Guest whele Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 I saw a very sad sight this morning, 09:20 Stadhampton in Oxfrodshire, very nice brown/bronze supra with wheels and skirt kit. Why is that sad you are asking……it had just spun off the road and in the process of being recovered. The O/S rear wheel had snapped off completely and the N/S tyre was off the rim, both presumable the result of the kerbs and grass bank interface. It appeared to have lots of lower body damage. I looked for the driver but couldn’t see him/her around the car. I hope they were OK, I didn’t see any ambulance at the scene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Never nice to see a crashed car, especially a Supe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
how_supra Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 God - hope the driver is okay. Cars can be replaced/repaired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

how_supra Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 I can't think of anyone on here with a car that colour though - not in Oxfordshire. Lets hope the driver is on here and can report that he is safe and well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbourner Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Can we just stop saying "As long as the driver is OK, cars can be fixed!", I'd rather be in hospital for 4 months and come out to a perfectly gleaming car than be completely unhurt but have a smashed up supe on my hands for the next 6 months!! Humans heal naturally cars don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazarus Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Humans heal naturally cars don't. Unless your dead, or permanent brain damage, or paralysed from the neck down, in which case owning a Supra thats in pristine condition is small compensation. But I know what your saying, I wouldn't want to lose mine either (Supra that is...). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I know what your saying, I wouldn't want to lose mine either (Supra that is...). Yeah and I've said before the nasty accidents are worthy of a word or two about 'hoping you're OK'. But there are the '160mph into a wall with no seatbelt on' crashes, and the '30mph spin round a roundabout and hit a bollard' crashes, I'm betting 99.9% of the ones mentioned on this forum are more akin to the latter than than the former. And I'm not saying anything nasty, of course I hope people are OK after an accident, but saying "the car can be repaired at least you're unhurt" seems a bit stupid at times, unless the car rolled or was obviously REALLY badly damaged, then I'd rather be told my car is easily fixable than that I'm not hurt that badly!!
