Hehe dont like to laugh at your mis-fortune but god damn thats funny...mainly due to commentry..... who was driving with Joe?

I didnt realise that happened in Armadale.....thats corner is like 1min away from my house...cool :) Also its Albany Highway not Armadale road like you say in the video (yeah i know no one likes a smartass)

Ben

@#$%^&*(!!!!!!!:flamed:

Hehe yeh bad case indeed, if ure sitting at the lights the corner looks more cornery and not so straight if u catch my meaning. I was thinkin it was a long swweping corner then alluva sudden im sideways on a straight road:eek: hmm mostly bad drivin though:lol:

hehe yeah... i was just winding you up man. actually that corner has a few bumps in it too. that wouldnt have helped.

anyways i dont exactly have a clean track record when it comes to 180ing it off the road on a cruise :) (read mandurah cruise) lucky for me all i hit was a heap of grass.

Plus i do not accept blame for the first incident that was total BS coulda happend to any1. The one u see here though ahh... yeh well cant blame any1 for that now can i :) At least after those 2 i never drive like a nutter on the road (used to cain it like a man possesed) i have gained a measure of 'self control' too bad that doesnt extend to "car control" :)

If anything it tells me im not as l337 as i thought. I apologise for not being as l337 as you Ken :(  Im sure u had ure share if run ins in ure time.:) *ahem*GTR*cough*targa*splutter*write off:)

1337 Huh !! whats that.

My share, f**cken oath. I trashed a few in the early days , but always in competition , not on the road.

Have destroyed a Datto(1600)

Murdered a Mazda ( RX7 )

and heaven forbid

Screwed a Skyline ( GTR )

but I'm getting better at it . Driving , not crashing , that is

;)

i cant afford the insurance on my car so have 3rd party fire n theft from Suncorp Meway. costs me $252 a year, and in the event of an accident it covers everything (car and property) except for my own car. i personally think thats the way to go if you are unable to pay $2000 a year or more for insurance.

once im 21 im gunah try again, ive never had an accident so hopefully in 2 years time ill get a decent quote on insurance....

hey adam, im chasing insurance quotes at the moment, called Suncorp up, they said they dont do any under 21's. How is this so, is your insured under parents name without u being nominated as a driver?

    • This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?
    • Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅
    • Try fabricating something like this and install it under the pedals? Not sure if it's legal or not....
    • Even though I have some pretty good (brand) ratchet ringies, I avoid using them to break open tight bolts. A broken ratchet is very annoying.
