My girlfriends grandmother died today, and as everyone knows sh*t happens in threes. Going through an intersection a dude started to come across and cut me off. anyways, lotsa loose dirt and sh*t on road from construction and I just lost it through the corner and ended up down a gully!! very lucky that me and my girlfriend weren't hurt at all. Dodged a thousand trees and posts. But still couldn't avoid the damage looks like I'll be missing the canberra cruise and my intercooler got slightly damaged... arggghhh time to go and get very very drunk!

If you would still like to come to the Canberra cruise, I am sure we can arrange tocome pick you up. Obviously not the same as your own car (especially since mine is stock) but you can still come along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To Simon (extremef6) I guess you can keep my edit box a little longer now bud I won't be back in this any time soon!! Just make sure she's good to go when I get the beast back chipa, thanks for the offer on the cruise mate. I will let you know how I go. Might reduce me to tears seeing everyone elses T's in one piece!!The girlfriend is going out to buy a lotto ticket... maybe by the end of next week I'll have a new phoon to drive too I might have to go out and take some pics of the area. If any of you canberra guys know the barry drive/haydon drive intersection... well I was turning left onto barry from haydon, and pretty much straight after the lights I went bush!! damn lucky to miss all the posts and bigger trees... just went 4wding over some stumps and bumps made me feel sick looking at the poor thing down there!! god knows what happened!!!PS - I'll probably have the RSPCA on my back now... wanting back the possums and other wildlife stuck on various parts of the car!!! notice the tree embedded in the left hand rear wheel A big thanks to the guys at Quickfit in fyshwick who bashed out my front gaurd to stop the wheel scraping, and for fitting my spare when I couldn't get my wheel off!! Cheers guys, thanks heaps!! the beast looks like its done a few laps of bathurst and had a run in with skaife or a few of the Expensive Daewoo boys!!

Barry drive \ haydon drive that's near the roadworks for the GDE isn't it? If it's where I'm thinking it is sadly I'm not suprised, as that place was an accident waiting to happen...
