I write with great sadness to say I wrote the Zee off yesterday. We are all OK, but my pride is dented. Lynne and I are very upset to loose our car. Lets hope the insurance looks after us. Richard |

Damn. Am I starting the curse again? I thought I gave that ghost up. Hope the insurance does their job. At least your are ok even though that doesn't make things better. |

Thanks for your comments guys. To explain simply what happened - I was driving on a road I know quite well. It was wet and I had been travelling at reasonable speed, but as I approached a bend I eased up to approx. 40, no prblem for the bend. But as I went round I drifted big style. I ended up a soil bank on the side of the road, by this time I had stop moving, only to roll off the bank onto the roof. Sh!t, (sorry I swore) even with the car on the recovery truck completely wrecked, it still looked stunning. As I said we are lucky, we are perectly OK - very upset. Daniel my 6 year old was also with us. Luckily it hasn't bothered him. He jumped out (after I undid his seat belt) and was fine. Later he cried, but in those tears he said he wanted his Camaro back. I will keep you informed with what happened. At least I have experience of modding one Camaro, next please. IN the mean time, you please give me some more ideas what else I can be doing!!!! |

Very glad to hear that the family wasn't hurt! And I'm sure the insurance will help you continue on with the next vehicle. Good luck and stay safe. Maverick |

will you be able to recover some of the mod parts? Probably easier than shipping from the states ... |

Man that's horrible to hear. Do you think you be able to get any pics of it? I sound perverted but I'd like to see just how bad it was. Glad you and your family are well despite the wreck. |

One of the guys I was with has some piuctures of it upside down. I'll try and post them in the near future. I have been asking about recovering the parts, 2 things: 1) are they damaged? and 2) the insurance assessor will start and kncok down the money I get!!!!! I'm still working on getting the most so I'll keep you posted. Richard |

Jagsy, you are lucky you did not drive a Camaro Convertable. I alwasy hated the roll over protection bars on convertables and always thought that the chance of a roll over is very little. But as you see..... German automobile club ADAC has just tested convertables in a roll over crash test: In a Mazda MX5 without any protection bar one has only little chance to survive. Gunnar |

Yes, I would question myself before I bought a soft top - it would definately have to have a roll cage fitted. |
