Skyline down
At 4.30am I got an urgent call to.. of all things.. fix a redundant broken link on a website. That request is utterly surreal in retrospect. I should have told them to f*ck off.
15 mins later I rolled my car 3 or 4 times after taking a corner at 150. The drivers side roof is nearly impacted into the seat, so how I got away without a scratch I don't know. Well, not quite unharmed, my back is killing me. I ended up on my head. I can remember every single microsecond of the accident. I think I've lost my taste for fast cars now.

Dude,
it is most important to have you with us still. Thank God(zilla) you are alive, and for that matter reasonably unharmed. All that comes to mind is 'WOW!' and 'Damn!', and again 'Thank God(zilla) you are OK' So.... what now? You were only doing 99km's per hour on that 100km piece of road, so no doubt insurance will cover it aye  |

yeah man, right on. Actually I'm fucking glad I wasn't hurt. I'd rather be dead than severely injured.
I was outside of my legal driving hours.. I've been on my restricted for 4 years. Shameful. It didn't contribute to the accident however, so they may still pay out with a bit of encouragement. Paid the insurance last week, timely. I don't think any charges will be pressed, no-one is out of pocket except for me. The cop didn't seem to think he would bother with any. I don't know if I want another skyline. At least, not a fast one. Still love the look of them, but almost every skyline owner I know has had an accident now. Oh yeah.. this is the 5th serious accident on that particular corner in less than 3 months. The last one closed the road for a day and claimed a life. Maraetai and Beachlands together have a population of less than 2000, so that says something about the condition of the roads here. Although in this case, I can only blame me. I don't know how I convinced myself 150 was a safe driving speed.

Halcyon on a good note glad to hear you are not seriously hurt. This is another testimine to the construction of a Skyline.
On the other hand with all the press lately of boy racers bla bla not only doing 150 on public roads is very dangerous but STUPID. I am sure all of us had bent or broken the speed limit at one time or another. You just need to use a bit more common sence mate.

DUDE!!!
 I'm really glad to hear you're ok Quote:
I haven't - not in either Skyline, anyway. My only crash was in my old Pulsar, and no-one in their right mind would suggest that a 1.3L Pulsar was inherently dangerous.  A Skyline is one of the safer cars you can have - the only unsafe thing about them lies in what they encourage us to do  Anyways, again - glad you're ok. Got any pics????

I'd love to read some of these replies in depth, but yesterdya afternoon the detail-sensing part of my vision disappeared. Probably from a bump on the head, and eyesight should return in a few days. Touch-typing still works
Dad got lots of pics but I can't see to upload them, hehe. They'll be here soon. The car is totally mangled. At the same yard there was another sklye that had wrapped itself around a tree and done a 90 degree mod to it's body. Scary, scary stuff. This has been a big wakeup for me.
