pelican Pelican Member 141 Member For: 19y 3m 23d Location: Gold Coast Posted 03/03/06 07:13 AM Share Posted 03/03/06 07:13 AM Was driving from the Gold Coast up to Loganlea via Beenleigh today....It was cold, wet, and on a normal stretch of road I go on...... Get to the top of the hill BELOW the speed limit, and there must have been something on the road, as the back end stepped out big time......Had a choice of a Head on crash or a signpost...... guess which choice I made.....Still, I'm upset / Shaken & pissed off...... now have 1-2 weeks of driving a little rental corolla around...... SHEESH........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pelican Pelican Member 141 Member For: 19y 3m 23d Location: Gold Coast Posted 03/03/06 07:23 AM Author Share Posted 03/03/06 07:23 AM Thanks guys......I was JUST about to go and get the exhaust done & have it edited...... there goes the budget for that........$600 excess, plus rental car costs........I caught the rear quickly..... ( I used to drive go karts in the wet on slick tyres for practice ) knew it was doing it, but the most fightful thing was it was at the top of a hill, with cars normally barrelling up blindly......All I was thinking about was getting hit from head on.......Yep.... I'm fine... but I wish my lovely T was also..... just not the same..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no major damage by the look of it.New bumper, grill and bonnet... Good as new.Now you've got an excuse to get a GT bonnet and bumper bar.
