Is straightening the roof out going to be a problem ?

Honestly fella, i really can't believe how straight the car looks considering the other pics of the damage to the side, it really is a testament to how well you built the car.

 

Glad that you're OK Andrew and that the car's not as bad as first feared

 

the roof and pillar are fine just scuffed

 

hello andy i am realy glad that you are ok and your not hurt bad.
i never even new this had happened til harvey told me . i tried to find you before we left at 3pm to catch the boat.
the first photo of the car looked quite bad , but after seeing the old pannels of it, it dont look bad at all , it will be no problems to you to fix this , i no that for sure.

i want to thank you and a mean thank you very much for the passanger ride in the car today , i will never for get it .
the car is so fast i dont no how to explaine it. and the way it handled its like there was a railway track and the car was planted to it.
you and charlie shaw are good crack (total headers but in a cool way) i loved the bit where you said wate til you see this and you slowed of, let charlie past and charlie started to drift at every corner..

i will look forwards to my next passenger ride in this car andy

thanks steven...

 

I think andy could be rich off the amount of people who'd pay for a a passenger ride lol

 

Did anyone catch a vid of it cos i still dont know what happened!?

 

great to hear who were involved are safe,car was an amazing piece of kit made my jaw drop every time i saw it drive past, i think the build is a testament to andys abilities, awesome piece of machinery mate, im sure ul av it built in no time

 

I was gutted when i heard about it.Ive just seen them pics and the car looks fooked.Knowing AG it will be back out racing this weekend.

 

hope your ok Andy and you rebuild the car gutted for you was thinking that all the way back homehope your ok looked serious

 

Good to read that you are okay.

Guess you won't be at the European Ford Event in september?

 

Gutted by this accident as this is an awesome car but the main thing is that the driver is okay.

Glad no-one got seriously hurt and I'm looking forward to seeing this car back on track in the future.

 

I was video'ing the track action but when harvey went past slow I turned the cam off cos thought they were on the cool down lap!

 

steering failed at 113mph was doing 86 when hit the barrier and it says 4.48 accel G's
and 2.97 latteral G's

 

Piss poor attempt at copying Massa's high speed crash into a wall Andy (only messin' )

Glad you were o.k. and had a chance to chat with you before it all happened. Great that you're still optimistic about the build

 

With an Imact speed of 86MPH Iwould say your a lucky man all things considered Andy.

Seems your guardian angel can indeed fly at in excess of 113.

 

F**K me that was a big impact Andy good to here you are ok. I am sure you will be ready for september race can't wait to see the car in action

 

That cars done you proud, the way its taken the impact.

 

Thought you were shifting a bit when it went onto the grass, You've come out of it pretty well considering! Car dont look too bad either mate when I saw it on the trailer just after I thought the full car was kinked cos the front screen frame looked twisted but glad to here it's all ok

Imagine the same sort of incident in something like a mk4 rst, it'll have been a hell of a different story!

Any injuries Andy or just a bit sore?

 

f*cking sickener m8 . THINK THIS WILL END UP MAKING THE CAR AN EVEN BIGGER LEGEND THAN IT ALREADY IS IF THATS POSSIBLE SO WILL LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING IT ON TRACK AGAIN U NUTTJOB

 

Fook me, 86 mph into a barrier and thats all it did?
Thats a strong car!
So glad to hear its coming back to stand up for the fords

 

think we hit it at around 45degress to it so at least it wasn't head on into it!

 

managed to zoom in!!

 

Good job too i'd say!
Completely off topic, but what your Dad's name?
I remember reading that he used to do rallying, as did my dad, and he thinks he knows of him but cant think of his first name!

 

drew

 

i was gutted seeing the car drive past on the trailer, just shows how much skill you have in safty aspects of your car, i think i might cage mine now..

glad your ok, and get that amazing machine back on track. (excuse the pun)

 

glad you ok fella ,


good luck with the rebuild ,


beef

 

Nope, I thought it was bad that people were cheering at the fact he crashed. Spose you always get these types of people wherever...unfortunately

 

Aaaah, no wonder she was struggling to pass that black puma if she was lugging your big fat arse round the track in YUM lol!!!!

 

When we came up behind the puma it wasnt long before the red flag was out, so she never tried to overtake it, but yes im sure you are right that my massive 14 stone 12 weight would have cancelled out all 711bhp of the car

 

-5.5 G

Wow, thats some serious numbers!

Strong car!

 

How Long you think to you will be back on the Track mate???????

Also had to miss totb, how did u do????

remember 2 years back only seen 1 cossie there on the strip, Did that mad scooby win it again? 4got his name.

 

86mph!!! at point of impact!!..............i can well believe it as i saw the crash happen and my god it was travelin at some pace glad all is ok thou

roll on the rebuild

 

He won the pro drag shootout.

His best time was 9.51 @ 147mph, with a 1.56 60ft

 

Looking at the 2 screens of data you got from your car makes me realize what a f**king awesome piece of kit this car is. Being a welder/fabricator myself, its not so much the quality of the work that impresses me(even thought it does) but the design of the car, you certainly have a good head on you shoulders.

 

i run a corsa power steering setup and i put a nut and bolt through the middle were i joined it it undid its self once just gettin it off the trailer?

 

will the car be back on the track for national day andy? or weren't you planning on going anyway

 

is that your dad in your siggy?

 

yip

 

thats it on the jig all seems good! more pics on resto thread

 

glad it ant that bad mate,my mate's steering broke when he tryed to turn into a corner in the kumho bmw championship car went straight on across the grass hit the barrier and rolled end on end,everyone said that was finished but a week later i had it back to him,but it really shook him up and he retired..........get it done and get back in it good luck...........
