OUCH !!!!
Yes I'm still alive, you don't get rid of me that easily
Though I'd just post a few pics of the accident scene, and a little information as to what happened...
We were traveling north on the M1 at 8am, I was in the middle of the convoy in the outside lane, behind Mark (FlatEric) doing about 70, as wev'e travelled along, there was suddenly a patch of deep snow in the outside lane, to cut a long story short, the backend of my cxar decided, it didn't want to follow the front end out of the deep snow, and the backend started to slide, I tried to corrent this back the car started to fishtail, until it spun out of control, sliding sideways across the remaining lanes and down the grass verge where the wheels dug into the mud, and clipped the curb, forcing the car to roll,onto the on slip lane.
B4
B-after
I'd just like to say thanks to everyone for there support, and thanks for keeping an eye on me today, it means alot.
It make you realise what a great club the ESC is and what a great bunch of people are within it
Big thanks and much respect to Nick, who stayed with me all day, and drove me home, sorry for the mess in your car mate
ESC
Mark

The Missus has just read the Paramedics report, and commented on the fact that even after my accident, I still had a normal pulse rate

Didn't think Nick's driving was that bad.
Very scary moment this morning, really didn't know what I was going to find when I reached the car, so glad you were out already and not badly injured.
Drivers side almost completely undamaged. You were one lucky barsteward.

Me and Wilf saw it happen,we pulled over and I legged it down the embankment to Mark, just as I got there, he was kicking the windscreen out!! Was totally amazed at how calm Mark actually was!!!!
If you need a ride mate, give me a shout!
Don't want to see anything like this happen again!

Mark,
I can't believe what happened...
I couldn't help feeling guilty yesterday, knowing that this happened to you because you had taken the time out to come up and see me.
TBH that goes to all the ESC who came up to see/watch me and not only did you all have to stand in the cold and not get the chance ti go round the pits (WTF!!!!).
Sorry mate, but i am so glad your OK!!!
But then something like this
