Cheers Capt. - I was fine at the scene, only had 2 Ibuprofen off the ambulance crew!?

 

Aye Dave - in one narrow lane of motorway with little lower speed 'catching' experience I could'nae have caught it. Hahah, diesel-excuses will have to do!

 

Cheers Claws - I did think of you and now a devout convert to FA NA FTW!

 

Rust - yeah, the day after NW Christmas bash. 6 weeks to the day.

Glad you're ok. I guess you were lucky you hit the small wispy tree rather than the harder looking big fat one next to it. Seems the car did its job. Near side rear tyre looking a bit low? Ex jakepeg and then vanquish iirc.

[mark_vx]

glad to see you are OK after that. A lesson for all of us to take notice of I think!

[CocoPops]

Wow. Good effort! Glad you walked away.

[moospeed]

I'm sure it'll polish out? Looks like a very lucky escape for you if not the car. The 'saint' in jasesaint was watching out for you. Get yourself over to the 'believe in God thread'. Based on the early comments on this thread it sounds like there's a few converts lol Must say, those pics look pretty scary :S

[Hark]

You lucky git, pictures are grim mate.

[Rickwoo118]

Just seen this and my god are you lucky to not get injured. The car is a right mess. Really feel for you and I hope it hasn't put you off motoring for a while?

[Darcini]

I think I'm either going to start believing in a God or fit traction control. Luckily I'm on the Race Logic group buy. Glad you survived that

[Ormes]

Glad you are OK... bet that was a frightening experience

[leevx2.2]

Jesus glad you are ok ,car held up well considering the impact .

[GiGo]

As others have said glad your ok    

 

Looks pretty bad from the pics, can't believe you remembered what  happened/what you did to correct etc... 

[Goosenka]

So glad you are safe and well Jase.

I did hit the big one square on - you can see the score mark on the bark about 3-4ft up the trunk, I'd snapped one of the branches on the way in and the wispy tree helped soften the roll and slow me down. I think the tyres are caked in mud tbf - tread looks deeper on salvage yard pic. I had no choice but to be driving next day and luckily backwards/mud meant I didn't see it unfold. Thanks for all the support, great cars we all got/had and this is an endorsement rather thsn trying to scare people. Any other car wouldn't have put me in that spin but no other car would have held up so brilliantly. I'd have another but need to be sensitive and sensible for my family. Next powerful one would have 4 channels ABS/fair weather use or NA FTW for my driving ability. Yeah car's long term history was Leicester, converted by Jak, ran last summer by Vanquish and as you can see not survived the winter.

Wow! Glad to see you walked away from that one unscathed! Tough little buckets

 

Yeah that

[pezley]

Glad you weren't hurt, amazing testament to the strength of the tub but it's a shame we only get to appreciate that when something like this happens. All the best fella

[MartinS]

Always worrying to see how easily these cars can sometimes leave the road with out provocation, but a testament to some decent underlying design that people keep coming out unscathed.

 

Great to see your ok.

Not nice to see and glad you are ok. Good on you for holding your hands up to giving it too much throttle. Most people will of had scary moments in these cars it's just some are lucky enough not to hit anything.

[jonnyboy]

Bugger me that is one spectacular crash glad to hear you are Ok. That could have turned out a lot different for you!

[Tuuurtle]

Wow hard pictures to look at, glad to hear that you're ok. For as much as they look horrific when they are crashed, VX's do a good job of protecting the occupants!
