620Z Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 Ahhhh Nikck. I am sorry to hear that mate. Terrible news. I think most of us have been there and share your pain. A lot of money down the drain. Sometimes doing the Tassie roads for a week beofre highlights any possible problems (except brakes if you ignore the signs) before hitting the track. Oh well save the pennies and go bigger and better. Good luck and keep us posted. Quote
DoctorZ Posted March 9, 2010 Posted March 9, 2010 Wow that sucks mate, hope someone got some video of the car on the track before it spat the metal dummy Quote
