Dead Pumesta

[L14MNP]

Well, my mate rolled his Puma engined Fiesta on Monday night trying to dodge a rabbit/cat he said :(

Shame, as we had big plans for that car! Had a set of Alcon 4 pots and 360mm discs for it, rear beam with disc conversion, uprated/rebuilt 1700 VCT Puma engine with Cooper S Works super charger, Escort Cos rims, whole track was being widened etc etc...

Lots of pics here http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v245/Con2K/WoRM/ anyway.. One very lucky lad IMO! Not even a scratch on him!!

I had just been dropped off 20 mins earlier! :eek: Thats 3 write offs I've avoided by like 20-30 mins, I feel like I'm in Final Destination!

Here's a walk round video we took after we stripped the car before the theiving ****ers at the recovery place did or some other random, as it was just left outside nowhere near the compound FFS

Gutted mate... although I never swerve for animals on the road, not if I can't do it safely.

I'd rather mess up a bumper than roll it :D

Tis not so much animals you need to watch out for at this time of year, its ice - the faff came into the base sideways this morning :D

[Matt2107]

lol is it that skiddy there... I have nothing but grip up here.

[Jack]

Yeah, couple hard frosts in the morning recently and I guess there was a bit of water on the road that'd iced up... and me not waking up til at least 10am I didn't realise I was on it til the car started getting "twitchy" lol

Although it was a shame about the car and all the effort thats gone into it, it looks like your mate was lucky to step out of that without a scratch! What plate Fester was it, it loks like it held it together quite well, I dread to think what the Nova would look like after a similar roll.

Yeah you're right mate! It was an X reg.

Nova's don't do crashes! :eek::D

Yep MK2 ST24 - give me some credit, I know they aint Cos lol

The Esc Cos one are in the lockup and were waiting to go on, because when the wider FRP bottom arms were fitted and the FRP arches welded on front and back, thats the only way they would fit - trust me we tried!
