jd Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 have to check the trade stands list. will he now sell the lambo to pay for all these cars he destroys?
Sam B Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 I wonder how long it will take, and how many crashes it will take before he gets the message !!
rae_sti Posted May 6, 2008 Author Posted May 6, 2008 apparently he lost his brakes and threw the car side ways to scrub off speed norris quote on mlr Quote: The cause of the crash was total brake failure on the approach to Tower, I applied the brakes three times but all that happened was the rears locked and unlocked scrubbing no speed. Becuase of this I turned the car in very very early (before the corner) to try and get the car sideways so I could scrub off some speed. It stopped an even more serious possible outcome......ie death for me! Sadly this meant HEAVY contact with Gary (Orange car) and then the tyre wall. There was a full investigation today (after the event) and I have been praised by the clerk of the course for the way I dealt with a very nasty situation. The official cause was "mechanical failure". Sadly this 800mile old Evo 9 RS is a total loss, needs a reshell in the minimum. I may just break the car and take some time out until the green car is fixed though. Kind of makes you realise how dangerous motorsport can be. Cheers all Si p.s. The brakes had boiled fluid which had no previous signs until I applied them on the approach to this corner.
rae_sti Posted May 6, 2008 Author Posted May 6, 2008 (edited) how close paul was in his scoob Edited May 6, 2008 by Rae_sti
Bailey73 Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 p.s. The brakes had boiled fluid which had no previous signs until I applied them on the approach to this corner. Surely if the brake setup was correct then it should not have boiled the fluid??
