One Less CSL on the Road - Page 3

Pip1968 · 26-05-2011, 07:05 AM

Always a shame to see a lovely car go that way but at least you seemed to have come out unscathed, physically at least. I take it you opted not to buy what was left as you could have had a nice garage sale.

Can I ask what the settlement figure was. I obviously understand if you do not want to say.

I was only reading yesterday about the CSL which was involved in a big pile up with a German GT3 RS on the Nordschleife. Was that anyone on here? It must have been a while ago now although settlement appears to have been recently completed. All the usual hassles of insurance cover for British cars on a 'toll road'.

Wow, that's a big jump.

Glad it's settled and you have a clean break.

Oh shit Simon, that's not good at all. Sorry to see this, I'm sure you got a huge fright but I suppose whichever way it happened, you done the right thing and avoiding a head on. (Apologies if I'm reading the situation wrong)

Will you buy another?

Sorry to see this mate, glad you walked away.

Jesus that was a serious slap allright, lucky choppy that she didn't role on you.
I know exactly how you feel. I wrote off my last one after 34 hours of ownership ha ha, it was a minter, 8k on the clock. ( it ended back on the road )
I then bought one of the slightly slower grey ones.

ouch - but i am glad you're ok. Metal can be replaced.

Sorry to see that Simon, glad you were ok, and pay out all sorted. Respect to you mate

... for obviously not lifting

judging by the distance travelled and the amount of hardcore you took out, Cecil went down screaming at 6000 rpm I hope ! Look forward to you getting back into one.

Cheers for the thoughts folks,

I'm going to hang fire for the time being as there are some grown up things to buy first.

I may well come back to the fold though; I still think the CSL is the best sub-£50k car money can currently buy.

Glad it all worked out well, and you are here & have the money to get back into a CSL.
