Re: Black Monday MIB RIP
Kind offer guys but MIB is beyond saving. I'm sure the intense heat has warped the chassis, inner wings etc etc.TopCat wrote:quite unbelievable - all this bad luck Mark
our thoughts are with you
good idea pooling our resources for the rebuild- since you have been so helpful to many of us here
happy to donate something suitable for the rebuild- all I can find are the side windows- which you can have if they need replacing because of fire damage.
Might look for a LHD e21 to replace it? M30 powered maybe? If anyone know's of anything maybe let me know?

Auch! Sad to see and sad to read.
I hope you'll get over it.

Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car. Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far you take the wall with you.

Re: Black Monday MIB RIP
Wow thats shocking, what a bad surprise i see on the forum today.
Best of luck Mark. I also think taking a break is the best, and then build another, or get the TWR done.
Strange idea that MIB is gone!
