Nice find Duane even though it made me feel a bit sick watching it, just show's Johnny's nephew did nothing wrong the civic just turned straight into him, no wonder the poor lad looked shell shocked.

Its exactly as Jonny's Nephew described he intended on going to the second exit and the civic just turned straight into him!!!

**Al115** · Tuesday 26th July 2011, 19:39

That sucks hugely - it was bad enough just seeing the poor car afterwards!

Civic driver was clueless.

Sam was sat waiting to go out so long my camera went flat.

JT · Tuesday 26th July 2011, 19:45

What are your plans Johnny? Are you goind to source a new shell or try to repair that one?

JT · Tuesday 26th July 2011, 19:54

at the mo all i can see wrong is a bent subframe
all the sub mounts are intact, but the frame is bent

I think we can repair what we have

It was good to have AndysR turn up and run, i knew his auto would be quick

Also, you could really see the benefits of the fmic on smithness' car. He was still getting quicker whilst the rest of us were struggling.

I'm glad everyone involved in JT's incident was ok. I do think the muppet that ran into him should be picking up the bill though.

Sorry to hear about the gearbox Emlyn, that is some hole! you may as well do the RMS at the same time when you swap it out.

Thanks to smithness/claymore for my new toy.

Hi Ed, good to see you and your car again. I think you also did well on Sunday, shame we didn't get a run in together would have been an interesting one... Maybe next time.

Good news that the damage wasn't structural, fingers crossed it can be repaired. Have you heard anything from the Civic driver at all or are you letting it lie?

Are you like the English version of Inspector Clouseau or the real life version of Inspector Gadget? Always manages to pull results....... lol

JT · Tuesday 26th July 2011, 20:40

what can i do?
private land and all that......

as i said at the time, the car was built for racing, so it was bound to happen at some point and I had already prepared myself for it.

wasn't expecting it in this way, but stuff happens

I'd have wanted an appology at the very least imho. Yeah I guess, fair play to you for being so calm and laid back about it, but then what you have said is correct. There is nothing you can do as it was private land so no point getting upset about it I guess...

That is excellent news, a subframe should be cheap enough. I just sold one for £20 to LeeT5.

Keep us updated

Pedro did you find it on a Honda/Civic forum? If so care to send me a link via PM. I am keen to find out what has been said.

Cheers

I'd say post up the link on the forum but we have enough interVolvo wars without the need to involve the Japanese...
