The notorious Ayrshire Lotus curse claimed another victim tonight, with a purple elise spotted buried in an embankment during the GU navigational rally.

No injuries were reported but sources close to the driver commented " twat"

Well done in winning your award; 'the golden spanner'.

Bit of gaffer tape & the car will be fine

Just a few cracks and scrapes I reckon- will get a look in the daylight...fortunately it was pretty soft so just did a bit of ploughing

Excellent night otherwise- must take quite a bit of organising

Would recommend it to anyone.....

(Shush about the spanner. They'll all want one

)

cheers....having had a better look it's only a scratch by ayrshire standards- cracked indicator, cracked/scuffed clam and broken grille- nothing some stickers won't sort

Spanner technique is easy: come over a slight crest into a 90 degree bend, observe coating of mud on the road, exit stage right

Oh well, at least I'm now an 'award winnning rally driver'.

Ahem

Sorry to hear that Bertie

Anyway some of us manage to drive around here for years on end with not a scratch - though the new neighbour has splattered the elise with fence paint if that counts

T cut it is then

You must have ran past or very near my house, time control 9 was at the start of the B road that leads to my place.

Oy Ayrshire roads are amazing just had yet another late Sunday night blast - lovely bendy roads with no tractors as they have gone to bed pure Lotus heaven
