Yep sure did. And not a concrete post in sight!

Feel knackered this morning, ended up using those roads again on my way back from Manchester airport. A bit trickier in the dark but still a lot of fun.

The road up & down Edale is a bit of a $hitter. Nearly bricked myself on the first corner when I saw the drop.

Cheers

add me to the casualty list

rattling noise started half way through the drive, more of a knocking when got home, went to the clinic this morning and they have confirmed its big end failure new engine required

good drive though

 

Yeah was a good drive, I think I managed to make it to 2.5 miles before crashing!! Was the same AA van and 2 cars that I avoided. I never knew RX7,s could fly!!!! They dont seem to land too well mind you, think that the coilovers have save me from destroying the suspension when it landed. Anyone else see wot happened??
I think I'll pass on the next run out!!

Those rexs are no good for that kind of driving marx

 

See what happened ? , I was right behind you .What a sight , was like playnig on my Xbox seeing a RX7 take off !!

It was the S bend and you lost the back end big time on mud on the right hander which to give you credit you very nearly corrected in time but you then dissapeared up a large muddy bank , back onto the road again and lots of smoke you shot back up it again , and then you took off landing back on the road in one piece. Amazing to watch but Im sure it scared the Sh#t out of your bird


Sorry to hear that Medic cos I was the lad drooling over your bonnet saying how nice it looked.Sure scoobyclinic magic will rescue you tho.

Bad news Peccy an expence you didnt need when you are saving for the House.

 

was going to be selling the scooby soon as i got the log book, for a deposit for an house, prob not worth a deposit on a dog kennel now

 

bloody hell, this drive did kill a few of you, hope there not to bad.

you sure it was not the 13th november not the 14th????????????

where did these smashes occur?

 

wish i had crashed, would have been cheaper

 

Somebody did the same thing as medic a day later. I don't think it was anything too serious but they did have an ambulance.

Yes that patch of road is pretty muddy Marx, my back end is always a little twitchy on the way home from work on that bit.


Rich - the road down from Owler bar heading towards Chesterfield. Its a bit of a bugger this time of the year, apart from it getting muddy sometimes the drystone wall tends to drop presents for me into the road.

 

i think we should miss that bit of road out when (if) we get another run sorted!

 

let me know when the next one is guys and i'll try to make it if i can get out of work.

 

Well there is a really great route that Cheesy led us to just after that bit, nice wide open roads. You just have to be extra carefull on that first bit.

I have used that road for nearly ten years without a hitch. <looks for wood to touch>

<remembers the first corner on the road down from Owler Bar to Dysons whoops >

 

Yeah it did scare the sh*t out of my bird, and to tell you the truth it scared me a bit too. I was gonna carry on but once I let you all go by I carried on following and the tail kept on skippin out so I decided best not to risk it!! I've noticed that the o/s wing aint very health nor is the front bumper, dont think the suspension is fubar though ( I hope )
Looks like the Rex will be stood still for a few weeks now till all this bloody snow clears, its back to the trusty Punto for me again.

Marx

 

marx, do you want to swap back for your STi3 Type R?

 

Nah your ok cheers mate. Anyway you sold the scoob didnt you??
The RX wont be staying long though, I need to get a bloody house as well

Marx

 

I sent a message to Medic last night to see how he was getting on. He directed me to the midland-scoobys forum, I thought I would repost the pics here (hope you don't mind Medic, I have scrubbed the number plate off ).









By the sounds of it the insurance people are not getting their act together so its still down at the clinic.

 

Ouch!!

Hope you get sorted soon Medic

Peccy you had any joy with yours yet?
