goodbye noble steed

[TSC.]

I'm not sure if I'm going to go on Sunday, it all depends if the Vulcan is going to show.

Is this Cosford? How will you know if the Vulcan will show? I might try & take my old man if the Vulcan will be flying, he's Vulcan crazy. But I don't want to make a 400 mile round trip if it won't be flying.

[Craig.]

We dont know yet that it will. It needs to make a flight before the weekend, and then it needs the weather to co-operate. To be honest I wouldn't risk it, wait for something a little later in the season when it's more likely to get a confirmation.

Steve, I didn't name the last bloody thing, that name was given to it on sunday by the person who had a go before. After being warned not to. And what happens? boom baby.

I am not a huge fan of the 5 series, they're a bit to big for my liking. I'm fairly set on something between 99 and 2001 3 series right now.

Ok, cheers for the Cosford info Craig. What about a Z3? Anything within budget?

The only time I got scared in a car was while my former boss and I were driving in his latest 5 series in bad weather in Germany. He had to slow down to 90 km/h to avoid the car from swirling all over the road!

A beast to drive in dry weather though, that 3.0i

[Craig.]

Z3 out of my price range, and I have learned my lesson. I'm not going to hide away from a car because of an accident. I just know I need to be more careful.
Hell I've driven that car in an almost monsoon like downpour on the motorway, and it was perfectly fine. It only aquaplaned once in the time I had it and that was for a split second. Yes it was twitchy thing at times, but as long as the right foot is a little lighter in future no reason to stray away.
I'd love a new shape civic, unfortunatly I cant afford the stupid amounts Honda seem to think a 3 year old car is worth.

Maybe not you, but I am driving my 5th 5 Series and my third 525D

PS Has the bastard squad Old Bill had anything to say about destruction of said bus stop :-?
PPS Lucky it was empty

Matt, I think the 5 series is a brilliant car, its just completely useless for my needs and funds.

And yes, they found it all quite amusing. Traffic turned up in their shiny beemer. They just told me to deal with it through the insurance company, which I am and they'll say no more as far as the incident is concerned. Without wanting to risk them coming back and doing me for careless driving, I've been on the phone a lot today and yesterday dealing with it all. They could see the fact it shook me up quite a bit that night, was enough than having to take it through the courts as well.
They did say I needed to do a better job next time as I missed the graffited part and only took half the stop out.

A few issues escaping Brunters AFAIK. She landed at Brize just after 1700 having done two practice displays, so she should be at Cosford providing she flies tomorrow.

Makes an interesting addition to brize F&F day (I'll be down at 26 tomorrow )

Fingers crossed. Weathers not looking great sunday around cosford. I know they want her to close the show, but the better weathers set for about 2-4 so hopefully they may see that and put it in there instead.

Any shots from it after the crash? I have to admit, I crashed the same model - though the reason was a cracked (rear-)tire... Damn automatic transmission!

[61_OTU]

Craig's looked like that *before* the accident ;-)

Sorry mate couldn't resist......
