i had two big accidents in the rex, you fix it, move on and hopefully learn from your mistakes. public roads are dangerous concrete jungles, come unstuck, its not soft grass run off or a rubber cone to hit, but solid traffic calming 'destroying' devices. you have road conditions that are forever changing, clapped out aussie motoring icons (yet these things never get pulled over or defected) that dump oil, grease and fuel over the place, you come in, don't have to be boy racing either, and before you realise, your facing backwards but not before youve pinballed from kerb to kerb doin some serious damage. TILT

Yeah fuckn oath, this will become another rw thread in no time! Some of these threads are worse than watching fucking days of our lives!!

Anyway Wai, sorry to hear about it mate. I did a similar thing a while back, however my damage was a little more extensive than that. I hope it gets a speedy recovery and you are back to enjoying the car in no time!

bingles happen almost daily on this forum...rarely happens twice to the same person though!

hope you resolve the repairs with minimal fuss.

all the best.

speaking of facing backwards, a Red Corolla went 180deg on the Settlers Hill roundabout heading East, (one before HJ's...where you can see the run-off from many a preson coming unstuck : P) about two cars in front of me last break.

Old story, cheap car, shit tires, wet road, too fast.

Happy to say the only time my car came round on me too far was when I had a rush of blood and decided to use the handbrake to turn a 90deg+ corner.

Sorry to hear that Wai. Good that you are big enough to admit that you have had an accident... many would keep quiet.

Yeah I agree driver training is a great idea. Drivers should always get the feel for a hi po car and never drive beyond their own capabilities.

Ditto WAI, bad luck bud.....but you walked away from it so take the experience as a win.

sorry to hear dude...

whats the repairs gonna cost?

EXPLICIT · #27 26-10-2005, 10:10 AM

It can happen soooo easily......i was close to kerb hopping this morning on the way to work. LH turn onto fwy on ramp from cedric st, greasy corner, car came arse out without a hint of weight transfer or even high entry speed. Knowing how to react instantly is worth booking a defensive drive day....................

..................(or porsche stability management - its literallly dickhead proof)

wai · #28 26-10-2005, 10:18 AM

the interesting thing is... i have take tht L corner many time at the same speed.
and the awd kicked in fine.. which i can feel
but this time for some reason there was no awd ....tires start to screech..
perfect weather, dry turmic abt 90k. the only differnece from the pervious turn was that i was accerlerating as i turned...
do u guy this this is the cost of the slide? or could it be something with the awd sys?
also the slide was not from the back like if u were to drift... the front was sliding.

damages are minimal.. but is probably not drivable at the moment.
the front left lower arm needs to be replaced.
rims need to be fixed.. i dont knw if they are bent as well. but big scratchs.
the bumper came off with a few broken rings but.. is fine in apperance.

do u guys think the car will drive the same again.. after replacing all the required parts and a wheel alingment.. or will it not be as good as it was original.
