I heard it clipped the wall as well? Judging by the paint and Pac sticker i'd say it is the ex-kilarb , wonder if it's got the same driveline in it

Looks like it did tag the wall yet again. Sucks to see such a mint looking car damaged. 7's definately won't be far away http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmFeQ...8&feature=plcp (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmFeQJ1w4sA&list=UUCVe2Q-x7n-mDvtT1rrV9cg&index=8&feature=plcp)

The damage appears minimal. Looks like it stepped out of the groove causing it to get crosses up. Well saved in my opinion as that could have been 10 times worse. Looking forward to seeing this thing unleash come saturday if its heading back out and hopefully nab that 7 !
