luckly to be alive !

Sorry to hear this happened. But I'm glad your ok after what looks like a very big crash.

With all modern tech its easy to forget how much of a handful these cars once were. I know because mines a real killer in greasy conditions. With out ABS and traction control its easy to loose it with out even doing anything.

I fish tailed at the M25/A41 junction last winter thought i was a goner. Lucky it found grip and came back. Took me the rest of the day to unpucker

Johnny do you have any pre-crash pictures?
 
Oh man the pictures looks terrible, RIP 930. :nooo:

Health is priority though and I hope you recover quickly mate.

Regards
G

G, with all your expertise, surely you can polish that out? :grin:
 
Glad to see you're recovering, which I'm sure doesn't feel most important thing when you've just lost your pride n joy. :(

It's not much help I know but it's certainly better to feel like you've lost a limb than to actually lose one so I guess you can thank the car for that.

Here's to a speedy recovery.
