Got a mid morning call from my best mate, he had a moment on the M40 this morning going to work and despite been an ace driver could not stop the 180 spin into the barrier!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Good news he walked away unhurt, which is the most important, but his zed of 14 years ownership is looking less well, thank goodness for the barrier which stopped this been a very different outcome.

 

Jeff TT

always sad to see a zed this way but glad your mate is ok

Ouch! For a moment I thought it was your they look the same

14 years!.. Heartbreaking :-( glad no one was hurt

Glad to here your mate is OK, shame about that once stunning Zed.

Ouch! For a moment I thought it was your they look the same

 

Yes they are the same, colour bumpers etc. although as his is left hand drive when we parked them along side each other they looked like mirror images.....well did.

 

Jeff

what caused the spin?

Ouch :( glad your mate is ok Jeff, that's the main thing. Will it be repaired?

glad he is ok .. may of been different if it was a RHD ..

what caused the spin?

 

Not got the exact details yet but he was leaving the motorway on a long right hand curve....

I spy tasty goodies.

You bad boy!! not the first to ask though..:whistling:

Gutted after 14 years...........

I dont need anything but I spotted the brakes and they ain't even cold yet

ouch that sight is familiar :(

Take away from this experience how well a car of that age stood up to an impact, inspires confidence in the build quality :)

 

Hope he can get it fixed/appropriately recompensed!

I echo everyone else, good to see he walked away unharmed

 

It's a real shame about the car, he's put a lot of work into it but big bits of metal on 4 wheels can be replaced

14 years of ownership and that happens :crying: Glad he is ok but he must be so gutted. Wish him all the best from us Jeff.

A very sad end to a lovely zed :( Glad he's wasn't hurt.

Is it junction 10? I think that's the one with a crazy long bend to enter or exit the motorway.

 

Glad he is ok. But shame the car isn't. Stood up well to the impact tho.

That looks like it could of hurt! Glad your friend is ok

Glad your friend is alright Jeff! Just shows how well built these cars are.
