Reply With QuoteI drove one of these round Thruxton for a day once. It handled very sweetly, would take church at around 107mph all day long.
Also the engine sounds cool when you get it up there........
Lol you smart f er, engine oil and gear box oil better?Originally Posted by MasterAuron
You had me confused at first cos the engines ain't that bad and that its the lack of oil maintenance that usually kills them.

well it was fun while it lasted, but must have been two weeks ago later this night at about 2am, exiting a roundabout i then spun out the opposite way, heading backwards towards the curb i knew it wouldnt be pretty, but instantly after impact ive come to a stop on the pavment, wedged between metal railings in a hedge at the back and a lamp post at the front. i tried to drive it out but it was just spinning on the spot and then had to do the inevitable of calling the police for recovery.
so a bit of s**t luck really or is the curse of the black punto now spreading onto punto owners with another black car? feels like its been jinxed the whole time ive had it lol.
i got the salvage back yesturday and have started stripping the interior ready for breaking. so if anyone knows anyone who needs parts let me know!!

What a f*ucker! Sorry to hear about the bad luck! Just look at it as a chance to try another different car or will you be back in an RX8?
cheers man, yeah ive been looking at it that way allready and that ill have a bit more free cash to pay some debt off. the s14's have been tempting me more and more, but guess it depends on if i get some serious offers for the engine really other wise il probs end up sticking it in another nackered rx8.

S14's ftw
The problem is they do look on here and you can historically see what gets put. There was a programme only today about a guy who claimed on his 355 going up in flames. Insurance companies did a little digging and found his car on you tube being crashed and on fire on a track and not how he claimed it happened. There are eyes everywhere I'm afraid.
Especially if your insured with one of the clubs sponsors?
