Crashed CSL

[cslbecks]

Jeez Whop - did you escape injury?? Glad i wasnt out for a passenger lap with you!! How the hell did it happen?? Now i know why DSC stays ON!!!!

[glendog74]

Ah well at least I did a propper job on it, none of your namby pamby frontal impact stuff for me !!, sideways into a telegraph pole !

Was it a write-off then...? :smt043

[whopwop]

Ah no, it pollished out !!!.
I was simply going too bloody fast across a wet country road, the ass stepped out, i corrected it, came over a crest and it went airbourne, sideways........and all went quiet. - i was doing SOME miles per hour.!
I braced myself for impact, opened my eyes and ''taadaa''.
Got a fractured scabula (large shoulder bone).
My mum ( being a good irish catholic girl ), stated that Our Lord must have been in the car with me that night........, to which I replied. ......
''well i hope to fu#k he was not in the passenger seat'', cause he wont forgive me for that.

LOL - you'll go to hell for saying that to be sure, to be sure!!!

whopwhop,

Any idea what happened to your cf splitters? :whistle:

[whopwop]

Sorry Bravo 73,The entire car was shipped to some madman in Denmark or Norway, cant remenber which.
I believe he was going to use engine /gearbox etc to make some sort of a track day weapon., I was sooooo gutted at the time, the bloody thing was mint with 8K on the clock. plus I had only had the car for 36 hours.
Ah well, I went off back to the UK and bought choise number two which is the car THAT I currently have.

How much did you get for it when you sold it in that condition?

[whopwop]

Alot more that the insurance company were giving me for scrap value.
I'd rather not say exactly how much, but i actually made money on the entire transaction between what the insurance company coughed up and what I sold the wreckage for......thank god for fully comp policys

[windy]

36 hours?!!! Bet the ins co thought you were taking the pi$$ when you rang them so soon! :119:

[Andyk]

WOW Glad you made it out of that one...SO another CSL bits the dust. Wonder how many of the 422 are still alive and well?

This one allegedly the King of Swedens!

Is this right? The King of Sweeden has (had?) a CSL?

What a cool country to have your King owning a CSL (& crashing it!!)

As a Swede and CSL owner ( only 7 cars + 2 presscars to Sweden)
quite proud. I did the Scuderia Hanseat with him and his son autumn 2007. He still has the the CSL. He is a huge BMW fan, has an M5 as well.
His bodyguards the the course in that car...
