RIP SP240

[Anonymous]

I comming home from my sister in laws house last nigh when I had a wee accident. I was doing about 50ish was not going fast hit a couple of hidden dips and lost the back end into a hedge and a field. Spent to hours in the hospital and given the all clear. The car is FUBAR'D so there goes the only TTE Turbo in Ireland.









TTE style bar still intact











I know its only a car but it was my car and it is now going to be a right off but it probably saved my life.

That hardtop saved your head I reckon...

Good that you're okay!

[Wabbitkilla]

Likewise - glad you're ok mate.

[philster_d]

Looks a bit too close to that concrete as well. Phew.

Looking at it today the hardtop and style bar all helped protect me the drivers side looks ok far better than the passengers side.

[Stifler]

Jesus, that looks horrendous, glad your ok thats the main thing.

Sorry about the car  s:( s:(

Ouch man...   s:cry: :cry: s:cry:  
I know it's a cliché and it probably doesn't help to cheer you up right now, but your wellbeing is the most valuable thing you have, and you still have that!
It is a sorry sight though; was a really nice car...   s:( s:(  
Seems like it did a pretty good job of protecting its occupant(s).

hit a couple of hidden dips and lost the back end into a hedge and a field.

Did it happen in a corner or a straight line?

Cheers mate.

There are 3 dips two of them before the corner one of them in the corner I think it was the last one that got me. I tried to hold it but went up the bank fo about 30 yard and the went over the bank and traveled for about 30 yards only went over once I think.

Jeese - sorry to see that Simon - glad that you are ok.

Can you get the turbo off of it, or is it pooped and put it on Nicolas car, or at least salvage it for your next vehicle - I am sure that there are vultures out there who will be after bits - the C-One vents for example   s:? :? s:?

[Anonymous]

The c-one vents are all scraped and I couldn't get the drivers side one off anyway but the engine bay looks to be ok apart from the bent exhaust tips might be able to get some bits of the car. Once they lift the car and have it the right way round then I will be able to get a good look at what I can get at.

[custardavenger]

Glad your ok mate. I guess you know how luck you are. I hope the insurance goes smooth for you.

[loadswine]

As everyone else has said, thank goodness you are okay.
That looked a real nasty.
The car was superb, so great shame, but at least you're here and able to talk to us.

[celmacmat]

Glad you are OK simon, look horrible   s:shock: :shock: s:shock:

everybody else has said it already but glad to hear your ok, it only a car. So immortal  question, are you going to get a new car and transfer the parts??

i don't know yet I will need to see what £££ I get fromthe insurance company I did have gap insurance as well so that should help. I am thinking about it but dont know if I could really go through it all. The engine should be fine so getting the turbo stuff would be ok and all those bits but it might just never be the same.

I have been thinking about a change to a subaru or the like lots of second hand cars about for silly money. Who knows.

[spit]

Ouch. Thankfully your car has done its sacrificial bit to protect you. Nice to know you were able to walk away from that in one piece.

[ninjinski]

Mate glad you are OK that looks like one scary situation to end up in - You are very lucky to be in one piece. Main thing is you are OK. Major bummer - feel for you mate!!   s:cry: :cry: s:cry:

[NorthandSouth]

So glad you walked away albeit with a trip to hospital.  Cars can be replaced...you cant!!!!

Well done to the car for alowing you to write this post I say.
Like everyones said, grab what you can from it before they crush the little baby.

Surely gap insurance is to cover you if the car is stolen and not recovered?.. although I could be wrong.
