Here are some pics of my spin at the nurburgring that will mean that I have a different wheel on the car for pod. They are taken from the video of the spin which I will get up when I sort out my pc. Enjoy eek

Me over taking the TV photo Car

That doesn't look right....

and relax

So as you can see it was fun and hence the bent wheel and the sill that needs welding. But hey it could have been worse Confused

Bloody hell Matt, you nearly didnt have a Mk1 there.

Did you sustain any damage at all?

matt · Posted: Wed Jun 01, 2005 10:53 pm Post subject:

yes Al some small damage. A bent front wheel, which I still haven't got a replacement for so will have one odd wheel for PV. Also ripped the sill of a bit on the rear, nothing major just needs welding back on. I'll bring the actual video for you to watch sunday it looks loads worse in the photos than in the video.

I was very lucky to not have done something major, very lucky. But I was back out the next day big grin
