cashpoint Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 ....but how many soops have had accidents this winter as from this board i don't remember any in the last 4-5 months. While 3 GTR (all i think were R32's) have ended up in ditches from what i've read on the GTR forum and 4 GTIR's went to the big insurance scrape yard in the sky?

attilauk Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 a good mate of mine wrote his off last week! A Badger ran out in front of him, ripped his front bumper off and span him into the path of an oncoming car. Both he and his passenger had to be cut out of the car and his passenger has only just been released from hospital. he is on here as iS_nEaR but doesn't post much. the car was a metalic bronze Aerotop N/A with a Veilside C1 front bumper, skirts & spats.

The Hornet Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Sorry to hear about this accident. Just proves that you can drive according to road conditions to be safe, but you can't avoid this type of thing We need specially made bull bars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Peace Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Soz to hear about his accident sounds pretty major....glad both in car were ok...thats the main thing I spose. I had a deer run out in front of me 18 or so months ago in Somerset, it was dark i was doing 50 in a country B road didn't know i'd hit it, till i hit it...and was given a rare treat of animal anotomy displayed on my windscreen more gruesome than the bodyworks exibition (though I have to say I have never been to that and wouldn't either...even though ya could fit in a Brick Lane Indian meal on the same evening ) This is the thing...you can be the safest, most advanced, or experienced driver in the world...but unless you are David Attenburgh you cant predict whats going to come flying out the hedgerow. I think Deers are a real hazzard especially...as much as I love animals these animals are the size of horses often but are so unpredictable...if ya hit one at a reasonable speed it can kill you.... When i see a sign with a Deer on it....i do take notice now lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary badgers are a danger to Supes one caused Suprz Rz (Rich) to restyle his supe only a few months ago. Why didn't they just release the aero top would have saved all that cutting ?

Why didn't they just release the aero top would have saved all that cutting ? because they couldn't open the door to get at the aerotop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian R Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 What they couldn't open both doors ? That car must be one hell of a state. Always saddens me when they go this way. He hadn't had it very long had he 6 months ish I think (first winter catches quite a few people out) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attilauk Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 he had owned the car for about 9 months i think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hadn't had it very long had he 6 months ish I think (first winter catches quite a few people out) I agree...different kind of accident though...the only advice that may help to save anyone in this instant is that My Brov always taught me to drive by looking at least 150 foot in front of the car instead of down the nose, that way if something runs out you wont notice it... If you notice it...you will swerve wether you want to or not in most cases...anyone who says they dont is lying...it happens too quick for the brain to make the correct decision... If you dont notice it or its up ahead you either wont notice it and it will become a Pancake...... or you will have enough time to make the RIGHT decision...by running it over...which is sad I know as i am an animal lover.... but better scenario i guess than several dead people and one Laughing Rabbit or Badger.

dangerous brain Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 Musta slapped that oncoming car quite hard then as usually speaking most people walk out of a crash in a supra relatively unharmed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
