Nate, Can you edit your post, we don't want to be seen to condone any illegal activities.

Thanks.

[Nate]

It was in the past anyway, what does it matter now??!?

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Thanks mate. I know it was in the past, but cops read this site, we don't want to be seen to be trivialising or condoning that sort of behaviour.

Spoken like someone who has never tried to insure a car

Yes i love driving my r32 around uninsured

My Funniest is also my scariest.

Was driving a converted VW beach buggy on the dunes up at lancelin. Doing about 30km/h at the base of the dunes, just after the rocky flat area, and must have hit a rather large rock on the right rear, which im told caused the brake drum to break in half.

I remember the car almost handbraking onto the rock, so i fished it back left so stop it rolling, only to end up with the back wheels on the rock anyway, and there started my 1 and 3/4 roll clockwise.

Came to a rest looking at the ground over my left shoulder, my mate in the passenger seat looking completely confused, and my girlfriend about 20m behind us who hadnt been wearing a seatbelt.

End result, two headaches, one badly bruised elbow and some scratches, all from 30km/h.

Driving a Ford Boredom hire car in Scotland in the winter, I hit some black ice at about 70 mph going into a fast bend on a major, but fortunately empty road. After over-correcting at least twice, with the back end going all over the place, I ended up going backwards along the road, still skidding, at about 40 mph. I remember thinking "Which way do you turn the wheel when skidding backwards?". I eventually came to a rest, embedded boot first in a hedge, just above a big drop into a field. I had never seen black ice before, the tarmac just looked slightly wet. When I got out of the car, it was so slippy that I fell straight on my backside. It was like an ice rink. Shortly afterwards, I got a lift from the local postman back into the nearest town and had a fun time explaining all to the hire company.

Not a problem I am likely to see in WA!

Hmm, ice is really bad news. I've seen footage of mass pileups in the US, even at very low speeds. Zero traction:(

Nearly 5 years ago when i was on my P's thinking i was the greatest driver in the world......

I jumped into my mums Auto EA Falcon which was parked infront of the garage, i 'thought' i had put the car in reverse, looked over my shoulder to reverse out and planted my foot! CRASHHH!!

I drove straight thorugh the garage and farked up the garage door and scratched up the EA all over the front.

Wasnt a bad accident, but i laugh every time i think of it, ohhhh the shame, lol

[GTS-t VSPEC]

At least it was only and EA and nothing valuable:p

[dan_the_man]

yeah at least it wasnt the kingswood

[Darker]

What with all the problems the EAs have, it probably was in reverse and just went forward

funniest accident I have seen/been involved with was as follows....

an ex GF and I went to KFC for lunch on Canning Highway, and she was in a fairly shit mood. greasy food and my charming wit didnt help matters, and when we eventually left, I think it could be said that she was a tad stroppy.

anyway, weleft the parking space and went to reverse across the parking lot into a vacant space opposite at about 50km/h. more unnerving was the fact that the driver was looking forwards while she did it.

I had a moment of consciounce whilst I decided whether to:

A - pull the handbrake and risk a verbal barrage about "you dont trust me, waah blah wahhh!!", or

B - throw caution to the wind and let fate decide what delightful manner of object, if any, we might hit.

I went with fate, and sure enough, we hit something, HARD. I jumped out of the car to see what......

.....next time you're at KFC Canning Highway, have a look along the ends of the parking spaces. you'll notice that the most north-west space has a shorter bay, with some land cribbed away for a pole. at the top of the pole is...you guessed it, the Colonel's Giant Bucket.

So yeah, My ex hit the KFC bucket and rooted the back of her gemini.

bugger me if those things dont shake like a pendulum when they get a good whack. thing bobbed around for about 5 minutes.

she also took out the bowser at a petrol station in a seperate incident.

apparently it happens quite a bit.... :shrug:

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Al, Must be your bad influence:p

[Nizmo]

haha Al had the same kinda thing with my ex ..... everytime I said something about him coming to close to an object etc i got a barrage of "Yeah i see it errr dont you trust my driving etc"

So we were coming back from Manjimup in a work WRX one day ....also pulling out of KFC and there was this van in front of us .... and he was getting to close to the back of this van and i was deciding whether to say something or not and i thought "phuck it everytime i do he makes me feel stupid" soooo he went straight into the back of the van ........ crumbled the bonnet so it would no longer latch!!! We found some wire and tied the bonnet down for the trip back as best as we could but everytime a truck zoomed past the other way you were kinda on the edge of your seat ..... is the bonnet going to fly up is it going to hold? as soon as we got back we had to take it to a dodgy panel beater to get it fixed asap to go back into the dealership .... it was a bodgy job - the boss noticed but didnt know who to pin the blame on.

[zanda]

must be something about KFC - greasy fingers... :confused:

[caminperth]

MMMM.. KFC grease..

[Guest ReaLiTy]

All i have to say ... In my younger days I drove a VL ... and smashed into a cop car, while it was chasing someone. Wrote off the cop car. Fixed mine, flogged it off and bought my skyline... Happy ending..

2 mates sitting next to me.

me thinking im the next rally driver champion.

gravel tracks in the hill down the road from byford.

side ways action round corners.

then on this one really good corner i did a wikid drift, side ways the whole way arround the corner, but kept going sidewards, completely sidewards, then i was going backwards. then the car was laying on its side. mates n i stuck sitting there with seat belts holding us in place. we eventually got out. thought shit eh. walk to servo. got tow truck. pulled back on wheels drove home. REALLY slowly.

next time about 3-4 year later. driving north west highway at about 160 in corrolla. decided to pull into parking bay, didnt really slow down ennuff, another 180 before side swipping a yellow bin. oppsss

the worst thing about that land cruiser accident, my folks made me fix and pay for all the damage myself.

it was still a fun drive.
