Haha.. ive been having a blast latley...


I geuss too much....








well... I almost flipped over and died.

Story:

So, I was in 4th gear, just getting past redline at around 135-140mph, and, BAM! my drive shaft ripped in half, tore through my floor, air lines to my front bags, e-brake, etc.

So, I suddenly loose my front bags, the car hits the ground, my rear brakes lock up due to e-brake getting tangled, and I come to a scrapping stop on the side of the freeway. Waiting 3 hours for a flatbed tow truck to deliver my car 3 miles.

It was one ****ed up night, I got home at 3AM....

Here are the pics.... pay attention to the front crossmember, where the metal turned blue do to extreme griding.

ENJOY!!!!!

I like the oil cooler, but those forward pointing inlet/outlet pipes look like a nice pedestrian maiming device :p

haha saw a few of those pictures posted on RR yesterday.

thats some serious grinding going on there.

I love big old estates, especially the one you posted from NZ (i think?) that got the green ticket for being too low.
 
That's sweet!!

Lucky. As soon as I saw the tunnel I thought about the mess that would have been made if those lines had gone. Ouch!!

Mikuni's shuv wagon?

They're surprisingly small. Park a Chevette next to a Corsa and it looks tiny.

It's cool but I think I can smell fake patina. Bit of a nasty disaster and glad the guy is ok. I think he'll be running his air lines somewhere else next time eh?
