Almost ended in tears

[MetBlue_GTST]

Well i went down to WASCC test and tune day at Waneroo Raceway yesterday with my parents coz they haven't see the 'line in action... So i borrowed some rims from Paul (THANKS DUDE, will wash and return them soon, when you need them back??), ran round on Saturday for some wheel nuts, which i finally found and then ran around on Monday morning to get my tyres (old shitty ones) fitted to the rims which i was just able to do and then get to the Track before the deadline... So after all that effort, i had a few goes and sorta noticed something wasn't quite right with the steering and braking, nothing major and i had a look and shook a few things, but everything seemed fine, so i give the keys to dad for a go and he comes back after 5 laps saying its pulling to the right quite badly, so i go out and almost drive off the track... So after a bit of testing things aren't looking too good so i leave and drive the car home with the steering wheel on a 25-30degree angle... When i finally get home i put my rear rims back on and then jack up the front and take the wheel off i notice a big-ass bolt hanging outta the lower control arm... The bolt was only in the hole by about an inch!!! Fark me that could have ended in tears if the bolt fell out while i was racing or driving... DAMN!!!

Sorry about the length, just thought i might share my brush with a possible disaster.... Still had a great time at the track before things went wrong... And the cruise on Sunday!!!!!!!!

Don't know... Just sorta happened... Very weird, but i feel very lucky... Two lucky days in a row... First one was Sunday on the cruise, i left the backend step out in Kalamunda and a cop saw me, flashed his lights then pointed straight at me, but did nothing, then the bolt.... damn, like Jules said, i should go and buy a lotto ticket... :bahaha:

Dan,

Yeah dad loved it, he said it pulled so hard that he doesn't need to get a botox injection... :bahaha:
