If it gets to 9 pm evening on Sunday and there are still places available, rather than book through the website, please call me direct and I'll book you in and take the money in cash at signing on.

07/10/2013 05:25:33 Tim Guy Oh Bu99er. Hope you're ok and the car's not too bad.

07/10/2013 05:56:10 Martin C :mad: Sh1t ! ! ! :confused::confused:. Hope you are OK Paul. Can always buy another car, we can't buy another Paul though.

07/10/2013 09:33:25 prb Reckon the insurance company will write it off - book value is peanuts. Might try to buy the wreck and flog the bits. Just bled the brakes 'n all. Probably why I stopped and the three behind didn't! Lucky the fuel tank didn't split - had just filled up, and had another 20 litres in a can in the back. Could have been a rather toasty Paul. Looks like the TF for Brands after all, so I might be joining Steve B in the kitty litter!;) Damn rear wheel drive:rolleyes:

For some reason it was 'pick on me' day at Donington especially when I was about to show Dawn from CN the way around the circuit in my car... All my 'new friends' that had clearly never seen a woman before and were like Bees around Honey, were saying "Ooh, hang on Dawn" and such like! Is my driving [I]that bad...........? :p [/I]

08/10/2013 12:19:00 Steve Hill Was that you and Dawn that went straight on at the chicane? If so then an explaination is required! :)

08/10/2013 13:29:52 Stu Obviously just showing Dawn where the old chicane used to start :D

08/10/2013 15:21:02 Trophy-Steve Dawn asked "What is that extra bit of road?"... So I demonstrated how safe motor sport is these days and how concrete run-offs help, just like gravel traps... The fact I was bedding in new rear pads didn't help and rather than go the wrong side of the chicane, I aborted the turn when I felt a slight lock up... Dawn, as CN's Marketing Manager, was very impressed with my quick thinking!:cool:

08/10/2013 18:04:17 Martin Holmes Blimey -I've heard some excuses but that takes the biscuit!! Video please so we can all judge if there was a lock up?!?

08/10/2013 18:21:01 Stu [quote=Martin Holmes]Blimey -I've heard some excuses but that takes the biscuit!! Video please so we can all judge if there was a lock up?!?[/quote] Is that a typo ? Lock up ? Should that not start with a 'C' :D Stu

08/10/2013 19:08:20 prb For "behind the bike sheds" read "behind the pits"? ZR will be written off. Investigating buying the wreck, so there may be a box of facelift ZR parts for sale soon...:cool:

08/10/2013 20:34:40 Martin Holmes Sorry to hear of your 'incident' ( with the accent on Dent! ) Paul but thank goodness you are personally ok as that's the important part. Nasty place to be our motorways when these wretched prangs happen and sadly they seem to happen more and more these days. We missed you at Donny but will be observing eBay for ZR bits with interest!!
