dibs on the doors if he doesnt have 'em

surely the pillar will just hammer out?

PS i think i was a bit unfair before, i hadnt seen the video... cant properly comment on what the visibility was like (as seen with the previous video, the camera surely cant be picking up as much as your eyes, unless you are insane and doing 60+ with a 10m reaction distance) but it was all like... ok.. i'd love to go fast here but the fog's stopping me.. let's take this here corner.......... oh, crap, its too tight!

nurburgring type wipeout

totally bad luck thing (wellllll ya might have been going a tad too fast like, but it was just *bam* no warning)

What was that knocking sound at the end, just after you had crashed?

Thanks for the offer m8, but i dont think it can be saved really coz of the damage to the A pillar (for safety reasons)

Cheers.

The driveshaft had actually snapped just before the CV joint, & that was the sound you heard
