Its gone again...

[Laeeq]

On Wed 28th i get a phone call from Dre; are we going to Ace Cafe tonight?  All i had to do was say no as the weather was **** as you all know but No i can not ressist the fact that it will be another chance of a drive up there with loads of cars and all.  I also get me mate out in his white rex and we will be meetin Dre and his mate @ BP on A406 round 8ish.

Got onto A406 and going through the tunnel underneath the billet round about, doing about 50 or 60 in 4th gear.  The bung was out of the exhaust so i said to my mate lets hear the rumble going through the tunnel, gave it a bit in 4th, hit the black ice patch and the back end was out to its left....****..its gone again...steer to left and for a second she straight but now its gone the other way and steer it again but then it was straight into the crash barrier.   I am gone into comma...f****k why me? its gone again..my mate following behind me is more shocked then i am....he sees every thing infront of him..left right left and bang at that speed...

I am truly out of luck this year.  it has been one of the worst year ever and cant wait for it to finish.   The police was very very helpfull towards the whole situation.  They also said the road conditions were not exactly ideal that night and that wasn\'t their first emergency call.

What now?   Im not giving up again this time either.  No way... The engine is already out and so are all the other bit, ready to be transplanted into another black rex that is parked in my mate\'s garage.  I will have bits left from the standard car left so let me know who wants what plz...i can do with some recovery.  The engine and the box is gone.  All the interior bits are available, Diff, std suspension,air pump,air con, power plant frame, 99 type rear lights inc centre light and may other bits that you may need then plz let me know??

Laeeq man, this is really unfortunate.

Hats off to your attitude however, after what happened in Feb and now you must really be commited to rotaries!

I would like like some bits from what you mentioned. Will shoot you a PM now.

Chin up.

Unbelievable Leaq, glad to see your still carrying on with an RX though. Good luck.
Atleast with you keep smashing them up, they are becoming rarer again!

Laeeq,  sorry to hear about your car bro.. the main thing is that you were ok...it was definately one of the best Rex I\'ve seen and the one to inspire me to buy a rotary in the near future.. I was at Ace cafe that night and to be honest the roads were seriously f****d, me an my mates were even losing grip in our FR cars. Well good to see your still sticking with the Rex.. hopefully the new one will be just as good if not better..

Laeeq,

Sorry to see that bro, have to hand it to you for your attitude exactly the same as what i would do get another rx and start again  :Thumbs-up

Feel for your loss as mentioned great power output so at least you still got the engine to transplant for the new rx  :King

Sincerly hope you get your "new" rx sorted for R3,

See you then

Gurj :Thumbs-up

PS - one of the reasons i am dreading picking my rx up from Pip\'s place, gonna have to drive back even slower now after reading this.  :2eek
