Ht.net: Hills Cruise Viii

[typevu]

Yeah me, the car infront and the car behind was just driving nice and smoothly... turned around a corner and was like HOLY SHIT *SLAMS ON BRAKES* saw the car infront inching to the right to avoid the car infront, me inching to the left and the car behind was just about the same....

[typevu]

Here's a pic I took - the S13 flipped onto it's roof but by the time I took this pic they flipped it over... the driver's side front of the roof has been like crunched in.

apart from the "incident" it was a pretty good night i thought. i had a great run down gorge rd with a yellow evo and a lotus exige

[typevu]

I agree, it was a really good cruise up until that point and then it's like.... nah yeah don't feel like cruising anymore!

here's one when it's still on it's roof

[Shazza24]

Wow, sounded fun yet horrific.....

[pistol-pete]

the worst part i think is that it wasnt even his car, it was his neighbours

[GTR-32]

pistol-pete, was that you with the little domo hanging from the rear of your car? If so your car sounds f**kin' nuts!! think it was you that pulled out behind me at the round about on montacute road then turned right down a side street?... Were cars locking it up all over the place last night, new brake pads FTW!

The dude in the silvia was apparently being a tool, hense why he flipped.

[pistol-pete]

yeah thats me.

people were pulling up on the wrong side of the road which was f**kin stupid, caused a few rear enders apparently

[Matty Sherlock]

How did all of this happen anyway? I could be completely wrong but it sounds like this was a free for all!?! It just seems stupid to me. If we all drove our cars the way we want to on public roads we'd be dead. Simple. No disrespect to anyone but hopefully nobody got seriously injured ay?

[pistol-pete]

to be fair, i saw none of the supposed "hooning" from where i was.

i think inexperience driver + peer pressure from being on a big cruise with 3 people in his car wouldve been a big factor in him trying to drive beyond his limits.

having said that, we werent going fast at all so not really sure how he managed to flip it.

[typevu]

in-experienced, pressure from someone tailgating possibly, went through that section a bit too quick for his car/him to handle - stock 4wd spec height, shit brakes, shit tyres....

[chef_stagea]

scary shit... very lucky really.... 1 side of alot of those ghetto roads incurs a rather large drop... lucky to keep it on the road really

[Matty Sherlock]

I wasn't pointing blame at anyone pete, it's not my place anyway mate. I just think it's a kick in the shins ya know? Not really fair on other road users in my opinion.

[J - Rad]

ns are f**king useless.

i wasnt saying you were matty, didnt mean to come across that way. i just meant from my position on the cruise, it seemed quite well behaved (apart from the crash obviously)

anyway im happy i dont daily my gtr anymore. cant wait for sapol's backlash

The backlash would most likely be in the form of clamping down on future cruises...

[pistol-pete]

hopefully youre right vu. still disappointing after a lot of hard work has been put in by people only to have it ruined so quickly

[Matty Sherlock]

All good pete, I wasn't there anyway. A bit ill perceived on my part perhaps, just shits me when one silly thing can have serious consequences. I can't say I've never bent the rules either

[Import S13]

This is why I don't drive with anyone other then my mates now.

Too many spasticated retards.

[Dumpe]

A good turn out last night...

I was lucky to b in the front pack there and on the return..

I was following a Grey r33 gtr who knew his way and the ability to drive his pride and joy in a safe manner. If not for his loud exhaust it would have been 7 cars in stealth mode thru the hills.

On the return everyone decided to follow me but not knowing the route I pulled to the side and let a few past. Once back in the pack I was behind a silver gtst( I think ) who definitely knew the way with plenty of indicator use, drove very well to the conditions with a nice light show from the exhaust. At the next stop a lovely girl came up apologising if her exhaust had caused any damage to my front bar....i couldnt see no damaged and I praised her on her skills. Its good to see women who can drive the beast..
