It was years ago mate, never had any pics but it was mullered, iirc its the same car he now competes with in the Saloon Car Championship
A WRC shell isn't the cheapest thing to have to replace

Sorry To Hear
Well read all the replies on this.
Was up at Martins on the Friday, and Martin was very focused on the running of his business and made no comments about this.
These people that mock him, take your head out your ass and get a life. Martin is one sound bloke and the team that work with him are second to none.
Martin truly gutted for you and most of all glad your ok, and no doubt the car will be repaired and improved to prevent something happening again.

I hadn't heard about this until now..
It officially ruined my evening.
Glad Martin is ok, a blowout at 180mph is no joke.. Could easily have ended pretty bad.

Do a search and there are loads more from him including this one, which would apply to a few PF members
