C.S.I Member 651 Member For: 20y 5m 16d Gender: Male Location: Gold Coast Posted 09/06/05 12:33 PM Share Posted 09/06/05 12:33 PM Well, today in the wet, driving down the freeway, gunned the car a bit at about 90 clicks to overtake some slower cars, boost hit, tyres lit, next thing I'm sideways @ 100 kmh, hit another car still sideways, and speared off across 3 lanes of traffic, a small medium strip, across the on ramp, before taking out a light pole and coming to rest. Cars already been written off by the insurance company Did'nt think I was doing anything too dumb, but the backend just let go big time.Also copped a $130 odd fine for 'not being in control of my vehicle' or the like. Not a good day all round for me........ Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/18150-wrote-off-my-t-this-morning/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
