thebutler Posted September 19, 2017 Posted September 19, 2017 Hi All, Back in the club again after a ~9 year break. Twas in 2008 I spent 10 months building my Mazda SDV kit, then 2 months after passing SVA (as it was then) I wrote it off! I then followed other pursuits with MX5 track cars, Scooby's, etc. Before coming full circle and ending up back here :-) Currently based in South London, but blessed with a garage, and in the market for a Seight. Some pics of my ex car (and wife) below! Quote
Man On The Clapham Omnibus Posted September 19, 2017 Posted September 19, 2017 Oh dear! That must have been annoying! It looks like a lovely car - can't see enough of your Good Lady to form a view though! Good to have returning members aboard. Quote
TAFKARM Posted September 19, 2017 Posted September 19, 2017 Welcome back! Call me an optimist but that crash doesn't look THAT bad! Bent chassis? Quote
thebutler Posted September 19, 2017 Author Posted September 19, 2017 @RussH Yeah, pretty much span around on the crash rail, so all bodywork mangled and what can't be seen is the whole chassis was bent. I could of bought the salvage and rebuilt, and would of been quids in as I had it insured at an agreed value, but after all that effort my head wasn't in the right place at the time to be honest...

Captain Colonial Posted September 19, 2017 Posted September 19, 2017 Welcome back! I remember the incident very well, unfortunately. Just checked and it's on the road, got MOT'd a month ago with 3625 miles on it, so she lives on. Quote

thebutler Posted September 19, 2017 Author Posted September 19, 2017 Weird to think of my Westie being reborn and living on. Kinda like hearing about an ex girlfriend you've not about in years! Quote
