Looks nice - very smart. Are you sticking with the Rover as well or is this your new project?

Yes Waynne i'm keeping the Rover for a project. This is just a runaround really for my son so it will stay standard and the Rover will be getting the mods done...

I hope you bought it a hot dog.

I hope you bought it a hot dog.

It got treated to a full tank of fuel before we went. Although I only used a 1/4 of a tank there and back. I'd left it in the Paddock during the morning but got a bit paranoid about people scratching it and stuff with bikes and 3 wheelers going round the paddock so at dinner I fetched it and left it at the side of my post where I could keep an eye out on it. lol. Had to get a pic of it though cause it looked dead moody on the day.

 

[pgarner]

thats because it wanted a go around the track

So did I. But fear not it will be going round Cadwell Park later on this year.

 

[turbonutter69]

Just thought i'd take a couple of pics on a sunny day.

 

[turbonutter69]

And I took this the same day later on.

Nice car Turbo, just been visualising it sitting pretty on some BBS wheels with the tops of the racing seats visible through the windows and the shine of a roll cage bar peeking out from the back lol

Probably a good thing you have the Rover to keep you busy.

Shiney :bigsmile:

 

[turbonutter69]

[Loz]

:bigsmile:

 

[turbonutter69]

:bigsmile:

Thats awesome I want one.

If we can just get the wheels to poke out the bottom it'll be perfect!

I'm sure we'll find a way.

Hi all, just a quick note to say this thread has been moved to our new projects/wip forum within the gallery.

 

[meethrap]

just been playin catch up, but very nice car mate, pity it only a run around, bet it could turn into something very nice.

 

[turbonutter69]

Cheers buddy. But yeah it is just a runaround and will be staying that way buddy. :bigsmile:

 

[turbonutter69]

The damage :sad2::sad2::sad2:

 

[ben]

man that sux

 

[Loz]

As mods go it's not one of your best! :amuse:
When's it going in for repair?

 

[turbonutter69]

Dunno yet cause i've got to fill out an accident report form and draw the scene.

 

[Loz]

Best get your crayons out then! :bigsmile:

 

[turbonutter69]

My 3 year old could prob draw better than me. I'm absolutely rubbish at drawing.

 

[Loz]

 

[obi_waynne]

A bit of Tcut and it will be fine

Sorry to see the damage, it is really galling when stuff like this happens.

 

[ben]

You have to draw the scene? :shock:

Is a birds-eye-view sufficient?

 

[turbonutter69]

I have to draw where my car was and the other car. And all other traffic at the time of the incident.

 

[Loz]

That's why they gave us disposable camera's to keep in the vans at work, so if we do have a bump we were supposed to take pics of the scene. Most of the blokes have given the cameras to their kids.

Did you get any pics on your phone?

 

[turbonutter69]

Not of the scene no.

 

[meethrap]

like anyone remembers whats going on around you when an accident has just happened, i know i didnt when i wrote the old cavalier sri off way back when, only thing i had in my mind was giving the stupid b£$%hes mother a mouthfull after she pulled out of her driveway in front of me and her mother blamed me and asked me if i had been drinking, the cheek of some people.
but shame about the car mate, but im sure it will be good as new in no time at all.

 

[turbonutter69]

Thought i'd wash the car today. Not been done since the accident.:embarrest:

 

[pgarner]

has it been repaired yet ?
