I heard about your news today at Leuchars. The phone was ringing asking if it was me in the crashed Lotus. Really sorry to hear your news, and heard it was a nasty one. At least you are here to tell the tale, and i am sure we will all take more care now on these roads in this terrible weather.

Mmmmmmmmm looks like it could be a write off!!!

The structure of the car seems to have held together well, which probably saved your life. They are strong little cars.

Bad luck, at least you can walk away from it and buy another one.
