Darren-B Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 Andy, so sorry to read of this, glad that the car held together & kept you in one piece 1 Quote
evilscorp Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 Wow, that sounds like a scary off! Glad you are ok and hope you will have a go at fixing her but if not I am sure you can strip her for parts for a replacement. Meteral things can be replaced, though it probably hurts like hell in your heart to see your toy in such a poor state. Quote
Dynamic Turtle Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 Wow that must have hurt, serious off right there. I've driven directly into a tyre wall (at a mere 30mph) and it wasn't fun, took a lot of time and money to fix the car after that. One thing it did make me realise is that having a steel chassis and panel car with a dozen airbags comes in handy some times. You'd be dead in an Elise. Give me five star EuroNCAP any day! Quote
Stutopia Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 Pleased yoy're ok. Sorry to see the Zed like that. No one can say you didn't do it properly though! Quote
TT350 Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 Oh no man. I'm gutted for you. You are, though, alive to tell us about it. You can't be replaced. At the risk of, but not intending to be insensitive, if you wish to find a new home for the chargespeed rear bumper I would be interested. Quote
The Big Miester Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 sorry to see the car in a bad way as every one says your ok though and hope you might be able to repair with the modern car its the things you can't see but are there to save lives..! Hope you manage to work somthing out thou Quote
leonk Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Sh#t! Looked at the first pic and thought that doesn't look too bad.....then scrolled down. Gutted for you, just glad you are ok. Quote
DoogyRev Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Sh#t! Looked at the first pic and thought that doesn't look too bad.....then scrolled down. This ^^ The main thing is you are ok Quote
S7nny Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Little bit of T-Cut and you'll be good to go! Unless it's a non-runner in which case may i refer you to the 'WANTED' section... Quote
Tinyflier Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Sorry to read about this Andy - as you say - that is the peril of racing. I hope you have no lasting effects from this and you manage to get everything resolved car wise without too much additional trauma. David 2 Quote
Will370z Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Ah Andy couldn't believe this when I read it, so gutted for you. I have to say yours was one of my favourite zeds on the forum, a stunning looking car that could win a concourse and yet it was driven as it was meant to be on track and hill climbs. Good on you for using it as such. She was a beauty. Quote
S7nny Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Red Aircraft safety flip switch (Ejector seat)! I'm guessing it was this mod that made all the difference? Quote
Jetpilot Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Ah I just hate that word, "damp", wet or dry and you know where your at, but hate the unpredictability of greasey tarmac. So sorry to see this Andy, cant add anything that hasnt already been said. Quote
LRF4N Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Sh#t! Looked at the first pic and thought that doesn't look too bad.....then scrolled down. This ^^ Same here. Shows how solid the car is even after a roll Can't believe vultures are already circling 1 Quote
davedutch Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Andy, That is one poorly z, truly glad you don't appear to be so poorly, as Chris said, take it easy over the next few days. Wrap your z up in the z shed and see if miracles really do come true. Hope to see you back up and running in no time. Quote
grahamc Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 I saw the first photo and thought, thats not bad at all...... then I saw the other side. Considering you barrel rolled, you are rather lucky you didntland on the roof. Glad you are ok though....... Find a new shell and transfer the engine (and SC )..... perhaps my 240z Quote
jimboy2 Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Ouch. Glad your ok buddy. That looks nasty. Quote
Mudman Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Can't realy add anymore to the above sentiments. This one feels like a death in the Zed family, I hope it can be saved as is truly a special car. 1 Quote
MIGWEL Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Looking at the pics ... Im hoping that the interior panels / frame are ok as i would have thought that this is actually repairable. New wing door. Rear quarter and few other bits .. I really hope they can get this sorted for you .. Glad your ok 1 Quote
bababongles Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Wow, Andy. Bit of a shocker to say the least. Glad you got out ok. Know how much your car means to you so must be one of your worst nightmares come true. Hazards of the job,eh!! Best wishes. Quote
steve916 Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Ouch! Not a nice sight to see Andy, but glad you are ok Quote
Wendy Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Andy - Glad to hear you are OK, shame about your zed though, at least you were enjoying it and driving it as you should. Hopefully it will be able to be fixed. Quote
