Picked up car from WGT this morning.
During the journey on motorway it was building snow fall n slush on lanes which made the 7 wobbly to drive on parts of the lanes.
Ended up on the slow line of motorway going 40-50 followinging the clear tyre for a long tense slow driving time.
Ended up hitting a pile of slush which made me lose control swagging left to right which I tired to correct but end up hitting the barrier on the overtaking lane area which smashed in the front end, really heartbroken n angry about myself as funds r really low due to WGT for the build.
Heard car is currently in a recovery centre which I don\'t know what the next steps r to do.
 Pictures will follow, any help will be appreciated... :(:Grrr:confused::(

Gutted. See what the damage is, might just be panel, not structural damage. If its just panel damage then don\'t claim on insurance.

Michael, really gutted for you. I enjoyed your build thread and the attention to detail.
Hope the damage is easily repaired.
 
Good Luck.

Gutted to hear this,as you are one of the few that use high spec parts and the best of the best!
Sounds like your ok though and car doesn\'t look too bad, and hopefully fixable!

Am ok but guess it could have been worse....

My friend who followed me down took me home n left the scene of my car there, they told me to contact Weston recovery which am not sure of, anyone know who to contact? But then again I don\'t even know to tow this car back home or what....

Really gutted for you - beautiful car, as others have already said. It\'s easy to get caught out in those sort of conditions.

Fingers crossed that it\'s mainly cosmetic and you can get it sorted.

Glad your ok mate.   First thing to do is get it back home ASAP. As recovery cost and storage will soon add up.   Get it home and assess the damage there.
V8 fd\'s rock :cool

Sorry for you fella, but as TRIND said get it home asap! If it is beyond repair get a new shell and let the Phoenix rise from the ashes.
