Whoopsy!

Oh dear. Was on my way home last night from a mate's house, on the M25 in the Jag, coming up to the M4 exit.

Was doing 70 in the 'slow'lane ready to pull off left onto the slip exit (which is a long slip road).

There had been a previous incident of a vehicle fire on the hard shoulder, with the burnt out vehicle being loaded, but leaving a large wet greasy patch leaking onto the slip on an otherwise dry road.

I took the slip road and went over the greasy patch, and the back end broke away to the right, and then back to the left.

Then me and Jag did a slow 180 pirouette right across 4 lanes, and we ended up facing the wrong way buried in the crash barrier of the fast lane.

I'm fine, but it has stoved the Jag in down that side. I even drove it home, but waiting for insurance to write it off!!



Never a dull moment, and could have been a LOT worse, how I didn't hit anything and nothing hit me I will never know ...

Seen that happen before . . .

Not nice when you lose the ar$e end in a Jag as they're hard to gather up again.

thats scary, you could probably claim off the other guys insurance for leaving a grease patch on the motorway directly causing your accident..

glad to hear you're ok.. can you imagine if you'd been in a timy little car like a clio or something, could have been a lot worse for both you and the car.

time for a new daily driver ?

Doesn't look that bad, I know Jag spares are pricey but can't you just bodge it to the next MOT ???

I thought you could claim off the highway agency for things like that as they are responsible for any item left on the carriageway....

er... yeah, that'd probably be a better idea...

The later ones look better but the earlier ones go better - so I've heard.
