Shame about the off Olly but the way I look at it is you come out of all the best fights with the coolest scars. Much like top nights out and monster hangovers!
I plan to get as many battle scars on mine as possibly! lol
Good job on the handbraking, good natural reactions to save the car :thumb:
Oh, what did you decide to do about your beam in the end?
Hey all, just got up - thank fook I decided to book the day off today lol
Thanks for all the nice comments, we all get it wrong from time to time, just my over-eagerness not to use the brakes and be on it hard got me this time!
Gonna go through videos later and see whats what.
No probs to you all regarding enjoying the day, and all the passenger rides.
Whilst I'm thinking about it I must say a massive thanks to: Michelle, James, Danni, Ian, Kat, Steve, Claire, Matt & Rob, I'm glad I managed to take all but two of you out for a good blat around the track... for not only travelling a fair trek to Cadwell, but for helping me out with bits that needed doing too. Tyre changes etc.
Simps - not sure on the beam, gonna whip the car out the garage in a minute, take some more pics of the damage, and get cracking on it so its ready for Donny in two weeks time.
The beam etc will wait until after Donny, as then I'll have a good 6 weeks again until my next trackday :thumb:
Oh, lastly, I must say that Cadwell is my new favourite track, over Donny too - so I'll be booking a fair few days up there early Jan & Feb :thumb:
I will save a beam for you aswell once stripped the Antbes down mate just incase.
Nice to see your enthusiasm (sp) hasnt been dampened!! Mistakes happen, but in a way you got off lightly!! Loving the persuasion tools BTW.
gutted about the damage olz, but glad to hear your ok and got straight back out with it :thumb:
Thanks once again for kind words :)
Just read back through the passed couple of pages - and missed a couple of peoples comments...
Fibreglass doors are even more of a no no now, then ever - I'm soooo glad I didn't spend the money on fitting that wide kit, so it's going to stay the same as any other Nova, a little dint here and there :thumb:
Bugger Olz, sorry to see the damage. Glad yourself & passenger are ok though.
Guess you've found the limit on that corner now, eh? :-P
Glad your not down about it as well, hopefully you'll be thrashing around Donny in 2 weeks time trouble free, I think you've earnt yourself a problem free day!
Cheers Ben, on a wet and greasy day, yes I now know my limits, however I will go back in the dry next year! :D
So in my usual style of not really hanging around, I cracked on with the job in hand, getting the car ready for my Donington trackday.
