Bit of a weird thread but i'm looking for any info/pics of a Saph that was crashed on track back in 1999-2001 or thereabouts. I'm sure there was a series of pictures in "Revs" of it rolling into the gravel trap. I think it happened at Croft and the car was (from memory) Imperial Blue with gold wheels.

Does anyone remember it, is the driver on here and does anyone have pics of it?

Cheers!

I remeber it, had a big impreza style spoiler on the back. Was at a cossie track day, I'll dig the pic out later (unless someone beats me to it)

Yes it was at croft it was a revs magazine event iirc, his peddle went to the floor as he approached clervaux and he yanked the handbrake on it went in the gravel sideways and over.
I used to have the mag but binned it when I moved house in 2006

F#ck hell ( sorry) blast from the past , I was a passenger in the saph it just passed before he decided to enter the corner side way closely followed by the gravel , the mag was snapping pics of him all morning as he was show boating like f[]k , he came from Chelmsford or Colchester direction and luckily for him he trailered it there , it had no cage which the marshals were commenting on

Kevin_Mc

i knew this would be the place to ask. I don't have the mag anymore either, it's long gone

Fuck knows how it came into my head this morning but it did. Looking forward to seeing the pictures.

cossiestu

I remember that! Thought it was Donnington for some reason though....

Sorry, not got the mag anymore.

cosmatt

I did that day in my old saph as well. I remember it was the only one to go on a trailer...and leave on one. I no longer have the pics sorry

Iv got the mag too! Was a cosworth thrash, it had gold wolfrace voodoo wheels.

Ha ha ha!! I'll let you be the judge once photobucket gets a move on!

chris cdti

You not thinking of the black rs500 that entered the pits backwards and meeting the pit wall?

gjh

Not the neatest but you get the idea.

Kevin_Mc

that's the exact article i was looking for - forgot about the Scooby scoop and spoiler, i used to think that was the bollocks

Kev go and stand in a dark corner and have a word with yourself

The Underdog

id forgot that the revs mag ever existed and would have never remembered id seen it in there.

cossiestu

Chris, I def remember the RS500 in the Donnington pit wall, I was stood right opposite! Lol

Frogford

I was there too (alas I had the squits that day so was at the back for all the group photos as I kept running off to the loo!)

Not sure about show boating but he was being a muppet. He came from Chelmsford (pretty sure he part owned Dukes Nightclub from what I recall) and had a massive chip on his shoulder.

Kevin_Mc

In my defence I was only about 12 or 13

I'm glad i posted this up now, I didn't think anyone would remember what I was on about.

cossiestu

What was it that caught fire at Donnington just before the pits? Saff iirc....

Unlucky - that year I saw a skyline t boned on the pit wall...

Davecos4x4 - LeeR21 in the passenger seat... it's on Youtube if you look hard enough, hit the only place on that bend which didn't have any tyres protecting it.

Mike1

Wasn't it a guy called Mike? E300 VKB?

E.T.A. Actually come to think of it that was the crash a few years before.

Andy from Shrewsbury was the other crash a fair few years after

As this thread is on about old mag features does anyone remember the Revs Thrash with a few 3dr's or 500's between 1997-99.

Seem to remember 3 cars 2 white and 1 Moonstone.

If you have a copy scan it up was a quality read just forgot what it said lol

iTrader: (1)

Well look at the state of it.Oviously he wanted a Subaru impreza,so instead of buying one he just makes his saff look like one.

If it was an impreza in the first place he properly wouldnt of crashed lol.
