kingbiscuit Posted September 24, 2008 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingbiscuit Posted September 24, 2008 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(yes, I have no friends) Shame but I'm sure i can just buy a new one (insurance permitting) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARphotographs Posted September 24, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzee Posted September 25, 2008 Share 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???

Stew Posted September 25, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanS16 Posted September 25, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris`I Posted September 25, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
