kingbiscuit Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 My latest mods. 2 trees jumped out at me and got caught in my front bumper. Bloody environmentalists! Burn the trees down! Quote
M350ZB Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 Jesus hope your all allright, looks like a nasty wack !!!! Quote
kingbiscuit Posted September 24, 2008 Author Posted September 24, 2008 Jesus hope your all allright, looks like a nasty wack !!!! Not a scratch on me. Interior was left completely intact. Zeds are strong as F**k I was expecting several broken limbs or even death as I hit the tree head on. I just jumped straight out the car, quickly checked if all by body parts were still attached and asked a passer by if I had any blood on me Sore neck yesterday though Quote
Sarnie Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 @*!#!!!!!!!!!!!! Where was that? Looks like a total write off..................... Quote
kingbiscuit Posted September 24, 2008 Author Posted September 24, 2008 @*!#!!!!!!!!!!!! Where was that? Looks like a total write off..................... In Redditch getting onto the dual carriageway. Hit some oil or deisel when shifting up and back end just went. Traction control was non existent. Wish I'd fitted that Racelogic Traction control mow. A bit of a respray and some duct tape and she'll be runnin fine Quote
GIXXERUK Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 HOLY CRAP !!! YOU MUST BE IMMORTAL Quote
M350ZB Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 Glad your all ok, sorry to see the Zed like that though, but main thing is your all o.k and safe and sound. What are your plans now then ?, Must be a right off ! Quote
GIXXERUK Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 could do with lowering and some rear led's just you in the car kingy ? you're a jammy dodger mate Quote
kingbiscuit Posted September 24, 2008 Author Posted September 24, 2008 HOLY CRAP !!! YOU MUST BE IMMORTAL I dont know about that but I'm gonna be sticking a tenner on the EuroMillions Lotto on Friday I dont know what the Zed got in the NCAP tests but I think she deserves a 5 from me Quote

A bit of a respray and some duct tape and she'll be runnin fine Unfortunately TC can't defy the laws of gravity. If your gunning it and hit a patch of oil/diesel TC ain't gonna do nothing as the oil/diesel is preventing the wheels from grabbing friction on the road...........thats a sorry sight mate Quote

What are your plans now then ?, Must be a right off ! I was too happy to not be dead to really give a shite about the car. I was the only one in the car thank god. (yes, I have no friends) Shame but I'm sure i can just buy a new one (insurance permitting) Quote

kingbiscuit Posted September 24, 2008 Author Posted September 24, 2008 On a happier note. Anyone wanna buy a Nismo carbon gear stick knob??? Quote
GIXXERUK Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 On a happier note. Anyone wanna buy a Nismo carbon gear stick knob??? did you pull you're knob off before the recovery lorry arrived ? Quote
ARphotographs Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 should t-cut right out!! good to hear you walked away untouched!! that back spacer is definitely ott, your wheel should still be under the wheel arch, not halfway across the road Quote
bronzee Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 Well on the upside for you, you're in one piece, bar a sore neck, and I wouldn't think the insurance company would be arguing about writing it off. Thank goodness for side intrusion bars, imagine what the car would have been like without them! Was it just a drop of diesel on the road, or like someone had put it down on the road deliberately??? Quote
Stew Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 Glad you're not injured. Now everyone can see where all that extra weight goes in the Zed. Just think if you'd been in an Elise or Seven style car! Quote
IanS16 Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 Bet you needed a fag after that (unless you actually managed to quit ) Well at least you didnt have the ECU done, could have been a waste of another 3k. Were you insured on the mods? Quote
martinmac Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 Glad you walked away from this one bud, looks very nasty. Quote
Chris`I Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 F00kin 'ell! Glad you're ok. Just goes to show that the Zed is a stong ass car! I dont think it has an NCAP rating, but as you say, that should get some serious brownie points. Quote
Digsy Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 Wow, that Zed stood up well. Glad you're ok, lad! Quote
nixy Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 Good God Biccie - what have you been doing? Diesel is totally trecherous stuff! Glad you're ok and have kept your sense of humour! Quote
Beavis Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 OOH NASTY Glad your ok though You wont be coming to Wales then? Quote
Andy Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 +1 on all the above!!! Can't believe you walked away from that unhurt!! Glad you did mind! Quote
GIXXERUK Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 you might need pics that show it in a better light if you're hoping to sell it Quote
