j1mb0b1 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 drove past a yellow supra all smash up in a field in aston (sheffield) on fence hill other day, Had a strange rear hatch setup looked like a MR2 rear end but was 100% a supra. Anyone from the forum ? It looked nasty hope every one was ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilkorangerover Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 yes i do know this one ( one of my close friends ) , jim he has been on your meets before, he hit a massive pot hole and it basically threw him of the road, he was close to tears as he loved that car and used it everyday. Ash was lucky to be ok but very sad , and its not as if you can just go out and buy a vvti 6 speed in yellow with a vs fortune rear end 12k s worth gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 he hit a massive pot hole and it basically threw him of the road, never heard that one before - these cars are fragile. Hope his insurance pays out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 oh dear! Hope hes ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 never heard that one before - these cars are fragile. Hope his insurance pays out. Pot holes are really bad round mine, one of my mates hit one in his new ST just before he pulled into the petrol station and managed to pop the tire off and bend the rim, although it was quite funny that Ford just supply them with a can of tire weld and no spare, suffice to say, it didn't work:d I just drive to work swerving all over the road for potholes, I like the way that the government blames it on the winter though, if the roads were made well in the first place it wouldn't be anywhere near as bad.

Just another sign that this country can't cope with a bit of (what they consider) "extreme" cold - the whole country grinds to a stop and we are still now paying for what other European country's would consider "a light dusting" of snow! I'm waiting for the Fuzz to stop me and have me breathalysed as I pinball around the road trying to find a good bit, my mileage to work has probably doubled!!

Ric Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 After living in aston all my life and driving most of its roads every day, i cant say ive seen a massive pothole on the duel carrageway (surely he would have had to be doing DCW speeds for that to happen?) Edit, fence hill is a 30mph road (with no massive potholes afaik and a school..), with a wicked bend at the bottom after a roundabout, im guessing he entered the roundabout too quickly and lost it on the bend after.

scotty71 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Another Supe gone by the mysteriuos diesel , ice, and now the pothole:d reminds me of the thread I did one month back on the 30-40mph crashes that keep occuring.. or maybe not. Where on the map did the Supra crash?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Unless that pothole was already reported to the local council, he'll not have any hope of making a claim against them. I suppose if you hit one hard and one wheel collapsed or the suspension broke it could spit you off catastrophically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit, fence hill is a 30mph road (with no massive potholes afaik and a school..), with a wicked bend at the bottom after a roundabout, im guessing he entered the roundabout too quickly and lost it on the bend after. True I drive up and down there quite a lot and have never spotted a pothole big enough to send a car off the road at 30mph. It would have had to be a ditch I think maybe speed is involved, As he had come off the road quite a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilkorangerover Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 The first thing i thought was speeding but luckly for ash there was a traffic copper parked up who saw the accident and he said speeding wasnt the issue but i wasnt there so obv i can't comment. The yellow supra cannot be replaced unfortunate for ash but i ll keep this post updated. Maybe a single turbo on the way for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
