Default Wounded Cat

Long story short my XJR is a bit worse off today

I was in the M4 freeway yesterday doing 110kph and a Seni Trailer changed lanes into me!!!

Its a 6 lane divided road and I had a car in front blocking me and a second semi on the left of me. The one that hit me was trying to push another car faster got the sh@@s and turned into me.
Add to the fact trucks are limited to 100kph and we were doing 110kph already the guy was a cowboy with a speed limiter removal

I have had this before and was able to get out of it with the aid of the supercharged v8 but this time i was completely blocked in with no ability to swerve, brake or accelerate. My only defense was the horn. that helped as he got on the brakes and managed to just run the trucks bull bar down the side of the car.
So the upshot is a trashed rear bumper and rear quarter. So I guess im looking for an x358 rear bumper now!!!

PS. He did not stop as wel, I attempted to get him to pull over and got the finger. Police were alerted and I got his plate. So he is now facing a nice bill and charges for leaving the sceans and disabling the speed limiter. The cops were great and are presently moving to sleaze the truck for inspection.

Cheers

Glad you're ok and the cat is rrelatively ok, be sure to have everything thoroughly checked on her.

This side of the pond, fleeing the scene would get him hefty fines and revocation of his commercial license at a minimum

When they catch up with him guarantee loss of licenses on the minimum points loss alone
