today is really a bad day, after my problem of broken spring  valves, today I go to PAT to recover the 61,  here me on the way even 1 km further, i engage me in a turn around  and here that the c4 share of the rear wheel-axle unit and the bug is put out of scissors and come to strike the back of the c4 , I look at the damages at first sight thefront wing and headlight to break anything other, then I take again the road, and not feeling me has ease I stop again to check the tow bar,et I call PAT to explain the thing to him, it says to me that it arrives with another tow bar, while waiting for I inspect the damage and return account to me that while trying to open the cap it is a little hard and I notice that my skirt is slightly folded and then I realize that the cap is not aligned any more with the cheek of wing before left the cheek returns from 1 cm, PAT arrives and it is noticed that the tow bar is slightly folded, not returning from there it before and that it surprised to see that the puma had folded at the time of the impact . I don't return from there, and one decides to see with Laurent the boss from old dreams car to see whether one can bring the car of continuation, thing made now thus me set out again here for a work of carrosery, front wing, rectification of the side to him before left and rectify the skirt, plus a new nose gear this car will have cost me more money than of pleasure than I would have some to roll with so much I would have the balls to make an accident or another thing   ,  I surely will put parts on sale
just one positive point on the new wings i don't put a new horn grill but in place  i will add lucas turn signal on each wings

Sorry to hear about your accident Fabs. If you were here I would buy you a drink. If you need anything sourced from the states let me know if I can help. Fortunately it is not terminal and can be fixed.

today is really a bad day, after my problem of broken spring  valves, today I go to PAT to recover the 61,  here me on the way even 1 km further, i engage me in a turn around  and here that the c4 share of the rear wheel-axle unit and the bug is put out of scissors and come to strike the back of the c4 , I look at the damages at first sight thefront wing and headlight to break anything other, then I take again the road, and not feeling me has ease I stop again to check the tow bar,et I call PAT to explain the thing to him, it says to me that it arrives with another tow bar, while waiting for I inspect the damage and return account to me that while trying to open the cap it is a little hard and I notice that my skirt is slightly folded and then I realize that the cap is not aligned any more with the cheek of wing before left the cheek returns from 1 cm, PAT arrives and it is noticed that the tow bar is slightly folded, not returning from there it before and that it surprised to see that the puma had folded at the time of the impact . I don't return from there, and one decides to see with Laurent the boss from old dreams car to see whether one can bring the car of continuation, thing made now thus me set out again here for a work of carrosery, front wing, rectification of the side to him before left and rectify the skirt, plus a new nose gear this car will have cost me more money than of pleasure than I would have some to roll with so much I would have the balls to make an accident or another thing   ,  I surely will put parts on sale
just one positive point on the new wings i don't put a new horn grill but in place  i will add lucas turn signal on each wings
Sorry to hear about your car Fabs Did the Empi Get any Damage? By Looking at the Pictures it is not that bad  the front can be pulled back out to get the hood to fit and a new fender and Beam and your on the road again Sure glad you were not hurt  see you Soon
