Project 121 dead!!

Hey guys. Long time no see. You may remember me as the nut who was building the BPT powered 121. Well, just letting you know that the car was totalled by a hit-run driver last night and the project is now kaput. Here's the result of a BA XR8 ute smashing up my parked car's rear end. :cry:





I have evidence and stuff and police are onto the case so hopefully something comes out of this.

Now, who wants a BPT with ECU, driveshafts, engine mounts, crossmember and other parts?? C yas!! Mafs!!

eep, how fast would he have been going for that dent (cough* bit of cough* understatement)

Thats bad, sorry to hear that your car got trashed.

Was the passenger section badly squashed? Cause it would be nice to know that if anyone was in at the time they would have come off OK.

Pre-emptive strike by XR8 that was scared he was going to be shown up by BPT powered 121??? "look mummy that big car is scared of that little car..."

:x :cry: :x :cry:

Hope it all works out for you, ie insurance, police catching the other guy (or he/she decides to cop it sweet after all and report it)
