Well guys im PLANNING to come .. everything seemed all good today.. untill i just burnt the **** outta my clutch on my way home :D

So hopefully my car will make it.. :S

Would be nice if we can stay somewhere on the coast..

[Ska]

Well good news is that we got $45.60 in donations from the meet to go to SAU. Bad news is that I had a bit of a bingle with an island.

Basically end of a really long straight, came in too hot, didnt see the corner coming up but saw the warning sign, started to brake and saw that corner was fast approaching, felt the car back end drift a bit to the left, corrected and then the brakes locked, and pulled up just about 2 metres too far

BIG Thanks to all who helped change the tyre and expert opinions on if it was drivable and what needed to be replaced and who joined the train following me basically 95% of the way home.

Think I'll be a passenger for the next couple of cruises:D

[Lazy-Bastard]

Condolences Ska

Hope your downtime is minimal.

Bright side is you were not injured, and just think....it coulda been a wall/ditch/tree/edge of cliff, and done a shitload more damage to you and your car.

[Ska]

Oh hell yeah! I saw the island and aimed fot the middle, no way was I going to try to miss it and hit either end with those signs, that would have been far worse. I did try letting up on the brakes to try to go left, but when I did car seemed to move faster towards the island, brain took over i think and pressed harder

Lesson, when you do not know the road, take it easy there were a lot of really deceiving corners, I just happen to be the unlucky sod to pay for being a bit too overconfident. Lucky there was no one in front or too close behind me.

Wonder what it looked like from behind, strutto?

Downtime will be long, but only have myself to blame for that

[mindflux]

Happy to train you home SKA .. lucky it was only minor could have been alot worse..

I enjoyed myself, nice catching up with alot of you guys .. i dont think the 'line liked those roads though .. i think i bottomed out a few times :S

Cant wait to see the pics!

[avalonea]

yeah you were lucky alright ~ hunt around for some with with a 33 f/c to grab some bits off ;P sure that it wont cost you much,

i also think if you ask some people they will give you a hand to change it , *raises hand*

any way . good night . even tho my poor widdle frakinstine s13 was a little out of place * i have skyline breaks *

`josh ( povo s13 )

[Ska]

No way your little Sylvia SX Was awesome, was very cool seeing the flames

Yeah right at this point in time I dont want to even think about fixing it, I want to sleep, but cant. It's getting very annoying

Dont you worry, as soon as I get a guestamite on the costs and scrounge it from somewhere, I'll be putting the call out for help

Thanks a lot for offereing, and again THANKS to all who helped out.

You know the thing that scared me the most was not the crash, it was the hissing once I stopped, I so thought it was the motor and shat myself, turned it all off, and realised it was the tyre deflating, whew, looked underneath, no leaking fluids, whew, I count my lucky stars as 1 metre either way i would have hit those sign poles, nasty even though I only hit it at ~60kph I thought I did pretty good in pulling her up, really tried to keep her straight, and so tried to let off the brakes when it did lock, cause i knew i had to, just brain took over i think.

Oh well, it was an exciting experience

Thanks again to all who helped!!!

[Nexus9]

Yeah scary moment there Ska and as you said it could have been a lot worse.

Lets hope the damage is only minor.

[Zoix]

yeah glad you came out in one piece. and able to drive home.

I just got home and seen nothing but cop cars, also dog squad utes around my area. I wonder what happened.
