Just seen this... and to echo what everyone else has said.

Logic dictates that I wait 'till Spring to replace the car, though I have already been very tempted (oh, God am I tempted) by road-legal, 263bhp supercharged Cup Exige (full rollcage    /plumbed-in fire extinguisher    / race suspension & diff.m harnesses, etc., etc.) in  Krypton Green  Have not dared to suggest blowing savings on that, though my wife knows in which direction I'm leaning. There was the latest copy of Sport Auto waiting for me when I got home with the tested Exige 240R on the front cover  She commented on that being rather co-incedental. She even approves of Krypton Green... was this meant to be? 

Dude - way to raise the bar! Can't be a coincidence and what better way to celebrate being alive? I say go for it before the other half changes her mind, especially if it won't be there in the Spring...

If it helps, the only Exige I would have would be a supercharged one, just to restore some of the low down grunt the VVTi Exiges are missing

Take care,

Andy

fook glad you ok - cars can be repaired/replaced - brains cannot...

[meldert]

OMG! just read this... I'm glad you are relatively OK and alive... Sorry about the car, but look at the bright side, now it doesn't stand in the way of you getting the exige... Have been kind of down myself for the last few day since I crashed my Speedster on track during the weekend... I'm fine though but a bit sore... And the car will probably be fixable...

All the very best for a swift recovery Keith. Very shocked to read this. Main thing is that you are ok. Glad to hear that you have got the next car in your sights already, I think that's very important Adrian..

What can I say You have a great humour in light of what you have experienced & our sincere wishes go out to you for a fast recovery & many happy days to come in what ever car you choose to get next

[ajussi]

totally stunned keith - have just seen this and read your opening post - most of the time, with my hand over my mouth and for some of it over my eyes! so very relieved to know you are ok and already on the mend. lucky to be alive, is luck worth having, i think. wishing you a swift and full recovery - can't say it with enough weight, but is great to be reading your tale of woe, it could so easily have been silence or static. get an exige - you only live once! well kinda, lol.

[ChazUwe]

Jesus Speedy, sorry to hear about this terrible accident! As other have said it could have been a lot worse and it good news that you are relatively ok. Another testiment to this great little car! Hope you and the car get back to 100% very soon!

[Scottieb]

That one of the most shocking things ive ever seen on here. reading that made me think! So glad you are OK, hope you get well soon. Just goes to show how easy it can happen. All the best.

[Mick43]

Hello Mate! I've just read this and wanted to echo the thoughts and wishes of everyone before me. Best wishes for a speedy (no pun intented) recovery. 2005 hasn't been too kind to you and yours what with this and your brother in New Orleans. I hope 2006 is a better year for you all. With regard to funding your replacement vehicle. If you can afford it then get it and enjoy it. Life's too short! To quote my late father "As long as your family are provided for then its only money! You can't take it with you and there's no point in being the richest bloke in the graveyard." I look forward to hearing of your exploits in your new toy in the new year. It's difficult I know but try to resist the temptation of going back to work too early. Come back with a vengeance once you are fully recovered. Get well soon All the best Al.

Get well soon Speedy and good luck replacing the Speedster. I think you should go for the Krypton Green Exige, sounds like a brilliant car. Sounds like the sort of accident everybody dreads, your pictures definitely get my vote for a place on the calendar.
