For those of you who are lucky enough to not be friends with me on facebook here are a few pics of the biggest scariest crash I've ever had (out of 2), was a very high speed off involving lots of spinning, praying and so much good luck. This just happened this morning so my immediate thoughts were of course, to the internet!!!
Here I am shaken, stirred and on the rocks in the highway agencies clean up van, recounting to them how a massive gorilla blocked my path....
The new slip road I decided to take, note I started spinning on the motorway so managed to liberally distribute stones everywhere!
part of my newly forged exit lane
Part of my transition area, I showed off a bit and spun here a few times
I'd have stayed here longer if the services were better equipped
an arty shot
With some help from the boys in blue and the highways guys they pushed me and escorted me to a nearby sliproad where I could more closely examine my very dirty underwear
The damage, basically grass and mud everywhere, tracking feels a bit off and a mild judder under braking, car is booked into Ocean BMW for thursday
up on the ramps in the local garage, the police are charging me with theft of roadside dirt, forna and assorted grasses
But very seriously this scared the bejesus out of me, if I'd come off anywhere else in any other conditions I would have hit trees, armco, more than likely flipped, spun and more than likely be in a bad way.
For the detectives, I very definitely had DSC on, my tyres are contisport m3s and have plenty of tread, I blew 0.0 on the breathlizer and I reckon I was doing around 70, the weather was horrendous there are as I'm sure you know storms down here (cornwall) so there were very high winds, lots of surface water and I well and truly ran out of talent. So don't just assume your cars computers will save you like I did, because they won't, don't or can't.....
stay safe kids.. tl;dr - I crashed my car

or even better get some winter tyres and drive slower through standing water!
