Kirk Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 Bad luck, hope you get it sorted even if you mis suprapod. Is it still on the road side? If so id get it moved asap before idiots start to smash it up and nick bits off it. Drag it out of the ditch with a 4x4 if needed at least then your'll be able to get it on a trailer. Its been recovered off the road side at the recovery place just off the M6. Once i sort a trailer ill be going getting it and bringing it home.

Kirk Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 Probably of zero consolation to you at the moment but walking away unscathed after experiencing just how easily and quickly you can go from being in control to being a passenger can be a valuable learning experience. Totaly agree with that. Ive never been one to not be able to control my car in any situations infact the thing that gets me the most is i drove my car all through the snow last winter and never had one incident but its definatly an experience i wont forget. Nothing more i could of done so i let the wheel go and braced myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty71 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 what speed do you think you were doing out of intrest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 In all honesty i was doing short of 55 keeping a safe distance between me and the car ahead. Just so happened when i turned the wheel the back end stepped out without much effort at all. The police man who attended was understanding enough and knew himself that can be a tricky corner at the best of times so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamc Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 That was the exact reason I sold my supra. Driving home, nice and calm, engine still cold, roads a touch damp...... Massive oversteer.....rather lucky I had 3 lanes to play with. Shame to see it happen though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I wasn't sure if you were going to post anything up so I kept schtum. Thanks for involving me in the thankyous but I was going to leave you there. It was Mrs H, Lynz and Neil who got you out of the mire. You did have some of my free beer so I suppose I can take the credit from that. Please let me know if you need any help with the parts or even getting it back on the road. Mark who was here would certainly be a good cheap way of getting a quality job done to it. We'll have to see what can get in the back of the Audi if we can't find someone with a van. H.

RobUK Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Gutted! I know exactly how you feel! Good luck with the rebuild.... Not sure if I have any parts that will help but I'll keep my eyes out for a list of what you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 What a shame, bad luck Martin Hope you can get it repaired, it didn't look TOO bad from the pics on facebook. I have quite a few parts lying around, let me know if you need anything. Out of interest do you have a limited slip diff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Good to hear that you two are OK, the car can be fixed, would be interesting to know what tyres you were running.
