You guys will know me from Edinburgh Cruise as puppy.

Dont post that much but i DID drive a R19 16v untill this happened on Wed night .

Here is a pic of her before the crash

Coming home there was a lane swap just before the forth road bridge and as i changed lanes the back end stepped out and i sorted it and it went again and i lost the lot and let it do its thing.
I THINK that i went onto the other side of the road and the coach hit the back end which flipped the car and then rolled it and we also hit a pole which you can see from the roof behind the drivers side. If the pole hit above my head i woudl have been dead.

I was taken to hospital and X-Rayed and they found 1 crack in my neck . . next morning the doctor came round saying there was 2 cracks in my neck. Got strapped too my bed and was not allowed too move untill i had the CT scan.

only time my chamade stepped out at the back was when one of my rear tyres had very low pressure.
