terribleturner Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Was driving down the road when i met up with a mate and his new J-Spec Integra. We had a little play and then slowed down as we were coming up to traffic on the dual carriage way. I was still doing between 70-80 as i approached a skip truck and a van when the truck pulled out infront of me. I slammed on my barkes but could see that i couldn't scrub enough speed off and things were about to go further. Somehow in a split second i weighed up the damage of hitting him and mounting the grass verge and decided my wheels had to take the pain. Thankfully the kerb is at about a 45 degree angle, so i just drove up putting 2 wheels onto the grass. He then moved out the way and i got her back down and pulled over in the layby. The driver just kept going and didn't even realised that he just pulled out on me. My mate pulled up too and was amazed that i didn't loose the back end. He couldn't belive what he'd seen. I checked over the car and the only mess i had was the grass i mowed into my IC. Damn lucky. And if i see him again there's gonna be hell to pay.

terribleturner Posted July 9, 2005 Author Share Posted July 9, 2005 Yeah cheers Kosmic. All i can say is those J-Spec brakes can still do a damn good job. After reading Whitesupraboy2's post mine didn't feel in the same league. The car goes ninto the bodyshop Monday, but i didn't fancy it going in to repair damage.
