+1.

I never thought i'd ever see myself type this - but WTF?

the public highway isn't a playground. a car is a lethal weapon. it's pretty easy to kill or maim yourself, your passengers, and any poor sod who happened to be around at the time. and even if no one gets hurt, you'll end up with a sizeable bill, a potential dangerous driving charge, points, crazy insurance premiums and no job if your work depended on you being able to get around.

sorry to bring this thread down to earth.

if you really want to explore the limits of a vehicle, do a trackday - it's a controlled environment.

I ride 20k a year and see people driving like bellends - and it really gets my goat

It gets on my tits as buys get in car driving like nutter thinking there on NFS and crash which drives up insurance for anyone else.

Wow Ben, I bet she was well impressed at your ace stunt display, did she give you her number . Seriously though, major brain fade going on there fella - just think what would have happened if you'd lost it, crashed into her and then had your parents facing off to her parents in A&E (especially if one or both of you had bought the farm), with only a copper acting as referee. It's not big and it's not clever, but sadly it's one of the things a lot of people don't "get" until they are older and - hopefully - a bit wiser.

Calm down, save the racing (and crashing) for the track.

Getting back on topic I wonder if the bang when the car hit the kerb was the exhaust backbox smacking the underfloor?

Mike they do 4 wheel alignment over the road from where you work if you think it needs it.

Thanks mate, but i got it booked into a guy on tuesday, its gunan get a full service and checked out, and wheels balanced and aligned and breaks and everything. full overhaul just like my s44 needs lol

[matdodd]

Ill do the S44 service for you if you want mate? and Ill charge u less than the Focas will cost you

[ashleyb4]

Still not big and clever dude. Ive lost two good friends in car accidents .One of my old best mates (knew him since i was about 3) was killed early december in a car accident. He was a passenger in a car they where doing 70 in a 30 lost control and hit a tree. Driver survived (JUST) Its just stupidity.

Ben, all I can say is naive and shit driving. You should never end up in that predicament when driving on the road

Some people drive like there on NFS and some people crash! Touch wood im yet to crash and have no points or warnings!

[ashleyb4]

Yea but these things happen when you least expect them only takes a split second. Just because you dont have any points etc doesnt mean your not going to crash. Just take it easy dude and have fun driving.

There was a bang but im not sure if it was just from the tire hitting the kirb or wot, i cant tell cos its dark. the kirb was one of them angled ones, and i cant feel any dent marks on the alloy, but wot else should i look out for or try and listen for to see if ive done any damage. i know i should book it into a garage to get checked but i dont have any time this week.

how the hell did you spin it did you clip the island before spinning and was you doing 80 ffs you gypsey

[wacattack]

Ben, losing control is near as damn it as crashing. Think it's time you grew up mate, racing some "chick" to a round about, you are the man, really showing who's boss. If someone drove like you did, lost control of their car and hit into me, I'd beat them into the ground. If you want to drive fast do a track day, otherwise chill out. I suppose you are just showing your age, and by the sounds of it you don't even have the driving ability to drive at speed, you can't even judge the braking distance in a corsa!
