Lol, if you don't want the left hand side one ill have it off you ;) I 'think' its the same as my style :confused: , as mines broken thanks to some kid riding into the car :mad:

Surely it's not a write off?

yep, were the caravan twisted round its moved the rear off-side wheel about 3 inches and theres a nice twist in the rear of the chassis from were the towbar moved. both main rear pillars are all creased and it drivers like a dodgey tesco's trolley :D

Bloody hell :eek: Well if you strip some bits off it let me know :rolleyes: Hope you slapped the woman with ur xx4 :mad:

being an 05 reg, will your insurance company replace it with a new car or fleece you over.

company car, its being picked up in about an hour and will have a new one by 1.30 so sorted that end just the caravan insurance to sort now:(

bummer, so did the doesy mare hit your car or cause you to swerve?

hope she gets banned. along with the lap top woman. some people just really shouldn't have a licence. :mad:

glad your all lok though.

hit my door at about 50 and pushed me into hard shoulder barrier

so that means she got a hefty insurance bill coming her way then, at least your not having to cough up.... any damage to your racing gear... maybe them two blown up esc....

I also have (had) an esc that might have blown up in your car on the way home...

what about my spintec charge that i lent you hope thats ok lol it costs £300 nearly
nice try hey??

Obvously insurance fraud isn't good :rolleyes:

but..... I'm sure you and Beth (and Daisy is she could talk) will be suffering from wipelash for a few months. ;)

shame it didnt happen friday night on way down i could have blamed my nightmare driving this weekend on shock :o

things arnt too bad though just had a replacement car delivered by my fleet, 06 vectra SRI just going for a blast!

Ran it in the final after some practice on the field.. IF I had driven it before properly I think I would definately have been quicker with it.. I ended up driving it like my b4- which makes you realise just how different this car is. I was really throwing it into the corners to get it to turn, which you just didnt need to do - the result was getting hung up on the same pipes about 4 times, really frustrating since the car would turn much much better than the B4.
The best bit was powering out of the corners, I could drift the car around without the back end being uncontrolable, I think the car just needs a different technique going into the corners.
So, sorry to Dan for not using his car more, but many thanks for the opportunity and I'll look forward to building mine up asap to see how it goes.

Ah well, not to worry, glad the car went well though. Did it stay dry (my car)???

Actually can I get it off you sometime soon. I've not seen it for a month now and have some things I want to try before I run it next.

I saw someone else ran an X6 at the F3's. Who was it and how did they do?

There were a few mate! Thumbs was there and i think might have been helping the X6 boys out. He was raving about them.

I was doing same lap times as my B4 - but I know it was quicker, I was just making mistakes on every lap turning in too early. There was definately enough drive there and the steering and cornering were great. Stayed dry no worries..

I should be going to the consortium meeting on wednesday, not goin are you ?
Where abouts do ya live ?

X6

Paul Knight, not sureb who it is, Welsh lad I assume. Car looked good, looked very positive to drive. If it were me I'd have been running more worn tyres on it (but then I ain't got anything else).
