Icy road + heavy right foot = one less Z on the road...

 

Entering the M3 at junction 6 southbound, took it easy through the roundabout and left turn onto the slip road, got on the gas just as I straightened up and next thing I know I'm heading backwards into the verge. :headvswal

Cars on the way home so I can inspect the damage in detail. Just found out the wife changed the insurance coverage from full comp to liability only two months ago as she was trying to reduce the premium! I'll put up some better pictures soon, I need some honest opinions on if it's worth repairing. After all the time I've put into getting it just the way I wanted it, my heart tells me to fix it, but my head says breaking time...

sorry to hear this mate. hope its all sorted along with traction control.

oh my god, Mark im so gutted for you. she always was a bit twitchy on the arse end.

glad your ok though. theres plenty of peolpe on here to lend a hand if need be including me. any thing you want mate just ask

Black Sunshine is prowling the streets of Winchester again!

:D :D :D :D :D

Everythings fixed and working as it should, took her out for a half hour test drive and still haven't wiped the grin off my face. Upgraded the front and rear suspension while I was at it, fully adjustable everything, and new Stillen anti sway bars. Will take it to Micheldever tyres tomorrow for alignment (and new rear tyres). New exhaust starting with the Smithy/Leon headers, decats, and HKS Hyper cat back. The sound is unbelievable and definitly picked up some power. Very pleased with myself, I think installing the headers was the biggest job but every job seemed to throw up a challenge. Anyway, tomorrow morning she will get a good wash and polish and I'll see how bad she's scratched. After that it's time to install the John Dixon chip...

Superb!!!!!! :bow: to you!!! What was the problem with the steering then bud?

 

Cheers,

 

Andy
