Sorry to hear that, at least you are not blaming it on diesel
Break it up, you probably won't lose anymore than about a 1/3 of the value of the car.
Do i get a prize for guessing right?

LOL, I drift all the time so it doesn't step out on it own, usually because I'm provoking it all the time. Sorry to see that man, practise going sideways to save yourself

Thats a real shame

It was such a tidy looking tourer too
I guess the good news is that they're not hard to replace, and you're OK...

i lost my first e30 at the track going sideways and had a 911 turbo hit the rear they were both totaled. I feel for you but we learn from these things. at least that is what i've been told

i would still like to have that e30.

You took out a 911 turbo

....whoops bet he wasn't to chuffed about that. Or do you mean you went sideways and were stranded on the track and Mr porsche boosted into you?
Are track days the same in this country, i.e. you pay for your own car no matter what the circumstances.
Sorry for the little off topic
