made me feel sick when i saw that poor car coming round the track on the back of the truck!

Glad your ok Andy, could have been a lot worse..
good luck with whatever you decide to do with the car! It would be a real shame not to build another one..

Matt..

my mrs reckons everyone that was there should donate Ł1 to him to help rebuild it

from the pics that looks an easy repair for andy, having seen some of the cars he has repaired and to the standard he works (speed and quality) that will be repaired, he has the jig that made teh car, and the skill to repair it if he so wishes.

Glad your ok, at least now it has just proved that not only does AG motorsport build quality fast great handling cars, but that has just proved that safety is also in there as well - makes me feel even better that mine was done there !!

I was a passager rider in the Silverstone Lotus car when the track was red flagged and as we approached the corner, we saw the full damage of his car!

Then we was back to the pit stopw aiting for the road to be cleared and I saw the car being towed away - have some pics which I will upload later.

Glad to hear he's okay.
