Sambo33gtst Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Li'l story for you guys. Last night was a going away dinner/drinks for a mate who is leaving the coast for work for about 6 months. So we came to the decision that i would be the DD (designated driver)...so were at the pub having a counter meal and a few beers...while i had like 15 lemon lime and bitters after dinner we cruised into mooloolaba to hit up the irish bar for some more brews. Come about 12.30 we decide to jump into my mates car (VX auto commodore) and drive home and drop everyone off at the end of a very decent midweek binge. So we got to our first destination where i dropped off both the owner of the car and his cousin and we were left with myself (driving) and my mates and well known rev head in the passenger seat. Soooo a few roundabouts into the journey home, stew tells me to give it a bootfull thru the roundabout. So i drop it back into second and give it a punch...coming out the other side of the r'bout the rear right wheel hits some sawdust and quickly i find myself line locking down the street until finally i catch the offside off the road and ive done a complete 180. Now all is well and good until while im spinning i find it is bin collection tomorrow, so all i can see is an incoming gutter and a wheelie bin . So what happens? The rear right wheel (the same one i lost it on the sawdust with) has the hit the gutter on parallels and tot op it off i collected the rubbish bin, and it didnt fall over!!!! But to put a dampener on it all, it ripped the tyre off the rim and bent the rim like there is no tomorrow. BUT! Stock rims! check the boot for a spare and thank god there is one. I pop off the damaged on, replace it with the spare, and off we go. And double thank f#ck there was no rear axle or suspension damage I told him straight out today and he was slightly pissed, but happy there was minimal damage. Freakin' commo's man, such a heavy ass and they handle like a bucket of puss >.< the end.

Sambo33gtst Posted July 20, 2006 Author Share Posted July 20, 2006 Haha, thanks for the advice peoples. I just went and got a second hand rim from the wreckers for $45 and quickfit put a tyre on it for $20...so all i gotta do is give him the rim to throw in the boot and we're sweet. One thing though...commodore ABS = Sh!thouse. Honestly, it did not pull up the car in the time it should have...it was a fairly low speed spin hmmm. *shrugs* and yeh, it was in a housing estate, lots of building going on...so i think a chippy had set up his cutting block on the road >.< Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/126873-bloody-commodores/#findComment-2343184 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous_daveo Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Yeah, could have been a lot worse. Thing is, had you done that in your skyline it could have been just as bad. So please, do not do it again. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/126873-bloody-commodores/#findComment-2344211 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oblivion Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Perhaps take a few turns on a skid pan to get used to the style before tryin it. or keep it on a skid pan.

D-limo Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Hahahha those wheelie bins are freakin tuff... One time we were boxed in by bin in front of KFC on Cavill (illegal parke but meh) And I'm like 'take em out' to my mate driving my dads Honda Legend... So we do, then while we take off slowly theres a crazy bin man chasing us along the side walk wheeling a bin!! So yeah he gets a sneaky ram in before we can escape to regular driving speeds.. We are like meh it was only a wheelie bin.. Get out at our next destination and there is a huge mcf**koff ding in the sill from the wheelie!!! So I go back to Cavill and nock over the 5 or 6 bins he had neatly set up ready for pick up I assume... Take that you unco wheelie man! Prod shoulda tried to sue him... But it was fun to seek rubbish revenge Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/126873-bloody-commodores/#findComment-2344641 Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it was fun to seek rubbish revenge LoL dude as if they are tough. More like the legend was more of a myth! GC bins are the worst I reckon. And Rohan, skidpan training should teach you how to get out of a sticky situation on the off chance your unlucky enough to get in to one, not teach you how to go sideways round a round about.

Sambo33gtst Posted July 21, 2006 Author Share Posted July 21, 2006 lol u dont mean to attack me, its all good man. I understand it can be very easy for some people to judge one's driving skill thru text they see on a forum lol. And last time i checked saws on a building site do tend to throw the dust a fair distance, say for instance if ur setup on the only dry ground on the site just a thought. Yeh it was my mistake but blaming it on poor driving skill is more than likely a fallacy. Just a bad decision made in the heat of the moment id put it down to. Good lesson learnt aswell.
