Orange Skyline

[Tarmac-]

I came across this guy yesterday. I think some of you guys have seen this car at JRacing. He swapped his WRX for it on friday. Said he wanted something more fun. Had it for a day, than yesterday he was about 300 metres from his house, went to turn right onto a street and lost control, hit the gutter really hard. Destroyed most of his right hand rear and front suspension not to mention the bodykit and the 19" chromies. I was driving past about two minutes after it happened and the car was still hanging off the gutter. Fortunately the guy and his girlfriend weren't hurt at all just shaken up. We managed to get it off the gutter without causing more damage but than as the spare was rubbing on something sharp it went flat as well so the the car was back on it's belly. I couldn't stay any longer so I wasn't there when the tow truck arrived but I'd hate to think what alse got damaged just getting it on and off the truck. The thing that got me the most was that not one car even slowed down and this happened on a busy street, to check if the poor guy was ok.

Probably because everyone was looking at him as a hoon who got his just desserts.

From the pics provided, there is no sign of the road being slippery - you said yourself that the car has been freshly put together (i'd assume with decent tyres). It simply looks like someone gave it the boot down onto a high traffic road and is now paying the price.

So how did he end up almost wrecking the car?

Its harsh to say he deserves it, going from AWD grip to RWD would be a bit of a step but id think youd take it slowly and NOT WITH YOUR GF IN THE CAR IN YOUR OWN STREET!!!!

what a clown. hope its written off and he learns from it.

shouldnt be doing shit like that in a built up street, saying that I cant see any black marks on the road... Full story needed before I call it.

I am no angel but tend to pick more appropriate areas.

On a track, yes.

On dirt out in the sticks, yes.

Driving it out of an intersection - You're a f**king idiot.

I have no qualms with people giving their car some stick, just as snooze said - pick a semi-appropriate place, a busy road isn't one of them.

saying that I cant see any black marks on the road

My Sport Maxx's don't leave lines - well don't appear too. I would assume they might if you smoked them.

ouch that looks bad, but all i gotta say how do u lose it on a road like that, aww well wrx owner + skyline = one hurt skyline

[Frink]

nasty.... he needs to learn the whole oversteer thing. go to a skid pan before you try it anywhere else....

[loymclure]

Let he who has never sinned cast the first stone.

We all learn from our lessons some a little harder then others.....

dont judge just appreciate that noone was hurt and that it wasn't your car.

Nice looking car, thought it was going to be style32s car when i first saw the thread :X . Hopefully this guy learns from his mistake. Best thing i ever did was crash, before that i was pretty much a retard at the wheel (when i was getting my tattoo done in batemans bay i was doing the trip in a bit over an hour in my old accent and once overtook a 10 car line of cars behind a truck down the clyde mountain...) but crashing showed me that im not invincible and now i always think twice and am too much of a pansy to want to try anything remotely dangerous in a car, just glad i didnt directly (actews fault for not securing the pole after an hour of staring, not mine) hurt anyone before that.

Hi Mike, that was me who pulled over. You're welcome. Have you got the car checked by a workshop to see how much damage there is?

Definately a shame, was a very nice car but im sure the damage could be repaired its all just a matter of how much $$ as said above at least no1 got hurt.
