Bummer even further up the packing order on the grid lol

Oh No!! 
You know what you've got to do
Get some credit cards? lol
LOL,
Dont all get worried yet,, 170BHP might be the limit of my talent!
And we all have to run out of that at some point.
I've yet to speak with my engine builder about spec, so what I want and what I can afford may be two different things, But still good news that I have some available funds to invest in the car.
See you next year (in my mirrors):rasp:

Apart from a set of mark/James hub set up, my wish list is, some brakes that work and some tyres that aren't worn out r888's. I'll be midfield at best

The car mechanically isnt too bad, subframe bent, drivers side hub broken but it does need a shell change,
Not sure whether I cought the kebing, They have built a great big sausage on the inside of this corner recently due to the new track limits rule, In all honesty I was going in a bit hot and missed third gear coming down the box so that didnt help, But have a feeling my left right front took a bit of the concrete sausage and pushed what was an already unbalanced car over.
I'll post some more pics ina while

Jesus! Hope you're okay mate!
Sorry to see that Dave! Hope you are okay and can get back out soon. If I can be of any help with anything just shout.
Lol sorry that didn't sound how I meant it!!
What I meant is you didn't get any serious injuries, which is the most important thing.
Cage seemed to hold the roof in really well!
Thanks James,
How much to rent your car? lol.
Fingers crossed I should have something sorted by Rockingham, we'll see as there is not much mechanical damage. Just the shell
I can also give you a ph1 shell if any good from Suffolk!
glad to hear your ok!
glad to hear your ok!
Haha don't know but its sat ready to go lol!
I work in Essex during the week so if you need any help in evenings just let me know
Thanks for the offer guys, I'm not sure what my plans are yet, I may buy a complete car or wait for a shell with a cage already in

I've said my bit on TA forum. Glad you are ok though Dave.

How was the car before the roll? Much improved? Any bright sides to look at

The car initaily felt alot tighter with better turn in, The back end was alot stiffer but still getting some understeer, I'd only done 2 laps before my shunt and Paul and James had sent me out just to bed the new pads in and see how the car felt.
It felt good so was trying to find its limit,, Should of tried at a different corner really, but I have never minded getting it wrong here as there is plenty of run off, Little did I know I would catch that new concrete sausage!
If I hadnt of missed third gear I dont think we'd be having this conversation.
ah, blimey sorry to see\read this Dave, your ok that's the main thing. We're off there on 13th and I was looking at all the barriers (in your vid) they've put on the infield on Hamilton etc...MSA taking the no wheels going off seriously.
Hope you can get hold off a decent shell and get up and running again soon.
