ManwithSupra Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Not me.... Im fine and dandy. But a guy who lives around my area has or should i say had a supra, he was going to sign up as a member soon but i had a call from him on sunday telling me that he had an accident not long ago....this guy was lucky to be alive after this.... As far as he said he was driving and a animal ran out in front of him he swerved at 55mph and lost control of the car (not sure if it was wet he did not say) he then took out a lampost and two small trees and then rolled it on its side, He only just got out of hosiptal recently and this is the first oppertunity for him to call me and tell me of this, apparantly he had some serious injurys. He really is very lucky, He is on the lookout for another Supra TT so i said that i would look for him so if anyone knows of any good ones then PM me and i will send him the info... Pics of his very sadly damaged supra... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multics Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Ouch... Glad he's doing ok though, all the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Holy crap, that's bent! At least he wasn't carrying a passenger, they'd have been toast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbonut Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Very nasty. Glad it's not put him off supra ownership though (although it may have been a different case if he'd had a passenger) just hope he has better luck with the next supe. it could happen to any of us. Best wishes for a full recovery to him. L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc_p Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 pah, gimme 30 mins with my t-cut and dent remover and it'll be good as new. But seriously, yeah it was lucky he didn't have a passenger and good that he's ok, but if he was only doing 55 that does seem like a large amount of damage but than again it all depends on the conditions etc, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hands up here who's confident enough to sit through a 55 mph crash. But seriously, 1500kg at 55 is a lot of energy to deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keancy Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Not good. Good job we drive on the right over here. Glad he is ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously, 1500kg at 55 is a lot of energy to deal with. That's what i mean about the conditions though, if he was sliding he would lose speed and hence hit it at maybe 35-40mph but if the roads were wet, greasy, etc then it would not lose much speed and hence I would agree with what you said.

Ah right. I've been in a couple of sub 15mph bangs and the impact seems huge. A high speed impact must be appalling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Bloody hell. Thats a nasty one. Glad he's ok. I take it there was no passenger (I hope). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Ah right. I've been in a couple of sub 15mph bangs and the impact seems huge. A high speed impact must be appalling. One of my freinds was in the back of a corsa and was killed when it lost control at 80 and hit an oncoming car(vectra) and didn't look as bad as that. But this was due to a s**tty b**tch of a driver who had no f**king remorse for what she had done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolarbag Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Two words for ya Roll Cage! Seriously, in the interests of both driver and passenger safety I'd get one fitted, I've seen too many sups that look exactly like that, Wonder if even the moderate Do-Luck Chasis bar alone, would prevent it going so far in? I'm butchering my Do-Luck up and getting it welded across the RollCage I have in now for extra support(I cant be ar$*d with loads of custom fabrication) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its wierd, I hit a Nissan Navarror at around 50mph in my old celica. The impact didnt feel all that bad but the pic in my garage shows how bad it can be. Maybe at slower speeds you stop more suddenly and gives you that extra jolt. I dont know. I do know though, at any speed its a horrible thing to have happen to you. Edit: Just to clarify, he pulled out infront of me. I dont want people to think im a worse driver than I really am:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
