I nearly got taken out big time by a mk2 escort rally car :shock: And the driver was someone i know too :lol:

I was out watching a stage rally on a local airfield and me and a group of mates were watching at the end of a long straight on a grass bank, anyway theres a slight kink at the end which they take pretty quick and he got out of shape and clipped a couple tyres and then he's heading straight at the bank where we're standing :shock: :shock: :shock: Instinctivly we all dived off this bank into the road behind which i hit pretty hard :? and we werent sure then if the car was gonna come over the bank and land on us :?

It didnt luckily, but if we hadnt all dived out the way the car would have skittled the lot of us. Once we'd all picked ourselves up we ran over to the car to see if he was ok and that must be one of the worst feelings ever when you see someone you know stuck in a wrecked car making horrible groaning noises :( Luckily he had just winded himself.

Heres the end result :(

I've just got back from scrutineering for the somerset stages rally tomorrow which my mate is doing in his mk2, hopefully i wont have any near death experiences this week :lol: Although we did have a worrying moment when my mate decided to let off a display firework outside the workshop just now :lol: It didnt even get out the tube and exploded on the ground :shock: Right next to his rally car :lol:

I should go to bed really cos i've gotta be up at 5 in the morning :( I cant be bothered though :oops: better stock up on redbull i think :lol:

All loaded up and ready for action 8)
