Hehe dont like to laugh at your mis-fortune but god damn thats funny...mainly due to commentry..... who was driving with Joe?

I didnt realise that happened in Armadale.....thats corner is like 1min away from my house...cool :) Also its Albany Highway not Armadale road like you say in the video (yeah i know no one likes a smartass)

Ben

@#$%^&*(!!!!!!!:flamed:

Hehe yeh bad case indeed, if ure sitting at the lights the corner looks more cornery and not so straight if u catch my meaning. I was thinkin it was a long swweping corner then alluva sudden im sideways on a straight road:eek: hmm mostly bad drivin though:lol:

hehe yeah... i was just winding you up man. actually that corner has a few bumps in it too. that wouldnt have helped.

anyways i dont exactly have a clean track record when it comes to 180ing it off the road on a cruise :) (read mandurah cruise) lucky for me all i hit was a heap of grass.

Yeh Ken thats y I got the full comp:D  Nahh seriously i wnated to let it go savage at MC hey i gotta learn somehow it might as well be somewhere im not gonna hurt any1 or the car. Plus i do not accept blame for the first incident that was total BS coulda happend to any1. The one u see here though ahh... yeh well cant blame any1 for that now can i :) At least after those 2 i never drive like a nutter on the road (used to cain it like a man possesed) i have gained a measure of 'self control' too bad that doesnt extend to "car control" :)

If anything it tells me im not as l337 as i thought. I apologise for not being as l337 as you Ken :(  Im sure u had ure share if run ins in ure time.:) *ahem*GTR*cough*targa*splutter*write off:)

1337 Huh !! whats that.

My share, f**cken oath. I trashed a few in the early days , but always in competition , not on the road.

Have destroyed a Datto(1600)

Murdered a Mazda ( RX7 )

and heaven forbid

Screwed a Skyline ( GTR )

but I'm getting better at it . Driving , not crashing , that is

;)

i cant afford the insurance on my car so have 3rd party fire n theft from Suncorp Meway. costs me $252 a year, and in the event of an accident it covers everything (car and property) except for my own car. i personally think thats the way to go if you are unable to pay $2000 a year or more for insurance.

once im 21 im gunah try again, ive never had an accident so hopefully in 2 years time ill get a decent quote on insurance....

hey adam, im chasing insurance quotes at the moment, called Suncorp up, they said they dont do any under 21's. How is this so, is your insured under parents name without u being nominated as a driver?

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
