R.I.P. williams 0266

mark266 · Dec 23, 2004

Last Wednesday i was unfortunate enough to hit a patch of ice on the way home, on a very sharp and narrow corner in west farleigh and understeered into the side of an on-coming 54reg land rover of all things!

After exchanging details with the land rover driver, i bent the ripped and twisted inner wing away from the tyre on which it was scrapping and limped (very slowly) home.

Admiral have just informed that renault clio williams 0266 has been declared a total loss. *coughs* *w@nker$* *coughs*

Im very sad

Bad news mate, always sad to hear another williams gone.

You should buy her back from the insurance company and get her back on the road, at least sell me the engine!

mark266 · Dec 23, 2004

the only consalation being that they have offered to sell it back to me

Gutted for ya mate. You must be well upset. I think you should buy it back and put the engine in a Valver. If not then sell me the engine and gearbox. Pretty please

Mole · Dec 23, 2004

damn mate, sorry to hear of your misfortune with the car. but atleast your still in one piece,

Even thou it was a very special car, your life is always of more value.

I reckon u should buy it back, and either repair it, or atleast sell the stuffs.

I guess i wont be seeing you down maidstone for a long while?

Munson · Dec 23, 2004

Arghh poo

Ive always been fond of the Williams. Does anyone remember the group Just Williams that fronted up to Renault when the released the Willy 2? My pops was the founder

cliopower · Dec 24, 2004

get a 1.8 and transplant the parts that are left into the shell when you buy it back. Shame to see another Williams 1 go.

rockport · Dec 24, 2004

Sorry to hear the bad news.. Make sure you buy it back tho! The engine will cover your costs alone. But i feel reincarnation is deffo the way forward for 266. All willys deserve a 2nd chance. lol

badinvincible · Dec 24, 2004

Unlucky mate, I hope you get something sorted.

MrAtego · Dec 24, 2004

A Willy is for life, not just christmas.

how can you feel better ! you wrote off a williams you penis

Nick Read · Dec 29, 2004

It would definiitely be interesting to see which are still on the roads. I know for certain that a fair amount have been written off/scrapped, whether they were all 1s Im not sure of, but there certainly arent 400 any more. Doesnt someone keep a register of them on here? It wouldnt be that hard to put out a call on CS for all the Willy 1 owners to chip in with their numbers so we could see which are still around.
