Blown BA In Your Face Member 6,195 Member For: 22y 1m 12d Gender: Male Location: Peninsula Posted 20/07/05 07:57 AM Share Posted 20/07/05 07:57 AM Where can l start and what can l say, yesterday after work heading home l was heading down the Sth Gippy Hwy and as l came around the large roundabout on the right hand lane l relised a car on my left was moving too close to mine and as you do l accelarated to move out of his way and that's where it all began.l hit boost and hit the median strip sliding across the grass and totally lost control of the car, thinking to myself is this going to be the end l saw the wheels of a Semi moving in the oppisite side of the road and hit it with full impact..........airbags went off and that's all l remember. When l came too lying down in the car l didn't know where l was BUT thank GOD l walked out of it with a bump on the side of the head and bruises all over my body. l was off to hospital in the Ambulance and the rest is history...........BUT l would like to say this the XR6 T is a great car and very safe one at that, l have alot of respect for these cars.l want to thank GOD that l am alive and my wife and family for the support so far...........NOT to forget my close friends Craig, Rob at HPF, Steve (Gassit) and everyone else that l haven't mentioned sorry as l'm still in shock and emotional at the moment. l thank GOD that it was the side of a Semi and not another car as it could of been worse.The car is a right off and the insurance has taken care of that, but l'll be back in a BA again soon.Pics are at the bottom.

cunners Member 141 Member For: 20y 1m 27d Location: Perth Western Australia Posted 20/07/05 08:12 AM Share Posted 20/07/05 08:12 AM Holy that's some serious damage and must have been quite an impact... good to hear you're ok with only minor injuries - you can always replace the T but not your health...Did everything happen in slow motion?? I remember when I slid over a median stip (in my teenage years!!) and the whole thing was in ultra slow motion - a really wierd feeling...Just goes to show how easlily accidents can happen... Again - glad to hear u are ok... Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/18920-blowns-wosrt-nighmare/#findComment-274405 Share on other sites More sharing options...
