Not good.

*Click* I think i just realised how this happened.

[Nizman]

I'm the individual responsible for destroying Boxhead's R32.

Im sure most of you are expecting the story to relate to dangerous driving and speed. But both Michael & I know I wasn't speeding and it was just an accident.

So what happened??? as we approached the corner I braked and released. Then midway through the rear was upset and broke free, I counter steered as best I could but we slid sideways into a white refelective marker post and then into a cane field drain, the car started rolling and came to rest on its roof.

As far as injuries go, both Mic and I got ourselves out of the wreck and walked away. I must say today Im feeling it, for those who don't know I'm a big boy over 6ft tall and as you can see from the pictures there aint much headroom left. The fact that we rolled twice and neither of us even required stitches should give some idea of how we werent speeding. (of course if the drain hadn't been there we would have spun off into a dirt field and driven home)

So I now owe Micheals mum a sum of money, which it took a while to sink in but I now realise how lucky I was not to owe her a son.

To finish of the night I get fined for Neglegent driving, $180 and 3 points. I must say I've know friends in single car accidents in QLD and they havent been fined, I didn't cause damage to anything apart from Mic, Myself and his car. I dont get that?

So ends the post I had hoped to never have to write

2 new photos of car up the right way. As you can see, the front wheels are locked at full counter steer.

also, in regards to the roof height, i was sitting in pass seat trying to remove stereo today and coulnt sit up straight cos my head was on the roof.

yes... i would like to ad now that karl has said his peice.. that it was a culmination of things not in our favor that added up to what happened, happening, to be honest, i dont think anything else could of happened to us... thanks karl for doing what you did to try and come out of it... you did your best. and thats all that can be asked...

also, insurance shjouldnt be a problem for me, but it might be for mum, never had a claim till i got this car, 2 claims in about 2 and a bit months lol...

also i saw the car today in smash repairs joint, sadly car has gone to skyline heaven.. but i think that karl having such a strong head saved him coz lookin at it i had to move seat back a bit to fit... im glad were both ok. the car is replacable to some means... human lives are not...

Michael

ps, thanks for all your thoughst etc, and thanks to dave, and another friend who have been helpin me drive here there etc...

Lucky you weren't speeding. Must be quite a history of rolled cars there. Was the road wet or something?

God damn... forget the car, you guys are lucky as hell... I had an accident a few weeks back and i know how shaken up you get. Shame about the car after the work...

Glad to see you came out ok... Like you said box, cars mean nothing compared to your lives...

[BiteMe]

Was he expensive ???

I do not mind travelling if I can find someone who will do a good job. I have had friends who have had bad experiences with paint jobs

So what R32 you looking for next. Do not listen to dAVE and go for a R33

[002 NVS]

I didn't realise you had it painted...

Do you have any pics of it b4 the crash...
