That sux Tom, sorry to hear about it


KP: go join the Police, or mind your own damn business.

May I play the stern mother though & politely ask roughly what speed were you doing dude? I have gone around that very corner, from that very lane millions of times when I had my white Legnum (I was working in Talavera Rd) in the shittiest of conditions & never once did I come close to losing it?
(I'm not trying to say you're at fault, just wondering what the speed was in order to lose traction so severely).

I know i said it on the phone man but ill say it again, so glad you're ok, and its a sh*t run of luck to have that happen mate. Such a shame.

Damn, two VR-4s down in as many weeks. I guess we should all take notice of this and be extra careful out on the roads.

Oh no Tom!

I did exact the same thing to my first ride... a Seat Toledo! I didn't hit a concrete wall, I hit an ice wall that was left from the winter! I made it 300mm into it (y)

Hope that brings a lil smile back in your face!

Just bought the missus a 2005 VW Polo, so if you want to swap your wreck with a Chrysler Neon (Prowler Special edt with rear spoiler and 17"chrome rims!!!!!!) let me know. :lol:

Glad you're ok!

My heart just sank for you dude.
Definately was my favourite car on here! Inspired so many ideas to me.

Main thing though is that YOU are ok!
Don't lose your love for the Vr4s, I know it will be a while for you to get over this but hang in there bro!

Hope you'll still stick around the forums!

LOL dude Chrysler Neon? :p


Guys I don't plan on buying the wreck back, I have no where to put it, I have no intentions of stripping it down for bits and pieces so if somebody else wants to then go for it! It'll be too much more heartache having it here and pulling it a part.. It'd just be like ripping a part someone I care for for a lung or kidney to sell to somebody, not for me thanks :p haha..


Anyway, I wasn't going that fast as I was only coming from the traffic lights.. There was a volvo 4wd thing smashing it out of there and around that corner, the cop that was sitting behind was actually originally following him, not me! Just bad placement of something, I dunno, it gets bumpy there, had been pissing down for days, maybe there was a slick.. I don't know what did it, but whatever it was, I was 4 wheel understeering and I copped it when trying to correct it!

I'll stick around the forums, I love this place.. All other forums I've been on have been full of power hungry people, too much politics, and too dramatic.. This place is fun and friendly!

I won't be in another VR4 for a while, I'm going to sort out my loan and get something cheaper to live with for a while.. I want to make the most of this situation in a positive note, if I can, and sort out my finances.. Maybe get something bigger on the way like a property or whatever..

Good cos I'd hate to see you leave! Great decision making by the way. You can always get a vr4 in the future.
Once again man my heart is out there for you. Hope the fam~ didn't get a big fright.

I considered a 3gen Liberty RX.. also looking at a nice Civic VTI-R (2 door coupe), Toyota Soarer (both twin and v8) or if I want to go real low budget a N14 SSS (I wanted one as my first car but didn't get one lol)

interesting to see how the cf bonnet was affected by the crash. they usually flex and go back to the original shape.

How about a 6G VR4 Tom ??? Might be right up your alley. Can get them pretty well priced for lots of bang...

I want something completely different..

I don't want a Lancer because I want an EVO.. If I go for a Commodore it'd be V8.. My dad owned a HJ, and as much as I like the 6G Galant it'd be like above, I want a Series 2 8G instead! It just wouldn't make me as happy as having the actual model I want! So something completely different until I can get the actual models I want..

But it'll be a while before I get a new VR4 as it just won't feel the same :(
