i am so happy to talk to u guys again..if u guys still wanna me here...after all i lost the whole car:(

It was just a car....

The important thing is that everyone's OK.

People see the photos and go OH MY GOD! Because everyone knows how quickly these things can happen.

Don't be so hard on yourself.

We're all here for you. :)

g'day everyone i found this thread from a link on overclockers, i just thought i'd say to vicki and the other guys that i hope they get better soon.

If this is the accident that happened on alexandra avenue about 2:55pm on monday then i was the one to find it driving outbound, upon finding it myself and i believe a guy named 'rob' who had been driving inbound, quickly called the ambulance, police etc. and made sure the car was switched off, it seemed bad at the time but it's good to see that noone was seriously injured. I waited around until the guy in the front was taken away but when i asked the police yesterday how you were they just said it was nothing too major, just cuts bruises etc.

It seemed like a completely freak accident considering it had just started raining and having been in that position myself before i can sympathise fully and it seemed like a fantastic car that was tragic to have been involved in such a nasty accident.

I was meant to give a statement to police on tuesday but as i live quite a distance away they said they already had enough witnesses, and I only saw the car come to a stop in the middle of the road as I was driving towards melb high school.

So vicki and company i hope you are all ok and the accident doesn't stay with you for too long and you get another skyline as it looked as though it was a much loved beast!

cheers,

rod.w :)

i would like to thank you very much for your help and assistance on the other day...i was the guy in the front passenger seat...we are all generally ok...a fractured wrist and cuts to face which needed stitches seems to be the worst of the injuries.

i was actually wondering how i could find out who you guys were to thank you in person...maybe we could meet up some time, il buy you a drink!

once again, thanks. and everyone...pls drive safe in these wintery days

thnx alot rob

i wont get a skyline back tho:)

i lost my FTO not long ago too...i think i kill cars too much:(

but really thankyou for ur help:D

Milky:

I went past on my way home on Monday - and grabbed your bumper-bar and one of the foglamps - if you would like them as a memento they are in my garage :)

Glad you OK (and Sniffy too) - you are very lucky. The car must have been airborne to hit the tree so high up!

Sorry for poor quality of image - have bumped up the levels so you can see through the dark. Compare the height of my headlights to the height of the mark on the tree!

I have all these at higher resolution if anyone is interested.

Shows how easy something 'bad' can happen. Take lots of care out there.

Aw - Milky.

Don't let it get you down too much. Yes it was a lovely car, but it was just a car.

You are OK (and so are the others) - this is the important thing.

Some days 'life' just happens - you cannot predict what lies in store. You live to experience another day - whatever it brings. That's all part of the adventure. Hang in there :)

Boy - don't I sound philosophical :)

1st... glad to hear every1 is ok, you all did very well given the state of the car!

2nd... stick with the RAV4, as powerful cars don't seem to be 'your thing'

3rd... maybe sell the RAV4, and buy an early 80's falcodore?

It just goes to show that even skylines don't handle particularly well in the wet... 'specially after a couple of dry days, the road is JUST TOO GREASY!

P.S> the only reason i'm even being remotely stupid with points 2 and 3 is that sniffy is a ledgend the way he has approached the whole thing, everyone is ok and YOU HAVE TO GET OVER IT SOMETIME... ASAP!

    • I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
    • Wonder what the cause is, but here's hoping it's nothing too serious.
    • People don't always want builds that are overly expensive, or have engineering/registration/insurance issues and head aches that come with them Whilst big dollar builds, and complicated stuff is interesting to watch, there is only a tiny % of people who would actually use this information, or have the spare finances to drop on said builds, whereas the buy a cheap(ish) cool car, and make it better, with a average budget, that the average Joe or Jane could achieve will always be a winner in my opinion 
    • Bit of a thread revival, you mentioned wanting a bit more top end before, do you regret not going with the 1.01?
    • It's kind of interesting - They definitely do builds that split the difference between what they like and what will generate views and engagement. The NC Platform always surprises everyone in a good way, in an uncomfortably good way some may say. They could throw a LS in there and arguably have the best (and best performing) car of the entire stable. But that isn't necessarily what draws views, because people viewing don't want to accept the vegetables of a LS NC MX5 being a superior vehicle in every way (including fun) than a RB26 240Z. This is also why there's not a lot of content about the GR Yaris (on the web in general). They're too good, yet 'only a Yaris' The community doesn't want certain cars to be as good as they are - to beat their hero cars, and I believe the NC MX5 is absolutely one of those cars.
