Ok, apologies, it's a little off topic, but I wrote my Hyundai Santa Fe off I only had it a few months after getting rid of the P38. I need a new car now. Any recommendations?

On the plus side, the in-car DVR for less than £15 off ebay (inc delivery) worked a treat. It was this one:
1280P HD 2.5" LCD Night Vision Car CCTV DVR Accident Camera Video Recorder UK | eBay
Well worth getting one for the price. It comes with a really long 12v lead too. You just need a SD card for it.

And if you want to see what happened to my car, here is the video:

At least we were all ok...

Holy ****!!

glad you're ok though!!

on the plus side Nik, I never got round to collecting the height blocks from you, and I have now bought a Nanocom as I'm only 2 mins drive from you, you're welcome to borrow it if you buy another P38 and when it goes wrong (I mean needs extra loving)

Bloody hell Nik!

+1 well handled.

Had a blow out on the M1 a few years ago in my A6 but not nearly as dramatic as that.
Upside at least is your thinking of another P38......go on, go for the V8

Very well handled. Main thing is you and everyone in the car were unharmed, cars can be replaced
