Actually, moving away from my flippant and unsympathetic jibes, hopefully there were no fatalities and all involved will heal and mend in the fullness of time. That Aston Martin looks a beauty but it doesn't have a soul.

Any RTA is a sobering reminder to all of us just what MIGHT happen.....even with the best driving skills , if another idiot drives into you or forces you off your intended course, there really ain't too much you can do about it .

Stay safe guys !!!

Since when has a DB5 been worth a million quid?

One driver said 'It was a silver DB5 just like Daniel Craig in Skyfall'

Yeah and he trashed his as well

Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan never put a scratch on it when they drove it

other red car was an Astra apparently.

Looking at some of the pics of the pass side, the door shuts all seem to be nice and straight still and once the bent panels are off, it's probably not going to be too bad.
It's fixable, and will see the road again.

Cars of that value tend not to get written off. Hardly think we'll be seeing it listed on Copart in a few weeks time!!!
