Crumbs - I'm pleased to know you're alive after those images - that is horrific.

 

[Trophy#110]

I'm a relatively young loon (20) with a Trophy and these pics just put the frighteners on me! Thanks for posting and you are VERY lucky to be alive!

 

[billythekid]

As seen on ebay one lady owner :shock:

Lucky to walk away from that

 

[Sam_K]

It will buff out...

Seriously though you are VERY lucky to get away with just a broken leg! And that you didnt have any passengers!

your insurance must be through the roof now!!

 

[Robh18]

had 1 passenger ... he got up and walked away once the firemen cut the door off

 

[moono16v]

WOW lucky to be alive!!

We are all guilty of having a blast...this just shows the risk! Glad your okay and be careful.

Those pics are scary to look at I don't want to imagine what it was like being in that. Good to hear you got out relatively unscathed compared to the wreck. Cars can be replaced people are a different story.

Cripes!! Still, glad your both alright, you have probably learned a lot from it! I take it nothing was really salvageable?

 

[Robh18]

nothing at all salvageable rims were buckled every panel damaged engine cracked engine mounts snapped recaros snapped in half steering wheel bent... even the rear view mirror smashed lol

 

[tallandy]

That is quite something, although I think it's actually a good thing to have been involved in accident as it lets you know you are definitely not invincible inside your car.

This is an accident I definitely wouldn't have wanted to be part of, and of course you know how lucky you and your passenger were

Glad you both made it and chalk it up as a lesson learned

 

[rickywilly]

Did somebody find you like that, or did your mate call emergency services e.t.c? Glad your okay though, a really nasty one that's for sure

 

[Robh18]

i was completely out cold. i had really bad head injury's as you can see from all the blood above my seat. my mate was conscious through out the accident, and rang my dad straight away whilst laying trapped upside down in a ditch. my dad was there within the next couple of minutes as the accident happened at the bottom of my road. my dad is a fire officer and whilst driving to my accident mobilised 2 fire engines.

I think "doing a Trophy 180" might become a well-used expression on this forum!
Seriously though, I don't want to sound like a smart a**e but 110 mph on a country lane - didn't the grey matter kick in at any point; like, this is a bit too fast if I have to slow down suddenly?
