Is that all ! That was one of the things… Look how the engine is, and also the chassis bent a lot. Inside all dashboard bent, the gearbox is ok but forced the tunnel up and destroyed the AC. From the all body only saved the rear door and 1 panel, the rest was useless. But now at least I have a lot of mechanical parts in stock including the axles, gearbox (5 speed), engine and other small parts. | ||

Then rolled out of the road... It was from a friend that has a farm… one of his employees took the keys (without authorisation) one night, after some drinking… this happened. He got away without a scratch… | ||

Ace31 Veteran Date registered: May 2009 Location: Modena - Italy Vehicle(s): 93' 300 GE Posts: 203 | RE: R.I.P. - 1 more G that left this world... :-) This 280 was following a montain bikes race here, in Italy, with a doctor aboard. Suddenly the "road" has caved in and the G has rolled off for several tens of meters, finally stopping against a tree (fortunately the ultimate impact was with the frame and not with the cabin). The two occupants of the car reported no consequences (except for a BIG scare ), the G instead ...
