Sadly, I ended up in a bit of an accident at the start of Dec and my pride and joy was hurt. More annoyingly, this accident occurred at about 40-45MPH whilst driving in slow traffic. Went to go past a lorry in the middle lane and hit a patch of what I assume was diesel, car just slides and the front end flicks towards the back wheels of the 18 wheeler, I manage to counter it, but not as the car continues into the central reserve. Pride heals, the car doesn't!
Thankfully the lorry driver saw me in the side mirror and pulled over to offer assistance. Said he was spinning up as well, so I didn't feel like such a knob. Gave me his details and went on his way - thumbs up to him for being a nice guy!

Local body shop said its £3600 worth of damage, which I cannot see myself. 99.9% sure the insurer will write her off :-(
