T2 MSW Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Actually I know someone that would be able to recover the car for you from the ring at very resonable rates poss even mates rates, what sort of prices have you been quoted so far, PM me if you want.

jim_supra Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 Jim whats the damage like around the 2 chassis rails? It didn't look bad, and as far as I can tell there is no damage to them. but it will have to be checked for sure. I do know that the bonnet is untouched and opens without any trouble at all.

Trig Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 My word! Gutted for ya mate! not sure if its been mentioned before but was the other guy insured to drive on the track? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefgroover Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Hope the front of the car has not moved on you, doesnt take much for a Supra to tilt the chassis legs to one side. You could always get it fixed local to the ring, and when its ready go back and have another few laps before coming home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim_supra Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 My word! Gutted for ya mate! not sure if its been mentioned before but was the other guy insured to drive on the track? I'm not sure, I didn' get chance to exchange details with the guy, as soon as they'd got it down that it was the BMW drivers fault they took me to the police station in Adenau as they did not have the statemnt forms i needed to fill out with them. The police have all his details though, and I will be contacting them tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_supra Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 Gutted mate .... Is that the idiots z4 in the background No that was someone elses, the garage left his out on the street. his car was a 320 or a 318. it was the compact version. The Z4 had been rolled and was a bit of a mess on the other side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supra_dan Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 My mate went only last week he has the Audi S4 he drove there fine and half way round his first lap both his turbo's blew up.... He was with a few other mates who both took their skylines and one of the skylines came off the track and hit a barrier and had to pay around 1000 euros to replace the barrier.... The other bloke with the skyline went around 9 times with no probs. Gutted for you dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorin Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Knightmare Jim. Hard to tell without a proper look obviously but while it looks a mess, hopefully it's just cosmetic damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_supra Posted August 22, 2007 Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 Yes it looked ok but will need a proper inspection when it gets home, I'm praying it is just cosmetic otherwise it will have to be sat at home for a while. The situation as it stands is, I have a trailer I can lend. Am trying to get a towbar fitted to the jeep either today or tomorrow, book the ferry and drive and collect the car at the weekend. that should bring the costs of recovery down to about £300-400.
