Unhappy Not a sight u want to see

Im in mourning today my black armband is on:sad:, after the demise of my engine late on sunday night
Bugger, just got her back from scoobyclinic after having her re-painted and a few MORE mods added, and ready for the NBO 2 then this sh!te happens :sad: so looks like were going to the NBO in the spare Turbo, and yes we will be parking away from u lads & lasses

These are picture's u wont want to see, people of a nervous disposition need not look









She is now back in the safe hands of the chaps at Scoobyclinic, think im gonna ask Kev for shares in the business.

But in the immortal words of Oscar Goldman....
"We have the technology to rebuild her and make the worlds first bionic scooby" that's if Marv hasn't beaten me to it

Unhappy

Not exactly sure, but pulled out of a side road onto a main rd, rather quickly, went for 2nd then lost all power, heard a "banging" noise :eek;, dipped the clutch and coasted round the next corner to my house pulled up outside and once the sound off the zorst had quitened down, heard some strange noises, but couldn't select a gearto get her moving, so turned her off and got a mate had to push her into the garage

Not sure whats happened but thinking the worst:

Im not expert but I dont think the way he straped th car down through the wheels is a good idea. When I used to go along with a mate delivering cars. I think he told me is not good.

your picture's brought tears to my eyes :-) because mine went away on the back of a tow truck 3 weeks ago to be fixed because she wouldn't start. they think the ECU has broke and can't find a new one. 3 weeks........... and counting :-((
