Scottish Elises

Well today started off being a fantastic day - was down at Croft for a TD. We had sunshine in the morning then rain in the afternoon. Really enjoyed getting to know the car even more.
Then headed off at 3 to start heading back up to the Burgh as the rain was getting worse and I was concerned about the cars ability to clear standing water so headed back up cruising slowly after a great day of RL.
Disaster stikes!
I got to within 20 miles of Edinburgh going up the A1 around the 100s of roundabouts when disaster did strike.
Coming out of one of the roundabouts the car just went. I had actually had come out of the round about and was on the straight in 5th gear at low revs say 40mph and then the back just went. I then proceeded to spin half on the grass half on the road . I think the car was doing maybe 5-10mph on impact.

Jamie cars can be fixed - just glad you are all right

Really sorry to hear this mate, as you said the combo of rain and diesel and hot weather is not good.

Main thing is your fine

Hope you get it sorted out soon

Jamie,

Gutted for you - I think you have just recently got that car (SC Honda)?

Fingers crossed that that is not a write-off though.

Good luck,

Frank

Glad you're all right - car'll mend - take the lamp post home and use it fix up the diffuser - jobs a carrot !

That'll fix - but it will be slightly expensive

I think this is the first diesel-related crash post I've seen on S_E - sorry to hear it Jamie.

Agreed value with Insurers?

Bugger, doesn't look too bad mate. Would be a shame to write off a car like that.

That's bad - and the car was going so well - maybe it's not a bad as you fear - aren't these posts designed to fall over and it may not have done too much damage?

Glad to hear you're OK.
