I am really sorry to see those pics Keith. All that time and effort and you barely got to enjoy it. I hope you have a sympathetic insurer. Glad you are ok but a tragedy nonetheless. Regards Ben

Wow man so sorry, I know the time, money, blood, sweat and tears that went into this car.
What a shame. Coming from a wrote off car, I feel for you and I didn't have anywhere near the amount of work you got into yours.
Judging by the pictures, I have a lot of parts that could help you to get back on the road if needed... I have the whole front side suspension, fender, headlights, oil cooler, rad, etc, its all just sitting here if you need it man, I think it looks fixable.

Thanks guys for all the kind words. She's been our R&D beast for the last four years and did well at the track. Most all the mods were functional and allowed us to see just how good the C63 platform can perform. I'll keep you updated as to what the insurance adjuster tells me next week. Hope you all have a great holiday weekend!!

Keith!!! I am utterly speechless! A real shame but very happy no one was hurt. I think most of us feel a real connection with this car. Watching it morph over the years has been a real joy and to see it in this state is a shocker.
I really look forward to the next Dads Project or rebuild>>>>

I couldn't believe it as well !! 
Hopefully you'll be able to fix her up. But it's heart breaking to see her in that state. Let's keep our fingers crossed for the insurance

Keith, first and foremost you're physically in good shape. However mentally, I know how you feel! Exact same thing happen to me on an evening cruise on a right bend with a Porsche Carrera S4 in London many years back.. It was embarrassing and thankfully, no one was hurt in the car nor any other pedestrians! Look forward to hearing on your comeback on your beast!

Yes
No sense in beating yourself up over it, everyone makes mistakes. I don't know you but judging by your demeanor in the forums, I'm sure you have already shifted from anger to embarrassment to frustration to the realization of what's important to determination.
Best of luck!

Yikes, Keith - we all feel for you and you were an inspiration to the M&B forum with your car.
Whatever way you go (fix her up or new baby), we will all be watching and admiring your progress.
Hope the insurance treats you right and so glad you are OK.
