I was late leaving so got caught in the scrum getting out - accident on the 25 before M1 - car on its roof up the embankment another one behind it - plenty of other smaller shunts involved think all were ok but spray was BAD. Thanks for AandA Dunc. - good to see rest of yer - van looks the biz John

We went past that smash too Mike- nasty!

It was all a bit of a mad rush for me- we never got there til 12.
I just had time to sort selling my hood, found Bacca to hand over a prop end, had a quick chat with Pete and Blue, a nod at Dunc... Took ages to find Dale and lug my new hood over to it's transport home. By the time that was all done everyone had packed up and were heading out the gate
So no time to mooch round the shiny things, and I'll have to catch up with the rest of you next time

BTW- thanks for all the warnings about the weather there... i wasn't disappointed

Wartin and I caught that smash on the M25 as it happened.........what we saw was a small yellow saloon like an Astra spinning in the opposite lanes, then it hit the bsrrier and sprayed my ginges car with mud and grit and exploding lights etc, when we looked clearly we saw two cars on the bank, one on it's roof with steam pouring out of it, the other next to it..........all the traffic had stopped and it looked to be all over
Whe U dropped Marty boy off we had a look and found an inch long gouge in the drivers door where the shrapnell had caught us, mud on the front and rear side glsss
I can't see how they nanaged to crash with all those Bananarama! 50mph speed limits for non existent road works anyway, unless they were bored
