Thankfully your ok steve. Speedy recovery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing is the vamera crew making the dvd had just fitted a incar camera setup into the car before the run, just waiting nowe to see the footage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car is essentially still in shape.Glad to hear things arent as bad as you might otherwise expect for a 280km/h stackLuke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
