my Cougar written off :-(

[mcc1968]

Wrote the cat of last month ... hit some deisel on a bend and ended up in a ditch against a tree.

I wasnt speeding officer ???!!!!

 

[black-diamond]

ouch as long you are ok would you get chance to buy it back mate if so could be broken for spares instead of some fat cat breakers making loads of cash out of us cat owners

 

[mcc1968]

Could only buy it back if I took less for a payout, but managed to get a few bits off before they took it away.
I have seen it in a local breakers already !!!

Already got a new one

It is a standard frosty, but have just about finished with a few mods

 

[cmewse]

That will buff out! ut: Glad your ok and got another cat so soon

 

[phil robbo]

The car can and has been replaced, but you can`t be, glad the only thing that was hurt was your pride.

 

[tim16s]

Sorry to see those sad pictures of your cougar. Hope you were OK.

 

[zarquon]

Ouch. Nasty.

Still, as has already been said - you can replace a car, y'can't replace yerself quite so easily.

 

[carpfisher]

:frown5:Another one bites the dust shame you must be gutted i know i would be at this rate the cougar is an endangered species wonder just how many are left

 

[ginja]

Sheesh lucky one mate, that must have been quite a bang? Good to see your ok and on the road again in another cat

 

[Pid_16V]

Nasty! But good to hear your ok, and that you replaced it so soon. Hope you got the good bits off before the scrappy took it away.

 

[WildV6]

That's not nice mate, but pleased your ok. Damn diesel :incazzato:- it's like being on an ice-rink when that stuff hits the road - hope the council have been out and washed it off - or some other poor sod might come a cropper too :sad:

So, you have a new Frosty...on with the modding then to bring it up to the standard of your old one

 

[Alex_16v]

Oooh!!! Thats nasty!! Glad to know you're ok!

 

[Malu]

Like wise as long your OK you can get another Cat

 

[TopCat1127]

Spun out on sat morning at Huntingdon Tesco roundabout........by the filling station!!!!.....in the wet........ended up facing the way i came from, quick reverse before i got shunted and was off again, you just got unlucky there fella

 

[Aussiecat]

You would landed with hell of a thump!! Glad you're OK.

 

[jamie_duff]

Nasty - glad you're ok

Tony, that was lucky a kerb didn't find you before friction prevailed!

 

[mcc1968]

Thanks for all the comments guys

Yes the thing most damaged was my pride

Was a bit of a rush to get the new bog standard one ready for my Le Man trip,
exhaust and spoiler from the old one,
lights painted,
some 18" rims,
Full service with a new K&N filter,
Not got enough time to lower it but unsure wether it needs it with the bigger rims ?

but it is all done with some stickers on to get in the spirit.

Tell me what you think ..... ?

 

[phil robbo]

Liveried up .. excellent, I did that in 2007 and people gave me some funny looks, went for Euros this morning, woman in post office asked where I was going, told her Le Mans, she had never heard of it, when I told her it was a 24 hour car race she asked me if I was racing :nonod: ... had she been a smart young thing I would have said yes
So there will be at least 2 cougars in Le Mans.

nice looking cougar, did you get it off ebay as I saw a nice original one which was silver with the factory fit rear spoiler go on there the other day.

 

[mcc1968]

No, got it from a local trader, was bog standard when I got it 3 weeks ago, the spoiler, exhaust, and lower trim are what I took off the one I trashed before it was taken away.
