Seeing as we've all probably been there, and just seeing poor ole Tank Mikes post, i thought it would bne kind of amusing to see our pride and joys on the recovery trucks!!

This is acually where Clive spent most of her time!

 

not quite a tow truck but still

 

to all those future cossie owners, get used to the view

 

Never had a ride on the back of one of those,and mine was used as a daily driver for over three years

YET

Paul

 

touch wood quick!!!

 

Just a couple of times


Blown head gasket 'racing' Scooby STi V5




Broken front driveshaft after a 'launch'

 

Were you chasing it across a muddy field Rich

 

Yeah, it started in the Welsh Forests

 

no pics but all 3 of my cossies have been on 1 at some point

 

My S1 has never seen one saying that she rarely sees the road either

 

at the 'ring'. the bottom end decided to rattle a bit.

 

I have some pics somewhere of my fiesta, 3dr & Matts cossie on the back of recovery trucks pmsl"!!

 

From my earlyer post

 

Heres mine on the way to santapod last year thermostat decided to stick so she went home on the tow truck and i went to the pod...

 

what a view

 

 

ooops dunno what happened there

 

engine fire, no doubt caused by the pipe from the fuel pressure regulator..awful design!!

OH Pa Pa!! Oh Nicole!!

 

This could be a long thread...

Last time I saw my old saph when it went to Johns

 

@ philram

 

correct, 30 mins before....

 

Here,s mine .Needed setting up so of to JAMSPORT we went.

 

I was just about to dig this picture out lol. This is where i had an "issue" at the Nurburg Ring and i was having a lairy lap with Sketch behind me and got a little too big for my boots and ran out of driver skill.........ooops!!

Was pretty scarey and both me and Kim needed fresh underwear!! (And i suspect Stu did too when he heard the news pmsl)

 

 

mines never been on a tow truck but it has been pulled by a mates transit when the clutch cable snapped on the way to a meet once. touch wood it will never ever see a towtruck. although i reckon at some point the engine may have a disagreement with its internals

 

On the way to body shop last week

Hope your well anyway mate and loved the car best saph i had owned by a mile. Always remember first week of owning it and it raining and me and timrud on M18 and an E46 M3 on our back side so moved over and he floored it and we did, went a bit sideways when the T4 kicked in then just mullered it.

Gutted to see it go but pastures new over here etc, as i say hope your well and family ?
