any stump can go fast in a straight line,i thought martins car was more designed to go wound a curve.

What times did you manage to get in before disaster struck?
And when will it be repaired and out again?

Just see how this could knock you back as you must have spent a mortgage on this car as it is

But it still did 0-60 in 3.9 seconds with 1.5 bar boost and with most of the drive to the rear wheels.. I think it did about 175 in a mile with the same boost but can't be 100% sure..

Are you going to need to fit a new 1/4 panel or is it repairable? can't really tell from the pic but has it done the sill, roof and ineer arch much damage..I bet it went with a bang? enough to scare the shit out of you anyway! lol...
properly hat off to you mate for creating such an awesome car and then still being able to smile even after all the issues you have had with it..

most "stumps" wouldve binned it if that happened mate,so no not any old stump can drive fast in a straight line
