yeh single spinner, but after much deliberation and going up under and looking over the car for like 4 hours we have come to believe it can be fixed, by cut and shutting it which is only allowed in victoria

: and my old man who has been a panel beater for 25 years will be doing it all. We actually found that most of the damage was cosmetic, so it looks worse then it is.

The pole some how has actually slid off the spare wheel well and hit the petrol tanke which took all the impact although im going to need a whole new rear end and respray ive been quoted 1500$!! thats rear window, full rear end including boot indicators bars etc. and since me and the old man will be fixing it labour cost...0$ im a very happy boy knowing that she can get back on the road. Maybe this time i`ll treat her with some respect.

Sorry to hear about your car...

Sometimes it pays to drive like my Mum...you won't get anywhere in a hurry, but you'll get there safe. Wish I could actually apply that myself.

The EB was nice. Hope your next set of wheels proves to be as much of a pleasure.

Hmmm......
So I wasn't far off or wrong in my assumption about your driving style (hopefully now former driving style). Looks like you've learnt a hard lesson of where your own stupidity can get you.

You're very lucky that the car can be fixed, and I'm sure we'd love to see some photo's of the car fixed, and with all FOUR alloys on it

Dont worry about it, I have lost count on how many people have had a head rush done the wrong thing and paid for it, come on here and bared their souls about it, which they dont have to do, and get blowned out of the water for it.Ninety nine percent of the members seem to realise this, but that 1 % just have to rub that little extra bit of salt into the wound. I am quite sure that you and your dad will sort it out.We girls have this insight you see.lol

I nearly Killed me and my mate in my old XG ute doing 170 in a 60 zone in a blackzone when the car wouldnt stop for a 90 degree turn. I was lucky enough to hit a mound of dirt at around 60kay that someone had placed in front of a huge electricity pole and Transformer. If it hadn't been there we'd be dead.

About a year or so later, Young Children joyriding their mums green excel Hit that same pole after doing the same thing that I did, and Two died including a 14 year old who was friends with a good mate of mine. It was all over the news.

That memory still haunts me every day I go past that site so before you go off like that, have a think about why some people react the way they do you child. You deserved to be taught that lesson, Its people like you who act like its all a little harmless fun until stuff like this happens and you give us all the woe is me stories. It's all to easy to be sorry once the damage is done and you can see it.

What good for the goose is good for the gander, If we can bag the hell out of commodore drivers who do the same thing (and I'm NOT bagging XzLr8), then jeez its only fair that we similarly chide a falcon man for the same behaviour.

By the way, Im 21 years old. That incident happened whan I was 18. I don't consider myself old by any stretch. Also, I could never be king of the road in my car, and I don't profess to be.

You are one of those people too it would seem, 170 in a 60 zone is crazy, wayyyy faster than he would have been going.

He is not giving us a woe is me story, he is saying he messed up and payed the price. His only complaint is the hypocricy of some people on here who act like they've never smoked a tyre or gone a bit quick around a corner.

The worst are the guys who still drive like dickheads and hang **** on the young guys, but think they have the "necessary experience" to drive like that themselves.

My mate is a classic example, I'm 22 and he's 24, he's drives like a knob and has crashed twice due to driving beyond his abilities, I've never crashed, but if he's ever in the car with me and I do a skid or take a corner fast, he tells me I dont have enough experience to be doing stuff like that, and I should wait until I have more experience like him, he's been saying that since he got his liscence, and probably always will.

OldManGhia · 18-08-2006, 10:15 AM

My old man calls it the School of hard knocks....it seems to be the only way young people learn. My son is no different and I probably wasn't either at his age.

Belle_Hemmi · 18-08-2006, 10:28 AM

The accident wasn't my fault but i was T-Boned at 100km on the drivers door on a busy highway in Queensland about 2 months ago due to a young person trying to fit between me and another car. I was in the middle lane and there was a toyota echo in the right lane about a cars lenght behind and the young driver came up behind me doing about 130 trying to fit between us and he hit the fron of the echo and sent him plowing into the drivers side of my car at 100km and he continuted driving. That section of the highway has bad memories for me. SO please think before you act

hahahaha....I have a mate exactly the same....Ive been baited many times by him but one day i took the bait

If i go past 60 by a K hes like" Ohh don't you kill us" when he drives like a maniac

I say that and his response is" Im allowed too" (the bait)

I say why? your a hippocrit

he says" Because im a better driver than you"

jeez i was fuming

Sorry mate the "people like you" statement sounded a bit condecending, like this guys a bit of a ********, but you're not because you've learned your lesson. Maybe you didn't intend for it to sound like that.

I'm just saying most of us are the same, sometimes we drive a bit recklessly beause we dont really comprehend the repercussions our actions can cause,
The difference between the ones that have accidents and the ones that dont often comes down to luck, not the skill of the driver.

You learned your lesson the hard way, but so did XzLr8, so I dont think theres any reason to chastise him for a crime a large majority of us have been guilty of at some point.

Ahh whatever, I dont think I chastised him for the accident, it was moreover the pic of the car with the Stockies and the explanation as to why they were on the car that I was pointing out.

On a similar topic, I was witness today to a P plater who slammed his new Volkwagen Polo into a Traffic light Pole just outside my uni. He was trying to do a right hander too quick, pushed wide and went into the Traffic light oppisite him.
