There might be a rather fast Transit connect entering Time Attack in the not to distant future.

gutted

 

Gutted was so wanting to see it set a new top speed record...I think while its getting built bang the engine in a old saff and beat rods record.....

 

Glad to hear Andy is ok. Hope the car lives again too

 

I was over at the end of the 0-60 strip and heard the crash.

Managed to get to the barriers in time see the rescue truck arrive. I shot a couple of minutes of the rescuse guys around the car. Will see if there is anything worth posting once i have captured all the tapes into the puter.

Ww

 

never got to see you after andrew but im really sad to see this, gutting, but your ok, the car is repairable, im sure it will be back out and wiping the floor with everything in a couple of months

 

So glad to hear Andy is ok, the car looked a right mess on the truck

Which bit of the track did he go off at?

 

I think while its getting built bang the engine in a old saff and beat rods record...........

Love to see that.

 

+1 would be good to see

 

nasty one....glad your ok andy

its only a car at the end of the day

 

My wife is visably upset. We both loved the cars today and this is a shock to the system.

Awesome driveing from the two of you and im just glad i got to see it in the flesh before the crash

As said already its only a car and im glad youre ok.

Im sure it will turn out better than ever!

 

We were by my car when we herd a very big bang me and my mate said it was just a car back fireing and my wife said no that was a car hitting somthing very hard with that we sore some smoke and heads were turning . we went and had a look and i just could not beleve wot i was seeing . im just so glad that they got out of it ok and it just gose to show ANDY can build a car that will save your life when you need it most

 

Me and Helen were out in YUM on the same session, came round the bend and saw it there, didnt look too bad as we drove past, but having seen it on the trailer it was obviously one hell of a whack.

Didnt look like the strut tops had move much if it all, in fact the whole main body of the cage looked to still be in one piece, just the outer tubing that went out to the bumpers etc that was badly bent.

Im sure its repairable by a man of andy's talents if he so wishes, but that was one hell of a whack.

Certainly know who to go to if I ever need a VERY strong and still light car building for me though, how well it took that impact is a real testament to how well built it was, I hate to think how much worse my own car would come off from a similar impact!

Really puts into persepective how dangeous our hobby really is!

Glad to hear you are OK Andy mate, and Im sure you will take this in your stride as you always seem to with everything that happens!

 

Glad he's ok. Saw the incident vehicle then the doctors car go flying out and started imagining the worst. The whole place went eerily quiet after the crash.

 

glad your ok andy but real shame about the car.

 

Gutted glad Andy is ok, see the car parked up as we was heading to our track session didnt look to good


Brian

 

Glad he's ok - looks a nasty one

Such a shame, this car looked like it was going to be THE ford of 2009, having said that it'll be probably back out by sept and Driven hard again

 

As Chip said really, when we drove past did not look too bad, the saw it on the trailer....

Glad to hear you are ok tho apart from a few bruises that are going to make you ache tomorrow!

 

Well done to silverstone for how they handled it and everything else today, very impressed with how quickly he was taken to the medical centre etc, they seemed really on the ball today.

 

I saw him waving but we were not having a scuffle as I was trying to learn the track!!

Gutted for Andrew though

 

Gutting about the car ,glad all persons involed are ok

 

Gutted for you Andy.. Looking forward to seeing this bad boy rebuilt!

 

Such a shame

On the other hand tho atleast their were no injuries, a car is a car at the end of the day.

Even though you have crashed it atleast it show what such a strong and light car it it.

 

Our stand was on the high ground near the complex and as soon as we saw the car come round on the recovery truck, everyone just ghasped!

Glad there was no serious injuries, as impressive as it was, it is only a car, the people inside matter more.

Glad to hear it's being rebuilt though, heard lots of rumours that it was beyond repair, which I found quite surprising to be honest!

 

Was watching the car on the lap he crashed was going well, such a shame but glad he ok!!

 

Glad Andy is ok... was worried to fuck today when Chip phoned to ask how we were getting on with the Tigra and told me!

Seems like a good opportunity to put it to one side and have a relax for a while before making some decisions imo

 

If he isnt too sore im sure the car will be stripped 2 moro ready to be worked on, But im pretty sure he will be sore when he wakes up 2 moro & pretty sure he does as well.
Martin sorry could have worded that better no pun intended

 

Did anybody find it a bit awful how some of the crowd cheered? I presume that was what it was for....

 

My AG pics, I was near where they go onto track when I see aload of movement going on, so went and see this... Shame

 

Unfortunately that doesn't surprise me having read this:

Utter low-lives

 

Andy, did the engine stall straight away in the crash?

Only I noticed the oil cooler was peeled open.

 

glad to hear your ok andy

 

I asked him earlier on a text chip if the engine was ok he reckoned it was

 

Harvey will be gutted

Seriously though, thats good news, I figured with it landing on its wheels it would just stall and be ok.

Obviously worth checking the mains and big ends etc when its out the car soon though just to be sure.

 

gutting.
most the hardware looks intact altho if the shell is fubarred i bet its some moneys/times worth

 

I was thinking more something coming in & hitting the belt maybe bending a valve or that but fingers crossed.Im sure the resto thread will be in overtime over the next few weeks.

 

No it didnt look like that had happened mate, belt was still in tact and didnt look damaged.

 

I know it's human nature to be nosey, but to be honest I wouldn't have been crowding round it either!

 

F*cking devastating! Glad he's ok though!
