No Driving For A While! Not No More!

[Guest Joeyz]

Hi all.

I know it has been a while Got a call today to say that my car will be ready this Saturday. I am so hanging to drive again. It will be like a new car

Hope to see you around some time soon!

Joe

Sorry to say i wont be on the road for a while

Hear is the story i'd like to share.

Was driving to work through blacktown heading toward prospect and turned onto the Great Western HWY down the ramp and was raining hard, toward te end of the off ramp i was nearing and a car already on the HWY was doing about 50kph, older lady to be expected, no worries. So i moved across and over took her, easy for me to see out the front window thank god to rain-x, so i was gaining in speed toward 80kph in 4th gear when the back of the car stepped out, due to aqua plaining and the rear end come around to the right, now heading toward the left hand side of the road and a gard rail was nearing. The back end of my car contacted the rail mainly damaged the drivers rear end. So no rear lights at all, dad came down to drive behind me for safety reasons and got it home. The car is insured, just got to get a few quotes and then hopefully get it fixed like new again.

Here are some pic's

No SNS for me I will still come and see all at the SNS.

Oh, has anyone heard of any really good smash repairs in Blacktown or smithfield area. Past experience?

Reguards Joe.

Rain makes things very slippery.

Give Louie from Xclusive Colours a call. He's the best and he's cheap if it turns out better to not claim on insance.

Hey dude bad luck there, a mate in my street had a decent hit in his R33 not long ago, he is a member here and he had it repaired through insurance at HUME SMASH REPAIRS at lansvale. I couldnt believe the job they did considering the damage,look them up worth a try... Good luck

Sorry to hear about the crash....these cars can be a bit tricky in the wet can't they. Was your rear tyre tread depth good?

[Sinful]

OMG Joey

Thats such bad news....so glad you are ok tho

It is hard to drive these cars in the wet at times, I know I have been taking it very easy for that same reason..

Hope you get her fixed up soon
