sorry to see your misfortune 
, You were going well up till then too!
I looked for you whilst I was there but couldn't see an obvious candidate.
I have doors and a wing and probably a mirror for your car - in blue - off the shelf, If I can lessen the pain give me a call on Monday.

Many thanks for the all support guy's 
I could real off 100's of excuses why it wasn't my fault
But it was quite simply a bad misjudment of the entry into the corner and poor driver control on my behalf on the exit I failed to remove the opposite lock quick enough. I had full power on so once the front wheels regained grip, it drove the car where the wheels were pionting at the Tyre wall but this was the first time understeer wasn't the problem
At least this was a driver developement day in a safe envirolment and I have learnt a lot
here are the Video's Right-click on the links and do save target as !

Thats about as good as we can seem to get off the camcorder. (Only Digital 8, not DV unfortunately - Must upgrade camera )
There is a Mpeg which comes in at about 29 meg, think that slightly better, but not worth the 45 min upload time!! We are still working on getting it from tape via S-VIDEO, which SHOULD be much better. If it works, we'll post the update and let you all know.

I have 100MB blueyonder space, or I can use my sidtech one, so size is not a problem, wont take long to upload unless you're on a modem - just wondered if you could do a betterer one. No worries.

Not good Tony Never like to see a car bashed about like that. I'm assuming you had good track day insurance cover (please tell me you did!).

I'm so sorry to hear about the "whoops"
However, I'm glad both you and passenger are OK though. After all, it is only a car
Shame that this type of thing shows off the the Internet at its worst
Still, there is some good to come out of this - at least I can guarrantee my students that for the next few weeks, they'll get some work done, rather than being interrupted by that noisy bast@rd motor when you drive down by me
Take care Tony - speak to you tomorrow, and again, if you need anything, you know my number
