Matt 6 Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Well I think everyone that joined our convoy to Santa Pod this morning will agree that the day started rather eventfully!!!!! I fortunatly wasn't around to see what actually happen but I did get to see the end result of some rather adventurus driving performed by a Mondeo driver!! As for the show its self, well I personally enjoyed it and it was nice to put some names to faces so soon after joining the forum. Hope Ray had a good last run, this time with NOS that worked.

Matt 6 Posted October 9, 2005 Author Share Posted October 9, 2005 I will leave that part of the story for people that were 'close by' when it happened!! I was at the front of the convoy and we realised that we had lost around 5 - 6 cars somewhere so those of us that were still together turned round and drove back. We finally found the rest of the convoy parked at the side of the road about 3 miles further back, all people and cars were fine in the convoy. They had just gained a Mondeo somehow!!!

ellis Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 If you have to know . . . . saw it all in my rear view mirror!! As we were in convoy a black car (no details!) began to overtake - half way past it seemed to become apparent that he wasn't getting past and coming towards him was a Mondeo. With virtually 3 cars abreast the Mondeo was half on road, half on grass. Must have braked because he fishtailed towards the centre of the road then it flipped back and flung him off the road. Thats when we disappeared over a crest and I missed the rest. We did all stop and turn around though and helped to remove the car from a small patch of woodland!! Fantastic day though - great to meet a load of you finally and really can't wait for the next one. My lad and his mate had a great time too. Have a few pics to post up and as soon as I've recovered from the drive back I'll put them up. Great day!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraStar 3000 Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 was a great day and convoy. Nice to meet even more members and enjoy some great cars. Thought the drift action was very impresive. As for the Russian Mondeo who i believe was knocked unconscious, maybe he could consider paying insurance/road tax. Didn't see anything myself but retured to the aftermath. All part of joys and entertainment of the MKIV.NET convoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian R Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Hopefully someone got a pic of us all "rocking and bouncing" it out of the tree. Recon you right Edd looking at the damage if it had been my car i'd of gone tits up. But he didn't even want any of the emergancy services. Strange... perhaps he was an illegal ??

ellis Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Something was definitely dodgy about him - I'd have wanted blood - perhaps no licence, no tax, no insurance, no visa!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_M Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 I can't get over how little thought anyone is giving this. Someone from this forum (I don't know who) run another car off the road by doing a dodgy overtaking manouver during one of the convoys. Luckily no-one was seriously hurt but the Mondeo (from what I've heard) was very badly damaged. Now, it seems that the owner may have had something to hide and therefore didn't wish to call authorities but this does not make it any less serious.

Ian R Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 I believe the driver of the Supra did get back into the line of traffic however the driver of the Mondeo over reacted once the Supra had completed his overtake and lost it whilst half on the grass verge. The Supra may have contibuted to his accident but there would not have been a collision if he had continued at the legal speed limit. As far as a I am led to believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supRo Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Saw the CRD Supra get 9.8x I think but Dee blew his turbo after the finishing line Did anyone see the mini on the strip? I think it had a Turbo engine in the boot. It started Wheelie'ing on the strip!!! First time I saw a jet car on the strip, that was bloody amazing (quarter mile in 5.something! Loadsa cars blew their engines! I think the Norris Evo won the event? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jezz Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 I put an offer in for dee's crd supra. However, it was after his second run, so he politely declined my offer of a tenner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 John_M, From what I've heard the Mondeo over reacted. After we pushed the car back onto the road he was gone in a second. Without looking over the car and checking the brakes etc. Infact, he didn't even open the bonnet. Very odd. Didn't seem the action of a innocent party to me.
