Stag 1 - Omega 0
« on: 23 March 2017, 11:02:12 »
So, further to my comment on the "What have you done" thread, here's the pictures of the car after the argument with the Stag last night.

Not actually sure where in there the battery is at the moment but it still starts and drives! In fact, I drove it home about a mile like that last night :o

Another one bites the dust... Not worth the work involved in repairing or an insurance claim.

Fortunately I have another one sat on the drive (that I bought for the Irmscher kit) so I'll make one good one from the two, assuming we decide we need 2 cars. Not sure if I'll bother swapping the LPG over though :-\

Christ, that's a proper mess ! looks like you were very lucky. Plenty of good parts for salvage / selling on it though. ;)
Realistically, you've had it about 5 years ? so it doesn't really owe you anything. At least it went out with a bang rather than a whimper.  ;)

Ouch!

Not bad for 60mph impact though, lack of blood as well. So assume that stag walked away?  :-\

Oh, Deer. :(

Really sorry to see that. I guess the LPG problem's urgency has reduced now.

He wont have gone far... I suspect he may have broken his neck anyway. No sign of him today though ::)

Pictures don't actually show clearly quite how much structural damage there is to the engine compartment... It's not worth the time or money when I have another one sat on the driveway to swap bits over to. Besides, this one needed new sills this summer anyway! ::)

When you go to open the bonnet, pull the front out from the bottom of the grill first. Don't expect it to close again though...

Probably find the left hand end of the slam panel has torn from the top of the chassis rail. Would expect zero chassis damage, although the front of the inner wing will probably benefit from a tweak.

Bet the last mile was a touch slower though ::)

On the bright side, at least you were in an Omega. A mate of mine hit one in a Caterham. :o

I paid top money for it but I've now had it about 6 years and done 70k or so, mostly on LPG so it owes me nothing.  :y

I'm amazed that he (the stag) lived to tell the tale to his wife and kids.

Definitely ripped inner wing an I suspect a (very) small twist in the front of the chassis extension (to the crash bar). Like I said, it's not worth the time repairing, especially as it was starting to need other bits and pieces doing. It will be a donor to get the other one sorted and then the shell scrapped.

As for the last mile... Yeah, especially as it kept losing power/cutting out and then coming back to life :o But it did limp home under it's own steam :y
