Midlands Garden Rail - This Weekend!

Oh dear...
There was a car in the central barrier..
No lights! No warning. I was just not quick enough to avoid it. Clipped the front offside corner. Looks minor considering, but no drive.
04:35 for recovery, so if I make it to the venue tomorrow, I may be very tired..
:(

I hope you are OK, @PhilP. Cars often have a fuel cutout that is triggered by inertia -it could be that.
Good luck for today!

Sorry to hear that Phil, worse case scenario on the road at night.

Car runs, but no drive, so gearbox / clutch / differential, I assume?

Anything on a motorway you can walk away from is a bonus. It could have been so much worse.

Must give you a big logistics issue as your stand is all set up with your stuff to secure and get home.
 
Hope your both OK, must have been a hell of a shock at that time of morning.

It's an aspect of exhibiting at shows that rarely gets considered - hope the car is repaired swiftly. The nerves can be settled with a stiff scotch ;)
