I bet you shit bricks when you saw the armco getting closer head on. Very graceful :lol:
I think the armco and the car were very kind to you. Could have been a lot worse

..........and does anyone have any video of this??

Anyway.....i do like those black wheels. They still look the biz up in the air or otherwise 8)

god you must have traveled about 10ft on the armco, i still carnt understand how the hell
your wing mirror didnt get a scratch on it and looking at those pics things could have been so worse.

I have seen cars just glance the Armco and come away with way more damage, that really is amazing...
Sticker needed for that wing mirror, I went to Oulton and survived!!!

After closely studying the sequence of photos and taking into consideration the weather conditions of rain (in millimetres per second), wind velocity (metres per second), wind direction, light conditions (ambient lux), visibility (or lack of) due to proximity to other cars (spray density), point of slide, direction of rotation, axis of rotation, radius of rotation, moments of rotation, point of impact, speed of impact, direction of impact, angle of impact and a whole lot more that I can't think of. There's only one possible explanation and conclusion to explain the damage to both car and barrier.

YOU WERE GOING TOO FECKIN' SLOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's still incredible mate that you got away so frekin lightly ... it's just doesn't seem possible to compare the impact with the outcome ... !!!! .. how lucky were you !!! .. hope you bought lottery tickets straight afterwards.
