If You Ever Needed A Good Reason To Get Full-comp...


Recommended Posts

Yeah, the guy in the echo did a right turn infront of us without checking to see if all lanes were clear. He drove into the front right of the BM which then put us onto a collision course with a power pole.

thats very strange....wonder if the kid is still alive or if his parents have killed him......

airbags didnt go off. wernt going fast enough... Insurance company will be doing all the 'cleaning'.. I have no sympathy for anyone his situation. If you are stupid enough to see the stakes are so high just to drive around then when you lose out you can deal with it. I took that same route in the DB9 a few weeks back... Imagine if he hit that.

thats not a pretty sight. yeah that particular section sees alot of accidents. ive had my fair share of close calls there.

the kid probably wanted to play some lan games..lol i dont think he will be playing or walking for a while when his parents have their way with his arse.

surprised the kid didnt do a runner..lol.

insurance is good.

  • 2 weeks later...

geez ouch... glad you guys are okay, had you been going quicker it could have been really bad... nice to have 1.5 tonnes of german engineered metal around you when sh!t like that happens... riding a motorbike FTL!

and what happened to teh mad dutton driving skillz... you should have yanked the handbrake and drifted around the pole;)

LOL @ the bimmer with kit pic

stupid unlicensed drivers....

hitting an E39 is bad enough (come near my M5 and all hell would have broken loose), but it could have been a LOT worse... could have been a P1 lambo or something. His life would have been financially ruined. He'll still be paying off the insurance company for years..

Now come on... what do you have knockoff E60 M5 wheels on the E39 for? :worship: If anything put a set of E39 M5 wheels on.... but make sure they are original :excl:

    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
    • lights are on just the one click.  
    • Absolutely matters because, while a temperature change will eventually reach a sensor at the end of a static line, the response time is far far far too slow to be useful. Might as well not have a temp gauge at all.
