simbasupra Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 sorry to hear that mate, what was the cause (conditions,speed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizzle Posted May 11, 2008 Author Share Posted May 11, 2008 to be fair the bodywork is unmarked, the rear drivers wheel was stickin out at some crazy angle, wishbone was snapped and some other rods. dude reckoned it looked worse than it was. so not gona panic jus yet.. joke is the AA were gonna charge me £140 to tow it less than 2 miles to my m8s garage. fortunatley his m8 did it for £25.

Class One Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 So you were "trying to tweak the back end a bit" and you lost it? On a public road? You were lucky no one else was involved or hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
