All,
My wife saw a blue S in a bad way that was going southbound on the A24 around 3pm today, anyone know anymore ?

Fingers crossed everyone is ok.

Likewise.

Dunlop Winter Sports on the Toyobaru are behaving brilliantly now. I keep shifting standing water, looking to see if there's any sign of lift.

I saw it too! I had 3 texts asking if it was me ( even though mine is bloody black !)
I didn't see the driver , by the looks of things every one was ok, the car wasn't in the best of shape though !
Not sure what happened, I don't think there were any other cars involved.
Do you live local to Horsham then ?

Crashed after only 5 days??

Back to FF for him, for our insurance sake at least.

I saw it too on way back from work. Last week there was a silver one in the trees a few miles back near Horsham on the A24 - about 12 cars crashed that morning on the A24 near Horsham/Southwater on the northbound carriageway.

"just shocked as i enter roundabout put foot down when exiting, car goes side ways at 4k revs in 6th gear with one hand on wheel and started to fish tail, soon got me awake thinking i could take it easy and relax.

weather was cold and heavy rain."


Reading through that thread, he comes off a roundabout in 6th & 4K revs cold and wet! WTF speed does thast translate to? I think this idiot got what he deserves, and the rest of us will be paying higher insurence prmiums as a result of him driving like a dick.

EDIT - Oh yes he's a student so that makes him how old?
