Ouch.
Ive only gone and stacked it !!!
Under braking the rear end overtook the front end, and end up gong backwards underneath an Armco barrier. A Piece of Armco flew off and hit me on the head knocking me out cold, and leaving me a 9cm cut and 9 stitches to the head, I'm now into my fourth week of concussion. I am doing ok, no lasting problems, although I am very lucky to make it out the other side given what hit me on head.
The car....... well its been written off
Everything behind the seats is bent, including the rear firewall and frame.
The roll cage did its job and stopped the Armco going into the passenger compartment, as the rear of the car went underneath the barrier.
Considering it only had 600 miles on the clock Im kinda gutted......

I have decided NOT to buy back the salvage and rebuild it. It took 2 1/2yrs to build it and since the birth of my baby daughter I wont be ale to find another 2 1/2 years to rebuild it.

Cheers
Steve
