    End Of a Dream

    Nope I headed backwards into a telegraph pole(good call homer)after that I hit a wall and gates to the landowners house thats what pushed me back into the middle of the road. As I say I was lucky I could of hit a car head on, the avoidance led to the loss of cotrol. The first thing it hit was the telegraph pole hence the roof damage. I am gald I went into it backwards tbh.

    Nic pretty sure that it was the second turbo that led to the damage below. I only had my phone with me so quality of the images is poor. Thanks for everyones support.

    End Of a Dream

    Its a mess the back of the car hit a telegraph pole and dry stone wall/gates (Genuine appologies to the owner of the property just didnt want to hit oncoming traffic). Roof line is creased all windows have gone apart from door windows. Air bags have deployed, drivers side seat broke. It sits on the chasis now not its wheels. Only fit for braking of that I am sure. I have some pictures on my mobile if I can get them onto my home pc I will submit them.

    End Of a Dream

    TBH it is a bit hazy as to what happened due to the impact. I had just come round a left hand bend into a much gentler right hand bend that leads into a straight. Coming out of the gentle right hand bend into the straight I accelerated (not to kickdown) and the back end stepped out it left the car pointing about 20degrees into oncoming traffic. The fast correction needed to avoid oncoming traffic led to me spinning the car. No problems with the tyres pirrelli p6000 about half way through their life. I just hope through me swallowing my pride it can serve as a timely reminder to all that the car is not to be underestimated. I was aware that I am no race driver and thankfully the loss of control happened at about 55mph in a national speed limit. I hit a wall and a telegraph pole and consider myself lucky. Police were quickly in attendace and no action taken. I loved my supra and had wanted to own one from their launch. My split with my ex had left me in a position to buy a UK car. I spent hours polishing her last weekend. She was in amazing condition and was due to go into Chris Wilson for a full service also the suspension was ready to be customeised by the guru himself. If your reading Chris I appologise for any incovenience caused. Just be carefull and enjoy them. Other than that dont go for a hair cut whilst its raining!! Safe motoring everyone

    Its termial thats for sure. Insured through the clubs recomendation sky will need to spreak to them on monday.
  8. Just a quick reminder greasy roads are dangerous especially if your an inexperienced supra driver. I have managed to write my supra off today after four and a half months of ownership. I am thankfull that no one else was injured. It happened on a road I was very familiar with a road I had driven on well over a 1000 times. Just minutes from my parental home. Need to take stock of what to do. Thanks to the owner of the UK silver manual that passed me minutes after the accident I thought about putting out a shout to you on spotted but not really appropriate.

    Free Heater

    Gutted I am gonna freeze this winter as the order code is no longer recognised. I love free stuff too.
  11. I miss it so much. Overtaking bring it back, please.
  12. Yes Ant its me. Thanks for stopping and chatting.
  13. im sorry but the first car i drove after passing my test was a volvo 340 dl and alls that i can say is its the worst car i have ever driven by a large margin. It didnt have an acelerator but a volume pedal. It got louder the harder you pressed it. The steering wheel didnt have a direct connection to the front wheels I dont think. It was my mums car, I have just bought my first soop (cant stop looking at it/driving it) and I have insured my mum on it just so she can drive a proper car (thing is she is too scared to drive it). Enjoy your volvo. At least you can save for your next automotive wonder.
  14. Me too. But I have a great excuse. One more sleep and I will pick up my first MKiv supra. Didnt get much done in work. I think everyone is sick of me tellin them. Its now the weekend . Im like a six year old kid at christmas.
  15. I used to cycle still got an MTB in garage sees the light of day less than the lawnmower. (I have a nature reserve not a lawn). Must start again but im 3 stone heavier than when I last raced and I only stopped racing cos I was overweight!!!!!!! You have done the hardest thing already = starting again. Dont stop now, you have just inspire me. I'll keep you posted. However pick up my UK tt on sat so maybe next week (always something that gets in the way). Well done monkey keep it going remember your only mad if you stop.
  16. I am pleased for chelsea. Spoke to a few of the brave Chelsea fans that stayed in liverpool for the party after the semi, they cant believe how lucky they are that the club has so much money. Just wished Liverpool had that sort of money no object chairman, it makes it easier! Must say that I am suprised that the gunners fell away so much this season.
  17. White dog pooh. Now that takes me back. I need to know what the hell happened to white dog pooh!!
  18. Chelsea bought the title. However that does not make them worthy champs. Congratulations its been a long wait for you all. I am a liverpool fan I can happily say that It was an hounour watching Chelsea get beat in the semi. Liverpool are just 90 minutes away from the biggest prize in club football. Come on you red men.
  19. mcanny how do you find the auto box on the track?
  20. I am looking forward to picking my Uk auto on saturday, my mate is taking the mick as i have previously said I would never have an auto!!! I test drove it and I was impressed. Only time will tell If I have made correct decision. I would love to here off anyone who previously thought they would never have an auto box and ended up with a auto tt. I am looking forward to driving it without a neverous salesman sat next to me and unleashing everything it has!!! Roll on saturday, I hope its dry!!! :-)
