Unfortunately Hywel made it to old sodbury and then had to wait for the rac to come and save him.

I made it back way before him which is quite annoying, however on the plus side a new engine is being built for it at the moment, so hopefully it will be back for next year with less smoke and more power

Im off to the garage to adjust my suspension settings..

Argh that sucks :(

Was suprised when you said he'd already been through 4 engines this year!!!

And I dont get it when people clap and cheer when they see a car being completely smashed in, especially when the driver of it has just been wheeled off in an ambulance.

Was a bunch of older guys doing all the jeering, would have thought theyd be abit more sympathetic, like they would be if they or someone they new has just crashed their car *angry*

out of folly it hit an oil patch left by another car that had a problem on the track. spun around backwards and hit the armco reasonably hard.

there was a call for a fire extinquisher and the driver was taken to hospital unfortunately.

didnt see the blue clubby though!

Are you still shaken up then Nic? Id claim. Insomnia at nights due to traumatic stress.

Naughty Robert. *tongue* I thought you like being shook up by Robert, Nic?

Back once again like a renegade master

I was right next to where the bini came to a halt... passenger got out fine, but the driver was out cold, and still was when the recovery crews arrived to block the view..

Was surprised me off with it tho, was the fact that it took so long for the marshals to arrive. There was manned post at the end of the pits with the next post was on avon rise!

There were quite a few people about going "whoo another fake mini down" etc etc.. as you say.. fucking wankers
