Default RIP - Red S2000 - Now with pics

Well chaps, add another one to CC's list. Iv'e managed to write my car off yesterday. Hit a stream of water, aquaplaned, lost control and ended up upside down in a field.
Luckily my passenger managed to get out and get help. I was trapped upside down for around 30 min while some people with a crowbar managed to open my door.
It was a scary experience I can tell you, all the time my thoughts were of fire as I wouldn't have been able to escape.
Got took to hospital by ambulance so Iv'e not seen the car yet but have been told it's definitely a write off.
Most important thing is that I have escaped totally unharmed apart from stiff shoulders & neck and my passenger just suffered from a cut head.

So everyone - please be careful out there !

Good to hear you're ok. Must have been the longest 30 minutes of your life.

And so the winter begins....

Glad to hear you walked away unscathed. Ending up upside down is no mean feat (eh, Craig? ) - that's got to put you pretty high up on the Carper's list!

Have you given any thought yet as to whether you will get another S or use the insurance pay-out to try something different.

Bad shit that mate.

But you will not be the only one this season. I`ve got to take mine for an MOT in the morn so I'll probably write it off on the way.

Pics when you're ready please.

That sounds nasty indeed. Glad your ok.

Being a borderline claustrophobic, that would have really $hit me up.
