Spent thismorning fitting new droplinks to my car.

Off for a test drive, an enthusiastic test drive I may add! Went down a road I don't know well and ended up getting the car slightly airbourne and wrecking the exhaust downpipe which includes precats and flexi......plus some damage to my front bumper.

Car now sounds like an old Ford Escort as the exhaust is blowing so badly.

Luckily my sump is still intact!

Had to take a pic on the landing point on the way back!

My little car doesn't deserve the abuse it gets from me being a bad driver!

My cars been off the road since December getting a 2.35 built, Got it back three weeks ago for running it in, Full map was due Wednesday past, left at 5:00AM for the run down to Andy's, by 5:45 my car was on a trailer heading home again with an electrical gremlin!

Missed my mapping day, missing my sprint this Sunday and now at the back of the que to get it mapped again!

Thats not RUST, thats weight reduction measurements built into each Alfa Romeo to compensate for the lose of ponies from the engine as it gets on a bit!

How fast were you going to do that?
You don't pay your TV licence and then you go and do something like that?
I have never met you but have already formed a rather poor opinion of you.
I.E. one that does not give a flying f&ck about others.

What do you want for acting like an idiot? A medal? You would probably break that too!

Haven't a clue what speed I was doing GearHead, I was too busy keeping one eye on the road and the other on my wingmirror checking if I'd lost the TV Licensing Van!

Lucky Enough I got away, it is a hard life being an Outlaw!

TT- they are not my legs but as I was jumping the canyon I momentarily saw a man walking across my path, it was the only thing left of him.

It looks like someone has previously taken out bigger chunks of the road than your effort...

Personally i dont think your trying hard enough..

Put it down to experience, its not worth the cost of repair when you think about it is it?
