I was on the scene shortly after the accident, I must say Steven is a very lucky man!, Things could have gone much worse. I am very glad he was not seriously injured. His beautiful car will be missed, but I can only hope something better will be coming his way!
Just relax, stay on your meds, and get better, Steven. And call me if there is anything you need.

What a shock to see your SY Porsche after your incident. The good news is that you were spared significant injury because your P car took the brunt of it. Hope to see you back with an even better example and full recovery. What a bummer.

Sorry to see that man. I'm glad you are OK. One of the nicest looking Pcars on the list.

Work the insurance over...don't let them settle. That car was a rare example in top notch shape. One of the most desirable ones around.

and just an fyi...996TTs seem to priced very low these days.

Get well..

Even thought you're a Scouse supporter I'm glad to hear you're OK . Hey, I know of a seal grey 996 that's looking for a new home.... J/K, I couldn't kick a man when he's down. Hope the aches & pains don't linger too long.

Same here Man, I just want to wish you a very rapid recovery and so you can get back in another P-car again. I also felt pain that your beautiful SY car has so many dents and bruises. It was thanks to your car that I decided to install the GT3 aero-kit and also the 2 little GT trims on the rear bumpers of mine. Best of luck to you, but looks like you'd be back in no time. Cheers.

Wow Stephen that is a butt ugly looking accident.
Really glad that you are OK and I'll bet we will be seeing you in another P-car really soon!
Take care!

So glad you are OK Steven.
Take care and heal fast.

I know it is only a car (and you made that clear yourself) but it was a really sweet one!

Steven,

I feel your pain as I just went through this in May. I'm still recovering (Physically)and only recently replaced the 911. You are correct, it's a car and it will be replaced. I'm glad you aren't hurt badly.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery,

Pete

Screw the car, it's replaceable (hopefully that is by the insurance co.). I'm just glad you're alive.

Steven,

I wish you a full recovery. Tragic about the car but did its job protecting you.

Damn speed, glad to hear you're ok and nobody else was involved. After all it is only metal and it serves to remind us that these are very safe cars. Will you be looking for a not-so-speedy color next possibly a demure silver or black?

Keep us updated
