He's my mate - caught some oil or something on the road while going through the round about and sent him sideways into the pole. Speed etc was not a factor, it was just one of those unfortunate things. Cars prob a write-off and the poor bloke is guttered.

Can't see how that makes him an idiot.

Ouch man, did he have insurance? I know how the oil thing works, I hit some oil on a round-a-bout in Tuggeranong, wasnt speeding or anything, and almost went up the gutter and into the pole because I had no control of the car. To top it off it then spun sideways a bit after it finished understeering/sliding across the oil and I almost wiped out Aurora (he was driving next to me)... but yes to say again, we wernt speeding/racing nothing.

I hope your friend has insurance!!

Yeah, damn oil.

Understandable, poor bloke.

I think what mickGTR was saying was it probably looked like just another fool out in the rain, there were plenty of them over the weekend. Good to hear it wasn't caused by stupidity, but bad that it happened all the same. Hope your friend is alright.

As for what Amaru is talking about, yeah, if he'd gone around i would have worn it, we were just on the way home from...i can't remember, and all of a sudden his car steps out and then snaps back, and i'm just watching on from a metre away in the other lane.

Scary stuff

Its all good - I'm just lookin out for me mate.

He's in pretty good shape actually, not even sore so he's lucky.

He has insurance and they're on the case at the moment. Fingers X'd he'll be in the position to get another 'line. Its just a pitty this one is gone cause it was clean as.

A 5 minute trip from red rooster to erindale shops last week in the rain, 8 separate guys had it out sideways through the round-a-bouts in the area, one nearly clipping me going i nthe other direction.....

But more of a warning to guys down south, over the last few weeks Ive noticed sand covering oil on the roads in some streets n near round-a-bouts. Looks like there may be some wankers putting it on the road for their own personal enjoyment.

Yeah there are. Noticed a few times there's been oil down towards Erindale/Wanniassa/Calwell/Richardson, and the general Tuggeranong area.

It's a serious problem, because one day someone won't see it, come through their patch of oil and kill someone innocent .

Bah

Thats ****ed guys..... oil on the roads...

I saw a similar thing happen to a black skyline late last yr... Was driving me mates R31 and Down from woden past fadden, The big round about there.. Black R32 tried to chase me round the bout, lost control and hit a light pole... Saw the whole thing in me Rear view... Not a pretty site. He drove off, not sre of the damage, but he left me a nice side mirror..

I had to pick up the light pole and move it off the road before anyone hit it..

Was more of an Idiot driving that time.. Trying to boost it around the bout... i dunno... But didnt hold..

I just passed it as it happened, It looked like he just lost control....IDIOT.

Should have known how slippery the roads are.  He had to learn the hard way!

Now that we know that there may be more to the story, how about you retract your comment and in future dont immediately brand someone a tool when you dont know the whole story.

Generalising like that only makes you look like the idiot.

      This could be sold and shipped to the US for many gold pieces. RMS has no say in that. Ask various Western Sydney inhabitants how it works.

      Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛

      Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it

      Good tips, I like it! 😂😂 My wife is a LOT more frugal than me so it's only me we need to worry about! A splurge to her is buying 2 pairs of socks in one visit at Kmart!

      Haha, the appropriate response to the question "Is this new?" is "I've had this for a while.". With the unspoken small print that a while may be the time since this morning or five years ago   And to be fair I learned that from the best, i.e. my wife. Because it goes both ways.
