Phil,

Sorry to hear about the car mate. Pop in to Halfrauds and get some wet & dry paper, that bump on your head will rub dowm at treat

In all seriousness glad you're OK, cars can be fixed or replaced

Is the car a w/off?

Cheers

Clarkie

Is that the fast s bends after the long straight Phil, with the layby on the right (as you're travelling towards Coupar Angus)

That's nearly caught me out before

aye, thats the place.

thing is, i was just cuising home.
not fast 1 bit!

just clipped the kerb - and the car went mental :S

looking at a pic, the back left wheel looked buckled.
wonder if that was the cause and why i couldnt catch it :S

if it was badly buckled you would have felt it driving along the road.

unless you meant, the cause of the buckled wheel was hitting the kerb, in which case i'd say probably

didn't have the camera on, but it was am impressive flight and then correction for the bend

i think he meant the piccys of Phil's car, not my airborne aerobatics off a high kerb at 70mph

PhilA · Post by **PhilA** » Fri Sep 22, 2006 8:29 pm

went round to see it.
didnt look as bad as I first thought.
dunno what its like behind the wheels or under the trays.
quite a few bits not fitting as they should

other not obvious stuff:
windscreen cracked.
near side pillar got a gap.
meh, too much, cant be bothered to list it all.
some pics:
