Wilse's St. Valentine's Day Massacre (well almost)

[Wilse]

Almost killed the girlfriend and myself on Saturday morning.

Came off the road, in the Highlands, in the middle of nowhere, at
60mph.
Crashed through a fence, bounced onto the cars right side (driver's),
over a ditch, continued to plough through a field, with tufts of grass
gliding towards the windscreen then underneath underneath me and
watched the windscreen crack in trippy slow motion. We ended up with
the roof of the car resting against the cable stay of a telegraph
pole, which stopped the car from toppling onto its roof but meant the
pole almost toppled onto the car - it ended up leaning at a very weird
angle, kind of hovering over us.

Luckily (miraculously? :lol: ) we both escaped out the passenger
window without a scratch.

The car is a complete write off, which is a shame financially as it
was only insured for 3rd party, fire and theft.

Still, at least we're alive to complain about the cost. ;-)

Damn right it wasn't nice.

Scared the bejeezurs out of Sue.
She thought we were dead. (Looking at the car afterwards, you'd be
forgiven for thinking we were.)

@Kenny:

It was the A82, just past Crianlarich, on the way to Glencoe.

@Odin:

Although the road was icy (watched someone else have a nasty skid
at the same spot, while waiting for the police to arrive) the accident
was entirely my fault. Lack of concentration, combined with extremely
poor driving ability. :-/

@Abou27:

Luckily we went off the left hand side of the
road, which was very bumpy but sort of flat-ish.

The right hand side was bordered by a very steep drop to a rocky burn.

Would have been a lot worse.
