Not hard to tip a Hanging meat truck over, youve only gotta have all the hanggers go to one side and shes all over.

Anyway... on with the show.


Never EVER attempt a 'U' turn whlist talking to your passenger. There could be a Truck in the way!

Yes it was a lady driver and yes, she said she never saw me!!

The good news is that both driver and passenger got out without a scratch!

The Truck



A Subaru right front guard.



The rest



It now makes so much more sense to me why you call the Fairlane "The Barge".

What not to do at a round-a-bout.

I was already having a lousy day and returning to work after lunch I decided to lighten my mood.

No one was hurt (driver of the van in foreground) but the lite ace was written off.

I still can't believe you fixed that! I had my car repaired after the accident on the first page too, but it didn't look anywhere near as bad as your prang!

no pics or anything. but a girl in geelong got a pretty new honda civic off her parents when she was 16 or so. she drove it around and drove freinds around constantly as if she was on her P's never with her parents.
she wrote off the first one into a pole. not long after she had another civic same as before into a pole. these had some slight mods as well not just ya basic cheap things. but not highpower things.
of course not long latter yet another civic.
to my knowledge she is on her 3rd but it may be more.

XA_GT351, that pic is nasty. It's such a shame to see an XA Coupe in that sort of condition. It looked great beforehand

Sounds like the parents aren't much better than the girl herself! More $$$ than sense.

OK KIDDIES!
LISTEN UP!
this is what bloody happens when you take your parents car for a spin!
if you think it can't happen to you, then your exactly like me! this was earlier this year. i didn't even have my P's....

THE SKID: IT WAS 150M!


THE AIRBAGS:


THE LEFT HAND SIDE:


THE WHEEL ASSEMBLY:


THE RIGHT HAND SIDE:


NOW!
if any of you younger people are thinking of doing the same stuff i did, for christs sake! think it through, i nearly killed 2 of my best mates.
riting off a car= replacable, Killing your friends=not replacable!
GOT IT!?
and if anyone is worried about their kids driving.
bring them round to my place. i will more then gladly walk them through it.
also if you want any more pics/info let me know.

my brothers mate had this 180sx for all of three days. straight into a tree. we all predicted that he would crash it but not as soon as he did. tried to drift roun a corner on a wet road. because he had not had the car long he didnt no how it would act. stupid.

a 2 way differential in an import is alot different from a standard LSD, its basically a locker. of course he had his foot on the accelerator when going around the corner because he didnt expect that to happen. when the rear end went out he controlled it as best as he could for an 80 KMH corner and tried to keep it on the road and not in a paddock, but met the VY that didnt even brake or swerve..

like the police say its partially your fault because your driving on the road even if its not your fault.

it wasnt me that wrote off my car so this accedent aint my fault, i just feel sorry for my mate the passenger.

ABS doesn't stop a car from skidding from losing control. He obviously took the corner too hard and spun it. ABS has nothing to do with this. Even still, it was a stupid move though.
