Well, it finally happened.

Today, Spa Francorchamps, the Kemmel straight 110mph, shift up to 5th, a graunching noise, oil and battery lights come on, engine stops running, smoke in the cabin emanating from the transmission tunnel.

Clutch down, hazards on, coast off the circuit and behind the barriers. A trail of oil left behind.

On to a flatbed and back to the pits, car is now on a lorry heading towards Daytona Autos where, perhaps, it will be brought back to life...

A sad day indeed, but it's how it would have wanted to go, I think.

144,000 miles, give or take...

 

Gutted LG! What are your plans, will you repair? Awesome place to go though!

 

I'll know more once Ray has had a look.

 

Can't think of a better place to expire it. Done well that car, if it survives this, you really need to name it Triggers Broom

 

It would have wanted it this way, Si

 

Ray will revive it!

 

Sad news Simon Definitely the end of an era.

If it doesn't survive we hope you'll be back in something similar soon.

 

Whoops ! This is what you' get for playing with your toys !

Properly

 

Ouch.

Good innings for a track beatch i guess?

Find an engine, chuck it in

 

Even though you've been saying it for years I'm sure it can't have been a nice experience

You'll get it up and running again in no time!
