imi Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Hope you pursue with getting the car fixed - and fingers crossed the chassis and roof are straight and it's only cosmetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrboomberang Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I $#@!ed up. Basically lacked consideration for the road conditions, too fast off the roundabout, lost traction clipped curb and spun. It's okay though, I took the lamppost out To say i'm devastated is a whopping understatement, not only after spending countless hours cleaning the car for the show...But for the sentimental value I have in the car. I've had alot of interest in parts but that's the very last option for me. I will be doing everything I can to replace and repair whats needed to get back on the road again, money is tight but ultimately I know it's worth it. Absolutely any help would be greatly appreciated, advice, opinions, recommendations, access to the vast knowledge you all have. Or you can call me a cock...haha I made a stupid mistake, i'm going to fix it. I'm just glad nobody else was involved and that my wife and myself are fine. We all make mistakes the problem is the supra doesn't hang about in teaching you your lesson when I lost control of mine and caused a bit of light damage I was deviated the last thing I needed was the wife shouting at me when I came home hope you get her back on the road bud.

Tomyspeedy Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I hope people watch this and see just how easily it can happen. I'm glad it was recorded because if it makes just one person think twice before driving fast in the wet then it could save someone's life.

Sheefa Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Yep. One of my friends just sent me a link to it ! What an absolute pr!ck for not stopping to check you were OK though. You did give it the means mate out of that bend ! Far too soon in those conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rock on Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Nice of the driver of the camera car to stop before it, to check if the occupants were OK or needed assistance & to warn other vehicles there was debris on the road incase someone skidded on that.

Scooter Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 looking at that if the front hadn't dug in and rotated you round as much as it did, it could have been a very nasty side on into that post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evinX Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 That driver didnt stop fuming. People will rather record something like that and think about putting it viral that helping someone who may be in need. Speechless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammer Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Easy done, harsh lesson and a shame to see that, hope it's repairable. Glad your both OK that's the main thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus GTE Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Well done for taking it on the chin Can I ask just out of interest if the traction control was off? It's surprising how fast it whipped round. I'm sure there was a video a few years ago of another black supra spinning like that in the wet too. Almost the exact same crash except that time he hit a barrier or a wall iirc. I thought at the time that car couldn't have a limited slip diff fitted and that's maybe why it spun so violently, but I know that the UK spec will have had one so it just shows you how easy it can happen.
