One Less CSL on the Road

Pip1968 · 26-05-2011, 07:05 AM

Always a shame to see a lovely car go that way but at least you seemed to have come out unscathed, physically at least. I take it you opted not to buy what was left as you could have had a nice garage sale.

Can I ask what the settlement figure was. I obviously understand if you do not want to say.

I was only reading yesterday about the CSL which was involved in a big pile up with a German GT3 RS on the Nordschleife. Was that anyone on here? It must have been a while ago now although settlement appears to have been recently completed. All the usual hassles of insurance cover for British cars on a 'toll road'.

Wow, that's a big jump.

Glad it's settled and you have a clean break.

Oh shit Simon, that's not good at all. Sorry to see this, I'm sure you got a huge fright but I suppose whichever way it happened, you done the right thing and avoiding a head on. (Apologies if I'm reading the situation wrong)

Will you buy another?

Jesus that was a serious slap allright, lucky choppy that she didn't role on you.
I know exactly how you feel. I wrote off my last one after 34 hours of ownership ha ha, it was a minter, 8k on the clock. ( it ended back on the road )
I then bought one of the slightly slower grey ones.
