Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms National Hillclimb round at Wiscombe

Keith, pleased you appreciated the update - when Wiscombe put day 2 up I'll forward it on.

In the event I never got to Wiscombe as some punt in a Porsche Taycan decided to overtake us in the Puma on the "on" slip of the A38 at Buckfastleigh to find something on the carriageway so ended up crashing into us on the drivers side such that his nearside scraped along our car, his rear nearside wheel took out our front right alloy and tyre. With this the Puma accident control applied full brakes on which of course took the other alloy and tyre out. So no steering or brakes and we are heading towards a mini which is broadside stradling both lanes so we just brace as we have been passengers since the tyres went. The only saving grace was that this was all at low speed and the airbags did not deploy.

I ran back and checked the occupants of the Mini were ok which they were, and as I said it was a low speed incident thankfully.

We have an independent witness who was also interviewed by the police and corroberated our experience.

The police breathalized drivers and took a full witness statement from me and the others, my result was zero.

We have a Police log reference and we wait and see what happens next as our insurers pursue him for all costs.

I have a full set of damning photographs so the fully tattoed shaven headed lump of excrement will find no hiding space - he had tailgated us for 15 miles or so....the police have cctv of this.

Our car with less that 6k on it I imagine will be written off but it protected us well with it's alloy panels crumpling away just as a Morgan does absorbing the impacts so we were lucky and the police woman went above and beyond.

Wiscombe next year.
