Bad luck DJ.

Neil Smalley 28 April 2001 08:20 AM

Sorry to hear about your 'off' and <B>really</B> glad your OK.

How'd it happen, and is the car easily repairable?



RichiB 28 April 2001 09:24 AM

Doc:

Silly question but how were the Eibach's

NITO 28 April 2001 09:28 AM

Ouch,

Really sorry to see that DJ. Hope it'll be up to scratch (excuse the pun) soon! Is it not driveable, it doesn't look too bad from the pics thankfully, at least you get to have all the stonechips resprayed.

Where did you go off at Cadwell, and which line from the book of excuses was responsible for that? http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

Doc
Glad you organised some transport home,
you were driving real well up until the accident, the car felt really well on the track, i didn't realise how fast a scoob could be driven round corners. It was my first track day but i don't think it will put me off being a passenger again, was a bit scary though when you see the barrier coming towards you very fast

As you all probably know, the red devil had a vehicular/landscape interface at Cadwell today.

Couple of piccies courtesy of John Felstead (thanx buddy). If you think track insurance is a waste of money, have a look at these

Only injuries were to pride and burns to ears from all the guys who were kept waiting...SORRY GUYS http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/redface.gif

Thanks for all the positive comments, to Stef and Dave Mackey for use of your mobiles (broke mine!!)

Big thank you to my new best mate Mad Dog Dave for getting me home from Cadwell to Southampton in under 5 hours. The answer is still no btw mate http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

All being well, I'll get back on the horse at Bedford next month http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

DJ,

Sorry to hear/see that. From the pictures, it doesn't look to bad, but I guess you have a better idea.

Glad to hear that you weren't hurt.

No doubt the red rocket (estate http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif) will be back and fighting fit again soon.

Cheers

Ian

Bad luck DJ http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/frown.gif Have you caught both ends?

Hope you are well and the car makes a comeback

Bob

DocJock 28 April 2001 02:38 PM

Thanks for the concern guys, it is one of the really special things about the ScoobyNet community.

Simon

glad I haven't put you off, I felt a bit guilty about that. First rule of crashing...make sure the passenger side hits 1st http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

RichiB

Eibachs were gr8. See you soon for alignment .... again !! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/rolleyes.gif


Won't go into the scenario here, but watching the vid again I am still slightly hacked off to say the least.

Damage wise track rod, suspension arm both well bent. Didn't check driveshaft etc, leaving that to my fave technician http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

Excuse for more upgrades maybe http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

Doc

Sorry about the damage. Glad to see that it's not terminal.

Especially glad that you & your passenger weren't hurt http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

Make sure you're all sorted by Bedford - it'll be interesting to compare Wagons then http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

Cya there my friend http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

DJ

Ouch!!! Glad you're ok though - that's the main thing.

What's the replacement? Is it a Daewoo Matiz?

igratton 28 April 2001 09:14 PM

Bummer Doc,

sorry to hear about that and glad everyone is ok. I'm sure the red beastie will make a full recovery.

Ian

DocJock 28 April 2001 09:30 PM

ROTFLMAO http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif (still needs gold wheels though)

Red will certainly be back m8, too much history to get rid http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

Dave T-S 29 April 2001 08:10 AM

Oops! Get well soon....the car that is!

BTW - did someone mention gold wheels? http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif


Rich_R 29 April 2001 09:45 AM

Ouch...Unlucky DJ - glad no major damage or injuries. Cadwell can be a b1tch when it goes wrong

The ring in June perhaps http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

Rich.

See they've been kerbed quite a bit - 'tis the wife's car after all http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

johnfelstead 29 April 2001 06:58 PM

yeh, but when they installed the wheels they stole the bonnet scoop!! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

Avi 29 April 2001 07:30 PM

Why not search the Private ads, for a few quid - you can't even notice the difference between the Matiz and the Wagon http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif
