So yesterday my ship came into port and true to form all of those going home for the weekend jumped into their cars and sped off like the whacky racers and the inevitable happened. Just as I was exiting the M5 on my way back from Plymouth and coming round the off slip which is a really tight bend I was confronted by a road covered in stones (was like driving on marbles) , a very bent and distorted Armco and a mates car ripped to pieces. 5 very shaken sailors and a destroyed Astra. Everyone was fine but the car is a right-off. I took 4 the rest of the way home and another car pulled over to wait with the driver for recovery. For all those returning from Plymouth this weekend, take care and go easy exiting the M5.

Blimey!!! Glad no'ones seriously hurt, must have shaken them up a bit! The roads are a bit slippery after all the sun we've had, and now its raining, it can make driving a bit sketchy.

Nice to have you back mate :-)

My car feels very well planted with the 4 wheel drive but i'm afraid to say there was no one to blame but the driver of the wrecked Astra. Too much speed for the road and conditions = right-off.
