Oops...Crashed the V6 (lots of pics)
- Thread starter RobV6

Racing Blue 182
If it gets written off, will probably be worth buying it back cheap and repairing it.

It so easily done in these cars on wet roads.
I had the back shoot out a few times coming out of junctions ect with a bit to much juice.
Quite unpredictable cars in this weather! partly why mine had to go, was scared of doing the same thing.
Good luck with getting it sorted mate.

Hows getting it sorted going Rob ?? any progress .. bad time of year too
Spoke to Admiral yesterday and the work has been authorised to go ahead
I decided to ring the garage to find out what work they intend to do. Apparently they will be replacing the bonnet, front n/s wing, front bumper, repair the rear bumper and n/s rear wing. There was also a list of other small parts like the rubber lip on the bottom of the bumper, fog light surround, etc etc. She also said they will be replacing the front n/s headlight and fog light!! The lights seem fine to me unless the backs have been damaged.
All being well (subject to parts) it should all be getting done shortly and will have it back on the road! The Noble will have to take a back seat for a while though and will have to keep the Vee a while longer.
not that i'm a stalker but i had these on my phone, took in april!!!
looked mint, hope it gets sorted
Ah yes, that would have been outside Last Orders. The g/f would have had it that day.

mk2 front end swap?
Thats a helluva wait, hope its top notch!
Rear wheel drive, get one and you will understand. Specially with rear mounted engines where the weight transfer is sometimes instant.
Yep. I was coming out of a cross road junction. There is a bad camber you have to cross to turn right and the back just kicked out. There was nothing i could do and just had to wait to hit the central reservation!
Mk2 Ph1 1.2
unlucky...gutted for ya mate
So does that mean they (the cars) don't handle or the driver can't handle? Or is it just because of the road conditions? Weight transfer at 20mph....what's it like at 70mph?

Late reply I know, but... tell her off for parking so far from the kerb and not keeping your precious V6 as far away from the car park noobs as possible! When I can find an end space I personally wedge it right up close to the kerb
