E30 Zone

Everyones favourate M52 touring is no more i am afraid. Lee ( E30BeemerLad) came up too see us northeners today and had a big spill on his way home. Complete nightmare. Finished up in macy d's drive through after hitting a lamp post at 30-40ish. The shell is a write off and he is luck to walk away with a cut hand. Pics to follow i am sure.
Glad your ok Lee and hope you can sort recovery. I will bell the garage tomorrow for you.

We all have lee's permision to post this up as he probs wont get on tonight. He is sorted for a lift home and is in one piece which is the most important thing.

trying to impress the ladies in the maccy d car park was he?

Can somebody just remind me which touring this is? Just post up a pic of how it used to be or post a link. Cheers

oh no hope he's ok will drop him a txt

sounds like the begining of another build for him

cock action? oh dear! sorry to hear this

After all that time and effort

Good to hear the car ,and possibly Lee,s pride, were the main victims though.

the car is now a red Banana
glad only your pride is hurt m8 it could have been a lot worse as he crossed a pavement sideways into some bushes and hit an old lampy and finished off in the drive threw lane of maccy d's the wrong way.

if he was pointing the right way, he would have no doubt ordered a big mac and fries

Bucket seats save him from proper injury I think maybe worse. Drivers footwell is about half the size roof is twisted and bucket seat is also twisted. Lee is fine shuck up but fine. Engine running gear etc is all fine. Alex has some pick's. It was craned onto the recovery truck as the driver just said it's fooked so what's the point in being careful. One of the lads ran him home.

Also no showing off involved. He had a blow out and lost the rear we think. His billon Tyres had been rubbing fir a while a we think pas rear gave out on him. Was a sorry sight. Truly gutted for you mate we all were

I have put a post in the meets section on this subject and I believe Alex will be posting photos of the car post accident when he gets home soon. It is a shocking sight!

I have a spare E30 touring rolling shell that I have offered to Lee free of charge, also on a K plate and I hope after the shock subsides he will take up the option and do the build again.

I don't belive it! It's only been going a month at the most - and after that epci build too

well done to bigandy for giving lee a lift home,

it had to be that rear pass side tyre let go as Lee never even punched it out of the roundabout.
alex, dezzy and myself all were taken for a short blast in it beforehand and the tyre {60 profile}
on lowered springs was catching most of the time.

no cyclists were involved Fuyzzy

It was bigandyE30 that is giving Lee a lift home Mick

Lucky his Ok.

OMFG

All that work!
glad to hear he's ok (ish)

I reckon that touring is jinxed!

Car was impressive pre action, The tyres were a temp measure as lee is having wheel coated as we speak and he was buying some new correct size toyos from me. It was a proper nightmare situation and as magpie says he wasnt driving like a c0ck and had left on his own. It was only a month on the road yeh. Sickner

I second the tyre blowout theory. I was watching Lee pull away from the roundabout and as he straightened up I could see grey smoke coming the rear end of the car

Bloody hell sounds bad
At least he is ok and no one else injured.
Well he is in the right job to sort out the `facts`.

Bloody hell sounds bad

It certainly was! When you see the pics from Alex you will find it hard to believe that he managed just a cut hand from flying glass and shock.

Lee was complaining of backache as we were leaving and I hope he will have that checked out asap, just in case

Sorry to hear about this but as said, glad he's ok!

Respect to all involved who helped out at the time!

some pics i took




glad your ok lee, them seats saved your life

Fuck me, that lampost couldn't have hit in a worse place.

Glad to hear your ok lee.

And as said in the mods section, if you need anything then give me a call.

Fooking hell you are one lucky person Lee!

Fook me he's lucky to get out unharmed from that,

R.I.P

Bring on the re-shell!!

Shocking none the less

Fokinn hell!
He must be/is devastated.
I feel for him...gutted

Jesus...................................

Really, really glad to hear that Lee's ok, thinking about what could of happened would make us all feel sick.

Well done to those involved who rallied round and sorted things out and got Lee home, thats the spirit of the zone for you right there

That won't polish out - time or a reshell!

You are one lucky lad, Lee! That impact couldn't be in a worse place for the driver, and side protection isn't one of the areas that E30's excel in!
If anyone knows their way around what happens now, I suspect it's you, but you want to get that wreck back into your possession ASAP.

The garage that did the recovery through the police we deal with at work and I will ring them first thing tomorow. I am sure them sparco seats saved lee. Just glad your ok pal.

Very lucky, thats a tidy smack!

Stopped the car dead from whatever spead within half a meter. Very lucky
