Nearly Died On The Great Ocean Road

[RBJ3T]

On the weekend I Was away with family up in Lorne and during the weekend did a couple of sorties up and sown the G.O.R. Awesome fun as I have not had a chance to really test out the new brakes and suspension. Anyway, the weekend wraped up and my brother and I left to come home. We did the road at a fairly good pace which was good no doubt but as we got back into Geelong just before you hit the freeway I took off at the lights normaly and the lower end part of my right rear shock popped off the suspension arm. I only just installed the Coilovers like a month ago so I am pissed this could happen. Whats more if this happened at 100kmh around the G.O.R I’d be freaken dead.

Mental note, check everything properly before you push the car. OMG I still can’t stop thinking about it. Sat there and waited an hour and half for RACV. Jacked up the back and put a bolt in and off I went.

It was all done at my mates works shop. Big part of me says I should have double checked before we finished up but didn't. Massive lesson learnt this week.

Signiture is fixd.

Yeah man. I'd be keen to see them. I was so luck we were driving in a straight line when it popped off. If it was 20 minutes earlier I reckon I would have been swimming home.

Surprised I didn't see you!! I went down to Portarlington on Thurs afternoon and again late Tues night to drop my niece back home

Roads are very craphouse for the suspension, especially between drysdale and portarlington

Lucky it wasn't pouring as well, GOR is super dangerous in the wet
