Fuels been Sitting in there so long octane would be starved better not boot it lol

[t5iv]

Leaving fuel in there for that long could be a bad thing. What's the plans for the cruise?

[me_larr]

To try not to damage your car

[tommis85]

That was a very leisurely cruise guys! So calming and peaceful, and the food was good too!

Glad you didn't get your butt kicked. The big question now is........ will she still let you come out and play with us?

[t5iv]

Wait. There's two nicks?

[me_larr]

What happened?

Driving fast on bumpy roads with 4 yr old worn tyres.

She took the 1st (relatively sedate) run ok but the 2nd (more aggresive) run she started to understeer more and more with each corner. I chose to maintain my pace and understeered off the road and nearly plunged into a creek. Over corrected to avoid the creek and spun onto a gravel patch (luckily not a tree). The impact of hitting the gravel ripped my front lip off

Have done that road numerous times and have always driven within my limits. The one time I choose to be a noob and ignore the feedback the car was giving me, this happens...

I make no excuses for my lack of professional driving skills but I think a true pro would have chosen to not drive the car at that pace in the first place.

Glad you didn't get your butt kicked. The big question now is........ will she still let you come out and play with us?

Yea she's OK with you guys. Her wish is that we perhaps tone it down a little.

Maybe now she'll let me spend a bit more for happy laps

That sucks dude! At least you managed to stay on the road and not in the creek. front bar completely munted or repairable? Definitely come to happy laps and work on skills.

[me_larr]

Lucky indeed.

Minor repairs needed to the front bar. Its only a fibreglass copy lip. Got an original tucked away somewhere safe.

An original ABS plastic lip mounted properly would have seen the whole front bar ripped off LOL
