I had a bad day at Oulton Park the other week, I hit the tyre wall pretty hard...

Can anyone recommend somewhere that might be able to repair it near Chester? I've heard good thinks about James Alpe in Clitheroe.

Does anyone know of one being broken up with a good frontend?

I don't know how badly damaged it is as they insisted I went to hospital. The airbags didn't go off and engine still starts but apparently its being knocked off its mounts.

talk to grizz..hope your ok..looks bad but cars can be replaced..bones are harder to repair..and pride can mend very well..

ouch

EBAY NOW 2 BREAKING

Its all fixed and MOT'd (and no, it hasn't been cheap...)

I'm due to get it back this week but another issue has just crept up...

The EPC light is stuck on, the body shop have taken to Audi to diagnose and they come back saying the ABS Pump is shot or a wiring problem.

Any one else had a similar issue?

Cheers

over 18 months to repair.....ouch. silly question but did you have trackday insurance?

No I didn't, but would suggest anyone who takes their car on a track to get it...

I was under instruction at the time. My 2nd 15 mins with an instructor that day. He was happy with my lines through the corners etc, so we were working on my braking. He told me not to brake till he told me to as I was braking too early. This was fine for 2 laps until he forgot to mention braking. You don't have too much time at 120mph, by the time I realised he'd forgotten I was already through the apex (and heading for oblivion). The back end let go and I became a passenger... Not the best day I've ever had but probably the most expensive...

Thought about attempting to sue but its my word against his and the disclaimer is pretty watertight...

Its taken a while to get enough parts to make it viable to repair, but its looking like its going to cost what it is worth to get it fixed...

im off to oulton park in a couple of weeks. i will not be getting an instructor, i would rather go at my own pace and brake when i want to, after a few sessions you soon get to know a track. sorry about your mishap
