1st of April is the start of kit car season for me so I stuck 6 months tax on it and drove it to work.
I'd almost forgotten just how awesome these things are!
Safe to say my post re-build running in procedure has already gone out of the window!

Does that mean I get a ride in it soon?;)

Hi skov,

How about some video footage from your rollbar?

I need some motivation to do the last bits of my car!

Sorry David, sadly my £7 camera died :rolleyes:
Just get your IVA application sent off, that'll give you some motivation!

Had a momentary lapse of concentration pulling out of a junction...

How much deep does the damage go?

K4KEV 9th April 2014 06:02 PM

yeah..... pleased you are ok .....so whats the damage John? looks light from the picture.....That is a bonus of building and owning a haynes you know exactly how to fix it;) hope it isn't too expensive to sort, then just panel beat that dint in your pride:D

I don't know the full extent of the damage yet, but so far:

Headlight broken
Nosecone smashed
Indicators completely missing
Tyre pulled partially off rim
Radiator, fan, and mounting brackets broken
Bonnet cracked
Wingstay a bit bent

What worries me is that the wheels no longer seem to point forwards when the steering wheel is central.
I think/hope it's the steering rack that's buggered and not the wishbones or chassis.

Going to wait and see what the insurers say before I start stripping it down.
There's no way I could fix it for less than my £100 excess, so I'm thinking I may as well let them pay for the repairs (or at least the parts if they'll let me fix it myself). The other driver is claiming against me anyway, so I don't think I've got anything to lose.
Not looking forward to insurance renewal time!
