It's all cosmetics fortunately. There's stonechips all the way down the drivers side and my new pristine GTR Rim needs re- refurbing that's all :)

Paul's going to cry when he reads about the rims :D that was a seriously scary moment though, the worst off I've seen at a D1 event.

Whats one of them?

14-09-2005, 10:52

im guessing it's a ringpiece contracting from the size of a 10p, down to the size of a 5p?

or am I just sick and wrong?

Moby-Dick

14-09-2005, 10:57

you are sick and right ;)

Jeeezus midges....
That was a close one...
I can't believe you didn't have a cage in that already? Rules are being changed and you will need a cage to enter comp's next year anyways. So worth while getting one me thinks. I have some funky yellow padded thing in my S14. It's the dogs.

hahahahaha lol mate thats the feckin coolest :D hahaha you tit what you like :D Makes me realise the moneys worth it now I put a cage in mine looking at that.

Its the rolling you have to worry about when drifting more than anything elseI reckon. You think about when your most likely to loose it and given the angle your likely to exit the track at rolling is a very high probability if you catch even a small rut or hole when travelling sideways. :wack:

How fast was that corner? :eek:

It's a bit of a drastic way to say "Bren, I think we need a cage in there..." :D

It does worry me that the way stunt drivers flip cars is to spin them sideways so that the tyre grips, it tips the car over. Good job it wasn't on the blacktop!

14-09-2005, 21:58

:eek: that looks fun

14-09-2005, 22:08

Kieran wouldn't have done that. :no:

:p

Did you vomit after it?

AlexF

14-09-2005, 22:23

We were watching from the grandstands and nobody couldn't believe how close you got to rolling and yet somehow didn't, you're a lucky man!!!

Cage is going in my s13 early next year :nod:

SteveDunn

Average speed through that corner is about 70-75mph I believe. Seeing as Midgers is a complete nutcase though it was probably about 70-75 by the time he'd slowed down a bit and hit the gravel :D Luckily the buildup of gravel being pushed sideways by the car meant that the car had a nice little bump/bank thing to rest on and roll back over onto its wheels...

When I got over to him in the pits I had a quick look inside the car, all I could see was a hugely sucked up leather seat that appeared to be now in the shape of a rectum!? Must have been gripping that seat hard :D

Midgers

14-09-2005, 22:35

Lol :d

When you said you nearly rolled it I didnt reaise you were being 100% accurate with your description! :eek: I just scrolled down through the pics with a greater intake of breath as I saw each pic!

I be you felt alive after that! :D

Feck it mate, you got through it, no real harm done and youve got some serious kick as pics as momentos. I cant believe no one got any footage :( Cool photos :notworthy

A cage would be wise ;)

Aye it was an experience I'm not gonna forget in a hurry :D

Nick of DME walked over just after it happened and said "So when you coming to see me about a cage then?"
I said "I'm sure there's room for some D1 DME Stickers on here somewhere, we can work something out "
:D:D

LOL :D

I just heard about this today mate!

Feckin awesome pics!

No wonder you were pestering on all the BBS for them!
