Tears at Mallala yesterday

Hmmmm... I hope it's brakes didn't fade... Mallala is quite hard on brakes.

Poor bugger though. That's a bit of a mess. But quite fixable.

 

How much ($$) to fix it, in your opinion?

 

Using all new genuine parts, about $60k.

But 355 bits spew out of every other breaker in europe, could spend LOTS of time and shop around to save $20-30K.

 

Nasty! I'm just wondering what happened though, it looks like it must have shunted into another car, as I can't recall anything that solid off the track at Mallala.

 

Hard to tell from that photo. There seems to be a suspicious dent in the rear guard. If there is a corresponding dent at the top of the door shut line on the rear guard it would have a bent chassis. From what I have seen it is relatively easy to bend a spider's chassis at that point. BIG bucks.
If that turns out to be ok, it could be about $40k drive away for the frontal damage.

 

Except all the concrete walls.

 

I happen to have a 355 front spoiler and headlight box's. Also a rear deck complete with all accessories.

 

here's some more pics i tracked down

 

Guess he should have stuck to hair dressing...

 

Thats got to hurt. Some substantial damage unfortunately. Lets hope his/her insurance covers track days..

 

and now we all know the rego too!

 

Wow! Alot of money involved. Would there be a long wait for parts also Phil?

 

Ooo, it must've changed since I was last there, pity.

 

think he's referring to this: View attachment 153839

 

I see, I just remembered at Mallala there wasn't any concrete that looked like you could hit it fairly square on, unlike AIR.

 

Ouch, that dosnt look pretty at all.. how'd you be

 

You'd be f*cked I know id be.

 

All the bolt on bits will be ok, it's the luggage compartment panels and welded parts that'll be the staller.

 

like SiFi said, there's very few places at Mallala where you're likley to hit something head on like that. must have run out of skill, experience and luck at just the wrong place.

 

not that i'm aware of. i doubt your insurer would laugh, but come renewal time.....

 

if you'll notice in the classic adelaide that car is entered just below a certain dino... wonder how that will go...

actually, there's already nearly 30 ferraris registered for this years event.

 

where did you get the 30 f-cars entered for this years CA?

 

it breaks my heart to see an F-car damaged.......RIP front end,at least it can be fixed.
