Bad day but we will rebuild her again. 2 complete spins on A36 near Bradford on Avon wet road and the smell of diesel just off roundabout exit. Luckily no one else involved.
Ouch poor Ruby Rhod.

Ouch! Importantly you walked away.
I have eyes like a Japanese sniper on my bike this time of year
Jeeze that must hurt after all the effort you put into that car mate. Glad that you were able to walk away.

Ouch ! As above, at least you could walk away.
That is one very attractive Zed . . .

Thank you all for your messages they will cheer Ruby Rhod up. I’ve started getting all the new parts sorted. Main thing is to find a rust free bonnet. Lucky it didn’t touch the side panel or door just front and rear corners.
Luckily no one hurt and damage to your car fairly superficial albeit still expensive enough to put right. You will get there and your car will be back to top notch. The expenditure will be a temporary setback. Good luck bringing her back to your standards!

Such a shame but the Z is repairable. That Z of yours is one of the best colours I’ve seen especially with the black
extras.
Glad your ok and can’t wait to see it all repaired up and running, good luck
By the way, just in case your tempted to try this very difficult manoeuvre again and spin it twice on a roundabout in the wet I have a automatic safety accelerator kit, which consists of a strong elastic band tied to right foot and attached to your right testicle.( If your interested mines for sale,which is now redundant)
RHA, ROY.

Now that is a good idea hope it’s free. Just think how much you could make if you had a market for your invention lol.Such a shame but the Z is repairable. That Z of yours is one of the best colours I’ve seen especially with the black

yes I’m trying to source all the parts to get it sorted, it is all cosmetic.
thanks for your reply.
Never nice when your car gets pranged and when there's nobody else to blame it's worse. It's all the '..why didn't I see that ? ' or ' why didn't I do ...? ' Painful, but it can be fixed.

yes had a sleepless night thinking about that just trying to work out what the hell went wrong. It happens so fast when it steps out on rear end and on a wet greasy surface I stood no chance. But you still beat yourself up over it repairs are now under way and it dose not look so bad today.
thanks for the post.

Shame 
but as has been said no one hurt and that's the main thing. Hope she comes back together soon.
