...and there was you telling me how the Avant feels more planted on the road
It happens, we learn from it, looks very similar to the type of accident I had except I had a brick wall rather than a ditch, and dare I say a tad more speed on impact
...and there was you telling me how the Avant feels more planted on the road
Just not under braking!
Ive stripped out the interior as wel now, so it will be even less planted
As i said on the phone, it sounded very similar. Everything that could have gone right pretty much did - lucky to get out of it without a scratch, on both me and the car.
cheeky git... I'll have you know that when I crash I do it properly!
And hey it's probably less powerful then the scooby AND I've already done more miles in it without crashing then he has!
friendly joke, glad you two have decided to get this as a nice track toy, the sierra would have been a good bit of fun but they rot too quick and it needs more power (hence my one had a turbo technics conversion on ).
Plus i've heard andy usually drives like a girl anyways incase he gets it dirty
When I think about track prepared cars the first thing I think of is cleaning and polishing products. In fact, a good layer of polish is better protection than a rollcage or harnesses, or so extensive (pub) research has confirmed...

1994 ABY Coupe - Projekt Alpinweiss
a) im alive
b) no one else died or was injured and
c) that the car has 1 plastic crack in it as a result of a 60mph accident when the entire thing could be utterly destroyed and several folk could have perished.
The 1 crack in the rear treser only matches the various other cracks, scrapes, gouges and ram-raiding marks that already exist so its the least of my concerns.
Before any critics start with my age and/or driving style its also fair to point out that it was not raining but the road was wet, i was not speeding, there were no oncoming cars in the over-taking lane and indeed it was legal for me to overtake. The police which were called to the scene (at my request) were happy that i was not racing anyone/breaking the speed limit/killing small children.
Prior to the accident i had just covered a 2000 mile round trip to germany, my 3rd trip of such length, and 12 laps of the worlds most dangerous race track, without incident, in a more powerful and "snappy" car.
Needless to say that the outcome was the best of a bad situation, and one which im extremely happy about - broken plastic or not.
Chill out Mr B, I didn't see anyone having a go at you
I had a similar experience in my first car a week after passing my test. I wasn't overtaking, just going around a right hand bend when the back end went and I spun the car. I didn't hit anyone and I don't know to this day what happened, but I needed a clean pair of underwear!

bit of a step up from a scooby/sierra.
