So i have just realised december for me is a month that i shouldn't go anywhere near a race track or be in a enthusiastic driver manor.

Yep i ran into a landcruiser nearly 2yrs ago to the day today
and tonight i continued my "excellent" form.

leaving the no limitz night tonight, i kept thinkin to myself don't do anything stupid on the way home. Started the car - brain went clear out the window and not 2 mins later i was backwards in a limestone/sand pit on the access road leaving barbagellos.

i did it on the left hander heading down towards the kartway.

so driving down the road over the dips and hills and stuff. speeding ( yes i know) braked heavily for the corner - was approx doing 80km/h if not less. off the brakes - turned in, front tyres haven't gripped, ive turned in more and skidded. gotten traction then spun the ass end of the car around and i have continued backwards into the sand. Now at this moment im thinkin sweet, just sand - i had the brakes well and truely on, no abs ( so it was effective braking) and i managed to miss the shrub but collect a decent lump of limestone.

so after much cursing and swearing, i gathered my thoughts and assessed the damage.

Drivers side front tyre has only broken the beed and lost its air. no biggy.
drivers side rear has got a hole, i heard it hissing. still not so bad.

the limestone has managed to break the skirt clean off the car and dent the sill panel right up and do a nice number on the drivers door.

pictures will be following in the morning once i see it all in the light.

big ups to gerrin from anytime towing for getting me out of the proverbial shit i was in.
to the young lady in the passenger seat ( no one from here) a big sorry and a hug was in order and quite possibly a kick in the jewels.

cheers to the people that stopped to see if we were alright.

so causes.
Dickhead of a manouver with a passenger in the car to start with.
cold shitty tyres + cold shitty tarmac = no grip

listening to the passenger and not my brain *ding ding ding*
HOT DOG WE HAVE A WEINER!

So once i see the car in the light of day i will get some pics and post them up for all to see.

i will try and get it fixed without insurance as i dont want to ruin my no claim bonus but if its bulllshit expensive and maybe a write off - which i really doubt - ill go down that path.


So yeah, What a great night................pity about the ending lol

Oh BTW On an unrelated matter, Jamie the S204 looked and sounded the balls and so did grahams S202.
