The Dangers Of Owning A R34

[mr.vvl]

I'm a lurker on the forum and the proud of owner of a R34 GTR VSPEC II ....I live in Trinidad and Tobago down in the west indies and hope one day to move to sydney .. Visited in the summer of last year and fell in love with the place and the people . But that's not what this story is about . Living a in developing 3rd world country means that very rare you get to set your eyes on a car such as a R34 . So i took my car out for a night drive which ultimately ended in disaster because a slightly intoxicated motorist he forgot about the road and stared at my car eventually swerving into it and well that was the end of owning my dream car !!!! He pushed my car onto a concrete walkway which it traveled on for about 500ft where it eventually caught a fire and burnt thankfully no one was hurt ... The car was stock except for upgraded Apexi exhaust system . I'm yet to determine what caused the fire . The car did not collide with anything except for the rear left fender where they guy hit me .the damages are all from the fire ....Guys be careful out here

Sorry again

[Bakes]

[Howie]

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

[babyskyline]

That is total crap. Such a nice car and some drunk tool destroys it on you.

Hope you were insured and get some money back

Sorry to see that

By the way, those look like lmgt4 rims with a good offset.

I'd buy them off you if the shipping wasn't such a hassle!

sorry to hear mate.. such a shame to see a nice car destroyed.

ps. moneypit they look more like te37s to me.. 6 spokes and all. yeah shipping would be an absolute bitch!

[(B1) MR_fanny]

as the saying goes...shit happens and in your case it really was the shit that happened. may have caught fire because of the sparks generated under as you did a 500ft skateboard rail grind on the concrete walkway.

whats gonna happen to the driver?

I was expecting a molitove cocktail being thrown at your car as part of a car jacking when i first read where you were from and saw the pics..lol

[mr.vvl]

Nothings gonna happen to the other driver, we don't have much laws when it comes to vehicular accidents ....was a 17 yr old boy coming home from a night club .... and they are not LMGT4 ...they were the limited edition Mercury Silver TE37 the car also had on an original Nismo R-tune body kit

I hope you belted the shit out of the kid, i would of made him and his car end up looking very simular to your 34, he would be lucky to be breathing without a machine if that happened to me.
