I Spit In Your Face Heslo & Hit A Wall

[Tangles]

no offence meant.

family & trusted friends are all above board, just like in this instance. Heslo obviously trusts Chef and as friends Im sure they'll work out an arrangement.

feel real down for you both

[bezender]

Yeah not my finest hour, but Luke has been brilliant about it and he knows I'm gonna be forking out the coin to sort it all out. We're in "if you don't laugh you'll cry" mode at the moment.

I came around the sweeper in the wet, squeezed back on the throttle and it just snapped on me, someone later suggested there may have been oil there where the drifters park to start their runs, so I'm using that as my excuse! Anyhoo, it snapped hard left, and once it hit the wet grass I was just a passenger until I tagged the wall.

And technically neither of us registered a time, so the original challenge still stands

I thought someone may have been tracking their wheely bin and got loose infront u so u had to evasive action

[craig R33]

A better option would be genuine high level scrutineering for the cars

I had a so called drift car on the dyno last year - and when I turned the fan on the bonnet (cheap cracked fibreglass imitation carbon thing) actually blew off across the room. It was taped together and then went out and raced at the track like that 2 days later.

I am old enough to remember when drift cars had front and rear bars on them and cable ties were for tying cables not holding the car together

Doesnt one of the multitude of SA drift series run out at Tailem Bend now?

Anyway that sucks Heslo, have always really liked your car

i agree scrutineering on engines needs to be tighter,

and stadium drift does happen at tailem bend, which is hardly what id call a good track.

dont put every diftt car in the same basket.

[Martin Donnon]

Dont get me wrong there are or have been some good drift cars that I have worked with or enjoyed over the years and there are obviously many more I would not know about. CTS, Pickerings, Cootes lad, Boliger and one or two others are notable properly engineered cars or are close to it.

Too many absolute boxes of turd 'hangin sliggidy an sik skidz n shit' going on though in 2011. I have refused to dyno these kinds of cars on safety grounds before and continue to do so. Bald tyres, breather hoses vented onto exhaust manifolds, oil pouring out of sumps etc. and so on. I will not damage my $170,000 dyno on a sloppily and lazily put together heap of junk worth $5

Needs a good scrutineering clean out and drift could come good again

Regardless we may as well talk about Drift not much more information is forthcoming in this thread

[Madaz]

yeah pics or ban

[Martin Donnon]

Ban Iron Chef for being soft and stacking it

and Heslo for not posting pics

Maybe we could pull the fuse and turn it into a drifter now?

(All jokes Heslo - like I said your car is bloody nice)

[Luke_ENR34]

Think the Chef should just import this for him http://page18.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/w61230424

Dude,

That is a huge call. Are you saying that you would never help out mate or family member with your car if they were in deperate need?

These things are just material possessions mate, you cant take them with you when you go 6 foot under

I have wanted a 32 GTR since i was 7 years old and now that i have one, i let others experience what a fine piece of machinery and history it is so they too can enjoy it!!

Other people dont have to feel the same way you do about the car, thats thier decision. Its not about respecting the car, its about respecting the owner...

Any hoo, that sucks Luke!! New N1 your way with Chef driving in a skirt... photos on SAUSA please

Cheers,

Matty

Huh, I don't see this has anything to do with Kristian driving Luke's car..........how was Kristian in any desperate need......sorry but invalid arguement bud.

Feel miserable for Luke & Kristian but I'm with Tangles on this one............haven't we learned from the Krishy vs Abe deal??

Hope the damage isn't too bad fellas

[Iron Chef]

I appreciate that you guys want to hypothesize on whether or not you should lend cars to mates, Luke knows me well enough to know that I will pay for the repairs, I doubt he wouldn't have let me out there in the first place if he didn't think that was the case.

Early reports suggest I'm up for a fair bit of money in parts, so my JZX110 is now for sale to help cover it - let me know if any of you feel like defecting to a Toyota...

I am sorry Pete...but how was it Krishy vs Abe? It should be the "Krishy and Abe", as we were not versing each other.

dont tempt me!! might be a cube for mum, and a 110 for me

[SLED]

LOL.....don't be sorry..............I think most peeps know where I was coming from

[Martin Donnon]

This is a sign of how good this community is, mates helping mates and being true to their word. Good work

Its only a car and it will fix easy and be better than ever

[GTAAAAAAH32]

no way Id say I told you so, but fact is you just cant trust anyone else with your possessions......

no offence meant to Chef or Heslo.

just the way I see life. Your possession = your responsibility, + fact others wont feel for it the same way you do.

Pete,

Quite clearly that says to me that Tangles wouldn't give his car out to anyone at all. regardless of the circumstance. Not relating it to this afternoons events, just in general!!

Obviously, as he says in the previous post, family and and mates in desperation are a different circumstance and this is what i was trying to clear up.

Good luck with the repair fellas.

Cheers

No hypothesy here Kristian, my stance is very clear.......NEVER EVER lend cars to mates (no matter how well you know them).

I appreciate that you're a good guy Kristian, hence having to sell a car to pay for Luke's, it's just a real shame that it's come to this.

This is a forum after all which will invite comments of every description, but like I said earlier, I feel miserable for both of you..........nothing personal there champ

[heslo]

Guys guys guys, come on now and show a bit of respect please. It's a shit situation, it happened and what happens is between Kristian and I, no one else....

That being said, Kristian is a great bloke, true to his word and I have not one hard feeling against him; it was an accident, he didn't mean for this to happen, it could have just as easily been me and more importantly, HE IS OK! That is my number one concern, not the car, him

Also, cheers to everyone out there today helping, to all those sending messages and to Matty T for the tow and as Martin said, it's only a car, it can be fixed and it's true, this is an example of how great the community can be; not all this shit that goes on with Windies, etc.

[SLED]

True Luke.....glad Kristian wasn't hurt

And I never doubted for 1 second that he wouldn't pay for the damage

Don't take what I'm saying the wrong way guys

[Martin Donnon]

Dont sweat it Luke I have seen a lot worse than that, its only a love tap, nothing major

Well said mate, Kristian's safety is more important than any damage to the car.

and at the end of the day Luke is a big boy and can make his own decisions in regards to his car and property and if / who he lets to drive it. Just because you have an opinion on how you manage your property it doesn't mean that it applies to everyone.
