alright.. i'll fess up.... the mini is fine... well.... as fine as it was yesterday...
well... i
did fit new bushes to the upper engine steady.....
but i'll stand by the honesty of what i've typed...

that is the outside of a right hander which zings back leading into that left hander.
the geography is true...

i
was going side ways, but i was sideways going
in to the right hander (fully sick rally stylez

)
i, in fact, was going sideways.....

Quote:
i was in the wrong gear and didn't have the revs to get the car moving forward...i brake and i suddenly find out how much new gravel has just been laid down in resurfacing the road...... crap loads.....
'tis true... lots of gravel.....lots of braking..

the wheels stop, the engine stalls, and i'm along for the ride...
yep... still true..

quite true....
Quote:
the photo was taken after the "incident"
still true.... (i didn't say
how long after)
Quote:
lets just say that the has a few bits of bent metal and the steering is a "bit" lop-sided.. and there may be a couple of cracked-ish rims...
Still true... just a little creative... i
do have bent bits of metal... (bumpers, control arm) the steering
is a bit lop-sided (i need a wheel alignment... and i have a couple of cracked rims.....(they're at brickworx... waiting to be-welded)
so .. you see... it's not
entirely my fault that you guys thought i'd crashed the mini...
oh... btw.. it wasn't the mini at all....
it was the crv...
but it was ****ing close, i tell you....
that's right.... i am...the "Super Fun Happy Group A CRV Rally Driver, San"
HAI! ARIGATO!!
