I am! Took about 2 months to recover the bruised ribs but made it out. The Schroth belts were ace and I didn't hit my head on the roll cage, thank you lowered floors.

That’s good to hear!

Glad to hear you're okay. Hopefully the insurance company treats you well.

Damn that sucks, what happened? The car looks very fixable - i've seen some gnarly crash vids of UK 7s racing with rapid repair and return to the track in short order.

I'll never know for sure, but I had been playing so much with the suspension I think I left something loose, the car snap oversteered faster than I could ever imagine and I couldn't catch it. Either way it's entirely my fault, not the concrete wall's fault. Wasn't even speeding!

 

Frame is bent, cracked front and rear, all cross beams have a bend in them. Drivetrain, cooling, supercharger, interior is perfect other than the LSD probably. Bruce quoted a new frame. Hagerty Fixed Price has me covered, thank goodness!

 

I've spent so long on this car I can't fathom putting it back together again and then crashing 600 more miles down the road. If I lived by the caterham factory, that would be a different story.
