Blue Tuscan crashed again

[Jasper Gilder]

Just chatted to a chum who say the blue SP6 Tuscan has crashed in front of them, driver shaken but OK.

Has that car got a magnet on it - or a hex??

Noooooo. that's sad news. please Kev is ok though by the sounds of it cars can be repaired, Kev is defo one of a kind and cannot be replaced

It WAS an AJP4.5 see http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/gassing/topic.asp?h=0... tuscan challenge oulton park 17 october
I think I should have had my chat with Kevan before the first race, I didn't dare speak to him after. Tuscan is missing it's back end and the front is bent and I didn't see the bonnet ... the doors looked OK but I'm afraid that was about it.
It was doing very well



But after



I hope he can have a good night tonight.

Yeah I saw that on the recovery wagon. It did look a mess. Shame really as it is a lovely car

[glow worm]

We need to come up with a name for the hill, Wimbledon has "Henmans Hill".. could be "The Trough of Tivland" ... looked good.

Damage is nearly all fibreglass,complete rear end required, new near side front wing, new diffuser, and the passenger door needs a little work. Mechanically its not too bad near side front top wishbone,track rod for steering rack,rear nearside top wishbone mounts need fixing (maybe new wishbone) damper needs a rebuild and a passenger door mirror. So about 3 months work to pay for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! assuming i do not eat,drink,etc

Another tough break for you Kev, but look on the bright side.

You got to drive it for more than 3 laps!

You've got some pace now...

and you've just bought another one for you to fix (Jamies )

Thanks for some of the most enjoyable laps in my short racing career.

(maybe I shouldn't have mentioned number 3 )

All the best mate. A great few laps. Should be good on camera!
BTW pics are from Mal and many more from the season will be available from the monster shop soon.
No marjin, just helping the guys get some of their petrol money back!

Errrrrrrr.............. Sorry guys, I'm not into crash testing. If you chuck yourself off, as I have a couple of times, that fair enough but I'm not into dogdems.

[Graham]

I dont think me and kev ever did much more than the odd pair of door mirror's although we did lean on each other a bit. we did test the barriers on our own a few times though purely for research you understand

[AG-WNR]

Im not into bumper cars either Dave dont worry yh i no Graham i've heard many a stories about how you and dad have crash tested Taz's from what i hear they are pritty rigid?? lol Or was it jus the st quality of kumho tyres?? haha
