Dezzy for coming out to see how I was and driving me home - top SE spirit as usual thanks again Dezzy I owe you a drink or two for that.

I'm fine thanks Mandy. Very shaken up, dinted pride and slightly sore where the seat belt caught me nothing a whisky or two won't fix .

Thanks Guys.

Feeling rather sore just now across my chest and side where the seat belt dug in. Damage rather bad as I hit a telegraph pole and then slid down a bank into a ditch. I am so glad I was going slow though as I dread to think what could have happened had I been driving any faster. Yes I am happy that I am fine and the car will get fixed. Tough little cars though and protect you very well.

Don't know about repairs over your way but can definately recomend Steve Walker.
