What I think happened to the roof, is the car went down a bit of a dip at the side of the road, so it tipped left and the roof took most of the impact, then it obviously threw my back onto the road.

Yeah I was quote confused about that too... either there is a lot of shell flex, or I think I might have gone in rear quarter-first, as there isn't actually any damage to the passenger side wing, that seems to be where it stops.

Do you recon you might of hit a cats eye and you just lost it?? Only thing a can think of cats eyes and the. Aquaplaned??
#26: Re: How much T Cut am I going to need? Author: the_bowman, Location: Leicestershire (Ashby de la Zouch)Posted: Thu Aug 05, 2010 1:32 am ---- Hmm... I suppose a cats eye could be a possibility... but surely it wouldn't be enough to throw you off? I mean, it's only rubber at the end of the day
#27: Re: How much T Cut am I going to need? Author: LilLew, Location: PlymouthPosted: Thu Aug 05, 2010 2:05 am ---- if you were in the aquaplane then u practially lose complete steering can you rember if the car steering was light at all
#28: Re: How much T Cut am I going to need? Author: the_bowman, Location: Leicestershire (Ashby de la Zouch)Posted: Thu Aug 05, 2010 6:08 am ---- I think the aquaplane idea seems to make sense, as the steering wheel just span around, it was just after a slight right hand bend, so if I was pulling slightly on the wheel it could have just gone?
#29: Re: How much T Cut am I going to need? Author: Rob2859, Location: HalifaxPosted: Thu Aug 05, 2010 6:26 am ---- unlucky mate. I found out you have to be gentle and smooth with the steering in the rain. there is a lot of that car that can go on ebay though so at least you will have a bit back. Just one of those things really least it wasn't head on into a tree. how fast were you going?
#30: Re: How much T Cut am I going to need? Author: the_bowman, Location: Leicestershire (Ashby de la Zouch)Posted: Thu Aug 05, 2010 6:39 am ---- Yeahh I'm gonna get it round the back and take it to bits as soon as I can, get bits up here and on ebay.
Wasn't going fast at all as I was taking it easy cause of the weather... I reckon it must have been 35-40mph, but once I started sliding it seemed to pick up speed
