Alpina track car hits barriers at Spa

R4R · 08-11-2008, 04:12 PM

the same day i was tipped of the track at Spa my mate also decided to do some remoddleing.

this is an E36 Alpina which suffered a suspension failure (near side rear) which caused the severe turn to then right.

whilst writing off his pride and joy, he also has to pay 1800 euros for the repairs to the barriers.... just to add salt to the wound.

both driver and passanger were unhurt in this incident.

This is Neil and his Dad isnt it? Bloody great guys. Met them at the Ring last year. Neil helped me brown my pants with a few laps in his Z4 and his Dad had a passenger lap with me in my E90.

Heard they both got away with stiff necks for 2 days. Glad they are ok.

So on to the next car!

Carlos, you have got to get some of those orange alloys for the DXB

booforty · 08-12-2008, 03:05 PM

Ouch, that is quite a bit of damage

I think these guys are in the BMW mag I get every month...I think they have a team of three cars or so now? Or do these chaps just have a very similar looking car....
