Croft today, bit of an incident.. :-(
Well, a very wet trackday at Croft today. Pete was doing really well, keeping it all together, while most were having multiple spins, offs etc etc..
(I wasn't there, stuck at work.)
Then it happened! The Civic is not badly damaged, a good fettle with a big 'ammer will sort most of it out. 
CROFT CRUNCH VID.
Bugger!

Nasty but could have been worse unlike the weather by the look of it.

Yeah, echoing those above. Shame it was to avoid the spinning car (MNR?). Nasty weather eh? Again...

Hi Andy.
Bad luck for Pete. But i bet he was glad to have been in the tintop rather than the westy. That would have cost a few extra £'s to sort out.
Mind you at least he has gotten the first damage of the car out the way. Now he can get on with the racing without worrying about the door handles and
wing mirrors getting entangled.
Cheers Matt

Darren, thanks for the offer. Doubt we'll need it, it just wants a bit of a bash about with a big 'ammer I reckon. ....
Yes, glad he wasn't in the Westy, it'd be a new corner, plus plastic bits! not cheap..

There is or used to be a place over stockton way that specialised in breaking jap cars (ie stripping them down and selling spares as opposed to what
Pete does!). Probs called Jap Parts or Jap Spares. As you say though worth bashing back into shape and getting some more track time in before worrying
about keeping it presentable. At least the headlight hole might now make an air scoop for induction filter.

I know the place your on about. There were a spare pair of front wings with the car, and headlights, as you say though, he was wanting to get rid of
the lights, and just fit alloy covers. The plastic bumper will probably repair. We'll sort it...
