Trevor the Rally Car is not well
Discussion
Hi
Just to let you know we experienced a slight problem on last weekends Mewla rally on Epynt Military ranges. Rain caused a lack of grip and a small jump on a very fast narrow road caused the rear end to jump a foot to the left touching the grass and I lost control. The car spun sideways strikeing an ice berg like rock on the rear passenger side B post. This launched us into the air and I have been told we rolled 5 times becoming stationary on our wheels. We were both taken to hospital, My navigator has broken ribs and cut leg from the seat belts, I have bruised ribs and many aches and pains.
Trevor is not happy having about a foot of chassis removed from him by a rock, this also bent the rol cage. I think a chassis up rebuild is now in order and some time before I return to rallying.

The good thing about Tuscans ..
Although they're lairy enough to get you into a lot of trouble, they're strong enough to keep you alive when you do do
.
Glad you're both OK.
On the plus side ,the impending rebuild has given you an excellent oppurtunity to implement any mods you've been you've been ruminating over.

.As above, hope you (all) recover soon. It's supposed to be half the fun repairing them or so my brother tells me every time I have to fix the evo.
But oh dear, Epynt claims another. Hopefully the "comes in threes" adage means no more this year.
Was it at Dixies? I was about 20ft away from D.P.s crash in the Sunbeam and my brother and I helped him out of the car (he was getting out as we got there), it was bad enough being there watching, let alone inside the car/tumble dryer.
Back in the saddle and all that.

Seems as though it has been a bad few weeks for Tuscan racers. Yours, a damage repairable, and the 2 racers at Coombe a few weeks back. Not sure of the status of the Coombe pair, but one of them was a goner I believe 
IIRC Owens car is probably now just spares but Ben's car is being rebuiltGraham said:
