:D

this morning on my way to whyalla i had a car accident. the trailer started to fishtale and i lost all control of the car and ended up with the car on a angle in the ditch and the trailer on flat ground.

i was driving at the time and i cant really remember what happened. both the axles are snapped on the trailer and the car i was borrowing a write off. my friend had to be air lifted to hospital with a back injury, he had slipped a disc a while back and they think that the accident has flared it up again. the 31 unfortnatly has some damage, which i dont know the full extent of, all i know is that she is missing a front guard and the bonnet and front bar is damaged from the photos that my mum took.

so yeah she will be out of action for a while :D

    • Ha ha, ended up going it alone.  I just sent it (in a very nervous fashion).  Once I'd released the locks and it didn't automatically start spinning out of control i felt a bit more confident.   It made some loud sounds (cracking and creaking noises) when I first spun it which got the heart rate going again!  I couldn't bring myself to leave it tipped on the side.  I feel a bit more comfortable having back right side up while it sits there. I'd get angry with your last point but you're 100% correct! 😅 Even yesterday I managed to distract myself at numerous times to make a bracket to fit an LED flood light off the back of the house and fix my sons pushbike.  There were other little taks nibbling at my brain for the rest of the day too...
    • Probably one of the more nerve wracking experiences of my entire life! 😂😂 The balance (centre of gravity) is out still but in a direction that gives me comfort!   It's quite bottom heavy still meaning it takes a bit of muscle to rotate it.  The plus side of that is that it wants to to go back to upright.  Better that than wanting to go all stranded turtle on me!
    • hmmm that's not ideal. This is a pretty new engine right, will be interesting if your engine guy has any theories about causes
