I dont want to think how much red bull we consumed on the drive out there!

We got so lost it took 9hrs to find Edgars place ! The beer went down soooo well

Jim Galbally

great topic

Azrael

I never saw anybody crying, from what Chip told me it isn't that bad.

Much better then writing off some car he would really like.

Azrael

You've been in that BMW? I've been out in it couple of times and it handled just fine, suprisingly well. Doesn't take milion pound car to have fun driving it.

Azrael

Jim Galbally I'm sorry I didn't have opportiunity to say bye. Hope you guys make/made it home fine. We did.

Az mate, i had to rush off quickly coz i thought we'd miss the ferry (even tho we ended up averaging about 120 and getting 2 ferrys earlier ) so i didnt get a chance to say goodbye to anybody good to meet you tho matey and im sure i'll see you at the next one

Azrael

Jim Galbally I hope so mate! Maybe this time I'll be giving passenger rides, so everybody stops saying I know driving ony in theory

Only goes back a small bit

Mongo

Doug, Chip and myself did not go over there with the attitude of "Nurburgring or bust". I know that chip always described it as a bit of a nail, but we actually were hoping to use it as a long term track car. The handling was sublime to say the least.

What happened to Chip was purely accidental, there were reports that he had spread oil all over the track and this simply isn't true. The BMW did not loose any vital fluid other than rad water. The sump, power steering and box were all still intact!

In summary Chip is just as much of a victim as the bikers following him.

Azrael

Mongo I'm glad you made it back home!


Everything all right?

Mongo

Absoloutly fine mate

Did you have a good trip back?

Hope you enjoyed your lap too

Azrael

That's good

100% problem free.

Which one?

I was quite impressed by the one with you. No offence but you don't look for a driver you are

Mongo

Yes mate I got a lift with alex and took the ASBO (ST) for a spin when I was in england too!

No offence mate, I dont look much like a racing driver lol

Jim Galbally

loving the asbo

BlueSmoke

I had a great time and will deffo go back in my own car for the next trip!

Just got in so going to have my tea

Oh and Jim, you said bye to me. How could you forget ol' Jay?

Of COURSE he hasnt been in it, its just him keyboard warrioring as always!

Cant believe the number of rumours flying around on various sites, especially all the nonsense written on the ben lovejoy site (ive emailed him with the real story)

As mongo says the car wasnt disposable, but it was an affordable car that we were prepared to risk losing, ANYONE using their car hard on the track is being naive if they dont face the fact that an accident may happen.

Ask anyone at all who went out for a lap with either me or mongo and they will tell you that:
We were driving hard but not being wreckless
We DID care about the car and wanted to bring it again
It handled VERY well (dont take my word for it ask rainbird or azreal etc)

I had spent a lot of time and effort on that car replacing everything ascociated with the brakes and suspension to make it a good reliable track car that we were hoping to use over a period of time, im not going to cry over its loss, its a car not a family member but i am none the less gutted about what happened as anyone would be who crashed a car they enjoyed driving.

Cant believe some of the comments on here to be honest, and very dissapointed at all the rumours flying round.

If a biker came off on oil it was NOT from our car as the car still has all the oil in it, the impact with the barrier broke the radiatior, and the car lost its coolant into the mud at the side of the track as it was sat there with the engine running for a few minutes while me and mike got out, checked we were ok and gave the car a quick look over to see if it was driveable.
As mentioned above if there was oil on that corner its far more likely i was also a victim of it than it was my fault it was there!

Rick

ur mates know the truth mate - most important thing. Welcome home, and cool to know ur safe

RichardPON

Very disappointed in the stuff written on Ben Lovejoy's site, since it's probably the most respected Nurburgring info site in the world.

Anonymous

Indeed, i guess he can only report on what he has heard, but you would have thought he would at least TRY and get the facts first.

Ive emailed him, no idea if that will do any good or not though.

Chip your just a tosser.

I can see you now laughing at your crash.

Your no fucking hero.

NathR

Main thing is everyones ok, Chip. Did you get the car home? I've experienced first hand the ball ache in getting wrecks home from the Ring.

Anonymous

Its in germany awaiting a decision from the insurance company, im 101% sure they will write it off and scrap it locally though.

You can see that can you phil?

Funny, cause im not laughing, im actually in quite a bit of pain from it, and im pretty upset over the car, especially for mongo as through no fault of his own he now doesnt have the car anymore either, and he enjoyed driving it too.

Only you could pick a thread about someone having a fairly serious car accident and choose to use it to abuse that person phil

I can HONESTLY say if the same thing happened to you, my first reaction, would be to hope that you were ok and no one was injured etc, as thats what ANY decent person would feel.

kennyA

Chip, glad you and the others are ok and home safe. It was a pleasure to meet you all.

Pity about the car, never mind if its only the Rad and some front end damage, I'm sure you will be able to fix it.

I hope you did not have to pay too much to get the car off the track.



see you all again next time.

Kenny.

Glad you got back in one piece mate. Sorry to hear about your bimmer

Most important question though! yep you guessed it. Did you learn anything from your crash?

Anonymous

Whole shell is twisted, fixing it would require a new shell, not really an option sadly.

Luckily doesnt owe us too much money though, certainly well under 3K, so pretty affordable to lose, still a bit gutting though just cause it was such good fun.

Katie

Glad you're back home ok mr

SPADGE

Phil why don't you go spend another 10-20-30 grand you can't afford just to get some attention You have a serious problem with insecurity and are no doubt feeling left out as you didn't have a crash
Stop being a tosser for once matey!


Chip shame about the car but if your going to total one make sure your having fun in the process
