Just smacked the rolla

Coming around a right hand sweeper at about 60km/h, right hand lane, median strip on the right, saw something dart out in front of the car. Tried to brake and steer to the right to correct, completely lost the arse of the car, went all over 2 lanes, mounted the median strip - straight over into 3 lanes of on coming. No cars thankfully, decided I couldn't stay there so booted it over the gutter on the other side. Car was OK, but tyre deflating fast. Couldn't change it there so jumped back in and drove down the road a bit. Put the spare on. Leaked the tiniest bit of radiator fluid after(could have been doing that anyway).

Alignment is completely shot - limped it home nearly going all over the road.

Tomorrow I'm up for 2 (probably 4) new tyres, a full alignment and a check up of suspension components and engine components. I reckon the front right is bent somewhere - don't know if it can be fixed or not.

Fuck.

Glad to hear your okay.

Crikey!!! At least you're allright...

haha, Oz is a h00ner!

HOON!!! :D

I can't push my car very fast.
I got my car up to 150 on a quiet highway near Helensburge and Wollongong once. Actually, I do it all the time!.

Bummer, but could have been a lot worse

Dude, that sucks, good thing your alright though and there was no oncoming traffic. Let us know how much total cost to fix your car.

Sorry to hear that Oz. Hope it isn't too f-ed up.

the upside...nobody got hurt,and the replacement parts shouldn't be hard to find.

Downside still sucks though.

It is never fun to do damage to your car. For me(I am crazy) once you get it fixed it still never feels the same as before.

Good luck

upside reminds me of Mudslide :lol:
That sucks buddy, but be glad your okie dokie

At least there was no traffic and no one was hurt, so thank goodness for that.

Sucks about your car tho...

did you ever find out what it was that darted out in the first place??? glad your ok and the OZ gets to live another day

wish I could look at that site. won't let me cause it is "mature"

good thing you are ok, but it still sucks about the car.

hmm, surprised nobody asked this yet: did you actually see something run out in front of you, or did you think you saw something?

for those who DON'T get what i stated, good for you.(seriously)

:cheers: guys. Car is in the shop and I got 2 buses to work.

As for the cat - definately something there because the guy next to me locked em up too.

:( Not happy today.

hmmm....Make sure you take out the engine, I think an engine like that would go well one of the New Zealand-made (aka. Chris Amon tuned handling) Corollas :D

Just hope that they're not being cunts and giving you a Daewoo Cielo!!!

giving you a Daewoo Cielo!!!



pssst, he's in Ausie, they think Cielo's are cool :screwy:



Sorry to hear about the loss of the rolla.
Altough I find it odd that your writing the car off with only a bent sub frame.

Unless the whole unibody is bent it shouldn't be that hard to fix.

Just hope that they're not being cunts and giving you a Daewoo Cielo!!!
:hehe: *Remembers how he broke a Cielo's mirror just by brushing against it*




*Thinks for a sec and hopes the Cielo driver isn't on AF*



*Realises that anyone who drives a Daewoo probably hates cars, so he is safe*

Glad you're OK!

It sucks to hear the car was destroyed, good that you are getting another one. Any word on what type it is.

87 Ford Falcon with brand new hipo engine. :D God I'm hungover.

Oz is driving a Falcon!

HaHahAhaHAhAhAhAh.

87 Ford Falcon

Two words..........The Castle.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

6 or 8? You dirty bogan!

6 :D
Nobody likes, nobody likes, nobody likes a bogan. I'm thinking of putting a wing on the back and a 4" straight through exhaust for pure piss take value. Will post pics early next week :thumbsup:

I second that motion, you want a rota [/dangling shiny medallion hypnotically]

An XF Falcon? Well, it's only $400, so that might be a plus. You bougan, get a Hawldun.

Get fickedd.

lmao... gotta make a cardboard body kit and put lots of NOS stickers on it! that would be the pimp machine right there!!! git er done... :grinno:

Picked it up yesterday. Filled the tank up and doubled the value :D $80 for a tank of petrol :eek:

The thing is a auto station wagon with aerial bent into shape of Australia, cracked windscreen, 2 bald tyres and 2 non working door handles. Apart from the obvious oil leak and the interior's strangely Wood Stock like odour, it's quite good. :D

pssst, he's in Ausie, they think Cielo's are cool :screwy:


So am I and I've never HEARD of a Cielo?!?! :lol2:

Daewoo Cielo. Scary shitbox. But still WAY superior to the Falcoon of Doom.

4.1L of carby hell!! Stalled putting it in reverse twice this morning. New windscreen goes in tonight.

You need The Touch when driving a car such as that.

You should have seen the reverse park this morning. A very nervous Lexus SC440 driver in front and brank spankers land rover driver behind. But did it with not an inch to spare :D
