Cheers Monki, going to be keeping an eye on that spoiler, even though it sickens me. Cheers again, Shaun.

He seemed sure of himself that it was not stolen, but could have been bumped or knocked off during transit. I mean, these things hand on pretty well at 150mph, something tapping it isn't going to make it fall off!

Just off the phone with the vehicle inspector, was asking about the car, mileage, cost, spec etc. Was almost sick to the stomach to hear him ask, was the spoiler knocked off in the accident?........................ I am raging!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Update: Heard back from A-Plan yesterday, the car is a total loss as expected. They asked me to forward the usual documents, V5, insurance certificate, MOT certificate and also all service costs and receipts I had so that the insurance company can research what the car would be worth today or something along those lines. So fingers crossed that the offer is fair and also hoping to buy it back to break for parts. It's going to be heartbreaking to see again, but I'd rather break it than some scrappy. I'll keep you posted how things turn out, I know a lot of people have been asking for parts already. Cheers, Shaun.

Yeah, that was mine. It was being collected from Burgoynes to be taken and inspected.

Cheers again guys for the kind words. Phoned the insurance company today to get an update, they are still waiting for the inspection report, will probably hear back from them on Tuesday. Have posted the pictures to the insurance company for my own peace of mind, they would normally just base their decision on the Police's accident report, but anything I do to help is always an advantage. My insurance broker is A-Plan and they are doing a top notch job for me and come highly recommended. I'll keep you all posted on the events happen. Thanks again, Shaun.

Thanks very much for the kind words, some even brought a chuckle to my bruised torso. ha ha She was not pregnant, otherwise it would've been an ambulance job for her, but she just trundled home with her pal. As much as I'm upset that the car's totalled, I'm ok, she was ok and as many say cars can be replaced, lives can't. Although I'll say this - Airbags are nasty. I never made contact with it, but the burns on my arms are killing me and just after the accident, the inside of that car with the 2 deployed airbags was a horrible place to be. The heat generated from them is undescribeable and the smell, well, you can't breathe. I really don't want to be in that situation again. Thanks again guys, I'll keep you posted on how things go with the insurance company. Shaun.

This is a video on the run up to the spot where the accident happened. Please excuse dodgy workmate cam....

Was involved in a head on collision with a Corsa Tuesday lunchtime. On the road from Glen Village (Hallglen) to The Three Kings (Shieldhill). Approaching the "S" bend and was struck head on by the Corsa. She was completely on my side of the road and we both had no time to avoid each other. The car is almost certainly written off as the roof has crumpled just past the B-pillars. Sadly I shall not be replacing it with another one, despite enjoying every second of ownership, except the ones that cost money that is. Both myself and the other driver escaped un-injured with only minor burns from the Air-bag going off and bruising from the seatbelts. Shaun..

Looked like a good night. I'm sure I've seen that P1 parked just round the corner a few times from where I stay in Brightons. Is it owned by Scott that used to work in Millers some years back?

I'll be there. Shaun

OPINIONS AND ADVICE PLEASE RE BRAKES
shaun_odonnell replied to the blue dragon's topic in Scottish Scoobies
Check out Godspeed brake upgrades. AWD in Perth sorted my P1 out with them. Good price aswell. -
Blitz - Avoid. K&N - Better Apexi - Can't really do much better.
