Had abit of a prang.



  Disco 3 &4 1993 mini
So I was at the brand trackday today, it was nearing the end and Tyres were getting colder I over cooked it and spun. No one around me so I let the car roll back so the rear wheels were in the gravel so I was out of the way. Yellow flags came out everyone past apart from one guy who thought it'd be a good time to try and overtake. Now for those of you that know brands the last corner in the sort of weather stays wet on the outside. So he then understeered straight into me. Anyway me and my mate have whiplash but otherwise ok. Pics below.

Na he's not give anything towards it he blamed me.

His car was quite bad too but not as bad as mine.

No idea on plans yet maybe repair and sell.

Defo wanted to smack him but as soon as I got back garage I went for walk for a while.

Did he admit it was his fault ? I know nothing can be done as there is no insurance but he most feel guilty ?

Hope you get it sorted mate.

Sam!

If the yellow flag was out how did he think it was ok to overtake or that it was even remotely your fault!

Fell really sorry for you. Hopefully the engine and box is fine.

Can't believe he came and blamed you for it.

Definately. I'd have at least given him a slap.

Bang out of order is that.

i would have smashed his teeth in mate but doesnt always help...sorry to see that looks pretty cream crackered
 
Hope your okay Lee, you must be properly gutted! Went to see the S3 after looking at yours and I overheard the chump who was driving say to his mate say 'well thats motorsport for you!' Trust me I wanted to slap him for you, that kind of attitude needs beating out of him especially when its just a trackday! Was worried in the morning that having a couple of Time Attack cars going round on a normal trackday could lead to potential problems.

Hopefully you can get it sorted, one way or another. :)
