Of crashing. Yeah it has an airbag - but when I hear a crash on the TV - I am pyshically sick, if I come up a bit quick to another car all I see is the accident. If I am driving and its stressful - like heavy rain or something I can;t breath properly. I never used to be like this - i was confident before

Liz I have been in more accidents than most ( usually as a navigator ) but found that by having confidence in your safety equipment and your self , the fear subsides fairly quick.

With the amount of times I have been in a roll ( bout 25 ) I worked out I am not destined to die in a motor car.

i think we should organize some sorta wet skid pad day

-my friend fully crashed his s15 the other day because he lost traction and panicked,did the wrong thing and braked..and flipped his car

Unfortunately , there is no one in Perth who has a skidpan.

When it rains at the MC track , it's great fun though.

lol @ ken.. after 25 rolls (separate occasions?!) then i'd say you have a correct hypothesis.. :D

Nah , 1 rotation is a roll. Was in a Triumph herald ( shaddup ) rally car that went over 31/2 times and caught fire.

Wrote off my rx7 rally car at a Sth Australia rallysprint with a 31/2 ( including 2 in the air ) .

Targa was 1 or so in 2001.

2 with my dad in a Datsun 1600 rally car

The list goes on...

    • 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.
