Not my best day at Sandown

[alfagtv100 (Biggus)]

Woke up at 5:30am and half asleep, reversed in to my garage door (fortunately, no damage to the car or door).
Was way, way, way too enthusiastic coming in to Dandy Road corner and put the car 30m in to the kitty litter.
The resulting noise from the drive shaft brought my day to an early end.
Pulling out from Sandown on to Princess Hwy, my best mate 'caressed' my car with his Toyota Camry.
The photo tells you how the story ends.
Bugger.

thats just not right... if you need a shoulder to cry on Marco.. best look elsewhere, we are already crying here

I think today will be known as 'wet Sunday' for a few members.  Sales of Kleenex will certainly show a spike.
What was your damage?

[Mat Francis]

oh, no damage to me, i think it was the first time the car has ever run a whole day without an issue! on the way home dad and i were discussing how immaculate your car was! and then we get home to find this! i suppose one could say at least no one got hurt in all the carnage.

Thats a BAD day Marco - you have my sympathies, I was just thinking today what a great looking car it is (was)...


Jimn~

[Sheldon McIntosh]

Damn shame mate, damn shame.  We heard about it at the pub when Bruno got the call, and we all, to a man, shook our heads and said "oh no, not to that car".

[Evan Bottcher]

Would rather it had happened to my car Marco - and that's a big call!  I know you'll have her fixed as well as she deserves, and this'll be a distant memory soon.  Crap 

[Sheldon McIntosh]

At least now you can run up a massive bar tab at your mate's pub.

Marco, There is a massive knot in my stomach reading this and looking at the photo, Commiserations.
I look forward to seeing the car back as it was, one sweet 105.

[Colin Byrne]

Dude no,no,no,no,no that's not how the day is supposed to end!
and i thought i had a bad day yesterday.
Let us no if there's anything you need that i might be able to help with the repairs
and i'm tipping you won't have to buy your own beer at the next club night.

[Gary Pearce]

What a rotten thing Marco, my heart goes out to you. I am not looking forward to the day I make a mistake and I know it would be even worse if it is somebody else's mistake. Poor Vanessa Sharp must be feeling the same thing too I bet.
I can only say though that yesterday was the best day I have had with my clothes on, and I look forward to the day I can keep up with you all. (is Evan's car supercharged?)

[jimnielsen]

No.. Evan is supercharged!

[Brad M]

I hesitate to ask, but what happened to Vanessa?
Hopefully, the mighty 33 only requires a little bit of loving from Vin.

[Fast Eddie]

yeah,
for us interstate and / or bed ridden - what on earth happened yesterday @ Sandown?  a blow by blow synopsis please ( if it isnt too embarrasing for the members involved).

Like they say, til you fall off a motorbike, spin off the circuit or earn a "badge of courage"' or 2, you havent been trying hard enough!

[Gary Pearce]

Just a little biff on Vanessa's 33, when a 75 went off on T1 and did the unforgivable by rolling back on to the track into the path of passing traffic. Just not what we want to happen when we are having fun. The dollars we like spending is on racing not fixing.
