Hi guys I was talking to Justin last night as he only lives 10 doors away and popped up for a bit crack and he has looked and said its only bumper, grill, light and possibly a wing he didn't seem overly concerned it was going to be a big repair and he drove it home some 20+ miles so id go on minor damage...

Yes it's my car, I'm sure it was caused for a bad oil leak from engine thats got on the tyres, I'm loosing a fair bit of oil still managed to do the 0-60 and drive home.
Easy fix though, bumper, grill, headlight lights. Should be done for national for round 2.

Glad it's an easy fix, but I'd have the oil leak at the top of the list so it didn't happen again.

Looking at the 0-60 vids, the car sounded awesome.

Yes oil leak needs sorting, my car never used a drop of oil, when I dipped it it was on min mark so new there's a problem.

Only managed a 4.8 0-60. Couldn't get tracktion at all.
There's a good video on my facebook of my lap on track, shows you want it goes like on the back straight.

your car was rapid, spinning all through 3rd gear, even took your lass with you as passenger and still did 4.8 .

Actually we did

And one member admitted to damaging cars that were in the way of his trolly. I don't think it fared well with the rest of us

If i'd had another couple of foot braking room i'd have stopped in time
I got all 4 wheels locked up coming over a crest into 90 degree left hander and slid out wide to the right as it's a weird camber that slops away from the apex toward the armco on the outside

That's why I thought it ideal to give you a hand get the car straight as its the last thing you want when you've had a bump.
