Just a remind to you all always take care whilst driving !!!!
See picture my Willy after going arse over end at only 35 mph on the way to work lost 6.5k in total and now have to share J reg valver with misses
Copper said i would have been lucky to life if i was travaling any quicker :shock:

Car £5000 minter Number 378
Insurance Third Party £2000 (regret that now only got £700 sheets back)
Car Sold for £1000 to Paul at infincar (without interior)

All take care espically in the wet !!!!

I am sure none of you want to right another off should think there is another 1000 people out there ready to finish me off :oops:

Yep got the plaque thats not going any where it is on my bedroom door as a reminder for when i take the valver for a beasting ( In the dry only now tho)

Just one of them mate back road on the way to work same way i had been going for like 5 years in na number of different vechiles. Road was wet and back right wheel went over a drain and the rear left was on worn out tarmac were it goes really shinny and as i was going left round a slight bend it shot out from me tryied to opp lock but just to late slip side ways hit a 1 foot high muddy bank and the car went arse over tit it happened that slowly that i was thinking to myself dam going to need a new bumper now but as the car went vertical it just had enought to go over :cry: :cry: managed to get out by smashing rear window then a women who lived opposite came out cause she heard me screaming and shouting at the car and myself not the sound of the car tipping over !! Two ambulances arrived within a few mins 2 x fireengines and 2 cop cars only thing that happened to me was cut hands as the windscreen shattered over me thank god i was wearing my seatbelt definatly safed my life in this time around!!
The most annoying thing is just the day before i was dong the same corner at like 70 mph just keeping the bitch pinned obvioulsy in the dry but still !!! know the road like the back of my hand!!
My mate had a therory to why it could have happened two weeks before we were screaming up the same back road this time opposite way and as a cracked third a BLACK cat jumped out in the road now i would be lying if i said i didnt run him over, this just happened to be on the same corner where the car rolled. Bt thats his therory not to sure me self just sods law i put t down too!!!

Lunner Posted: Fri Jul 01, 2005 4:15 pm Post subject

Thats a good point must have been front window obvioulsy must have been a little more shuck up than i first taught!!! (Pretty cetain i smashed window tho but certainly dosent look the case as they must have smashed on impact unless i was just fininshing of what was left of the window) surpose thats what you get when hanging upside down with seat belt on

WOuld have mate but unfortualty needed to get another car asap and needed some money from it. Also didnt really have the tools etc to strip engine running gear etc.
Unfortunalty 2 months after i had sold it to Paul my mates moved to a new company called www.tlmotorsport.com and if i had had it for a bit longer i could have stripped it and transfered all williams handling pack and engine to the J plate valver shell that my misses now has. But wasnt to know bit of a shame

Commiserations, mate. As gutting as it is, a car's a car and you live to buy another one!
Is it me or do these cars go a bit crappy in the wet? I find mine locks really easily even under mellow driving conditions. Never feel very confidant cornering in the wet. My front tyres are near their limtis though so it could be that :?:

i just wont push a car in the wet , the clio grips fine but only takes a slight mistake in wet and uve lost control and normally very hard to get back!

David

Richy Kj16v

would completly agree

Drive my missess valver now and i would be lying if i said i didnt drive it hard but yes as you said i dont even bother trying to corner quickly in the wet just not worth it losses traction sooooo easily

There is a large roundabout were i live and i can take it almost 70mph continusal going round and round but in the damp/wet i wouldn't dare try it any were near that speed!!!

Mind you from doing so often now i have fully shagged the steering rack or sumit the worst noise now on full lock(same happened on my willy and at Renault it cost me £650 for new rack or pump cant remember which one it was or may have been both) but havent got money to fix it sometimes feels like it could snap or sumit !!! o dear!!! she asks whats that whinning and obvioulsy i am like not sure TBO !!! lolol :lol:

Trackdays are a great way to learn to control a slide though and thoroughly recommended.
