Been busy with some shows lately.
Players, Edition obviously, camping holiday to the Isle of Weight, this sunday we're going to be at Westside
Not been the best few days unfortunately.
I was in a pretty serious car accident.
Driving down a main A-road a woman was tailgaiting us the whole way. So close we could not see her headlights!!! As we approached a roundabout leading onto a dual carriadgeway she backed off and the next thing I know, we've facing the wrong way and her car is deep within some foliage. The road was a 50mph limit at the time, I reckon she hit us at at least 50, more like 60. We got span 180 and ended up on a grassy verge.. it all seemed so slow motion at the time.. Everyone says that but you never really realise it until it happens.
The car with the boot open (Merc) was an off duty police office who was actually the most helpful of them all... on-duty coppers didn't really seem bothered at all. They reluctantly took my name and address and a brief statement. The paramedic got more information than the police did from me!!!
The car on the left with the 2 guys who stopped to help, about 20 feet infront of them is the womans car (who hit us) in the bush (not in that picture), then you can our car sat the wrong way on the exit of the roundabout lol
Nursing a lot of neck pain. On some pretty strong painkillers which is kind of trippy but not doing much for the pain unfortunately. Sicky feeling not helping.
.... thankfully it was not in my car. In my mates Corsa VXR. Not nice for him, he bought it brand new, 62 plate, 12k on the clock. Rear floor plan all pushed up, carpet looked like it was pitching a tent in the boot - rear 3/4 all damaged and scuffed, drivers door, front wing/bumper, nearside wheels, almost certainly a write off. :(
A couple of photos to lift the mood from WED meet on Saturday where I limped to the day after the crash (which happened Friday night around 10;30). Not a good idea the pain from driving was agony.
I did notice some sanding marks in the bonnet from the respray job.
I must have missed them when I was looking over the car. Following a falling out with the bodyshop due to their piss poor customer service and one member of staffs particularly terrible attitude, yes Shaun I'm talking to you - (Ridgeway Paint and Body Center in Newbury) That's another thing I'm going to have to tackle myself. We'll see if we can machine it out. If not I'll speak to a buddy who does professional detailing (the kind chap who did my whiles) who can wet sand (I'm not comfortable wet sanding my car lol)
But need to wait till I'm better for that.
Hope all is well with everyone anyway. If you're at Westside come say hi.
