Gutted about the damage!

I've been toying with getting a second car for ages now but have finally decided to do the sensible thing and keep my money. I was sorely tempted when I saw a stunning AC Cobra replica for sale a couple of months back.

Need to get the car back together, but provided I can get it sorted, yep.

Reason I got this Paul was it was uber cheap, they are in general a fairly cheap fun car.

Matt was on his way back from from our place. When I first heard what had happened I felt incredibly guilty, as we'd been out sliding the Manta about and I was worried I'd inspired him into taking some risks! Was glad to hear it was caused by debris.

Car is sound and drives very nicely, feels tight and strong.

That's terrible luck

I'm sure you'll have it back to tip top in no time though...

Thanks all. No worries Leon, I know that getting a rwd out is a lot different to getting mid engined + rwd stepping out. Besides I can imagine when you were born you popped out holding a powerslide and doing mock throttle balancing. It was just too dodgy weather and my lack of experience to start attempting my first slide.

Now I will admit that some car park somewhere will be abused in the future. Thats the only place really

edit:- should add it was only cosmetic that was damaged, mechanically the car is totally fine, bar bumper bar etc
