Default How Lucky is this

Earlier went to Jamsport with a pal who had his fez st lamda gauge fitted and i booked mine in for a set up when my o/s/r tie bar snapped as i was pulling away lucky it werent on the motor way.Well as he is repairing that for me I may as well have him fit my cam kit for the set up lol they were really helpful and jamie got my car off the road and offered to do the lot for a very good price would recommend them to anybody and they treated my mates car as they would their own

yep it was totaled...

it had a 2" wide split from the back light to the front floor pan and the rear floor pans were as high the rear seats lol...

and i had a sub in the back and it smashed the brackets off the rear seat and landed in my seat and where i didnt have a seat belt on some how i was on the missus lap....

it was a bit scary.... so make sure the suspension is tight lol

well it was a few lanes and abit of stunt driving trying to control the spin and when you hit the barriers right the little posts are designed to slow a car very quickly but when i parked it into them at about 90ish it threw me from my seat ....

and the only pain i had was the steering when the car first spun ripped the wheel from my hand and bent the shit out of my thumb and banged my knees up...

lesson learnt.... thats why the final drive in my box is being changed as i would have my engine revving all the time than be in a car that can do 160+

it was head on the woman police officer was crying aswel it was quite bad...

but when it happened this idiot stoped dead in front of me and in the wet at 60mph i tryed to get round them but hit the police car head on but to be honest it was my fault for not having enough experience and getting to close to the car in front....

evil canivel?
