Well ... Sad news I'm afraid -
Just got this text from my mate - " Your investment is dead ! spun 3 times into the barrier and been charged 1200 euros ! We'll give you your money back when we get back".
Rang him to make sure he was OK and they are ....
They got there no problem - the car ran really well, and they were about 4 minutes into their first and only lap when they spun it and went into the wall sideways. Panel damage mostly, but still running OK. They've patched her back together with cable ties and gaffer tape and will be back tomorrow.
Oh well ... At least they're OK, but not the sort of photos I wanted to be putting up following her outing !
