mizlopi Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 i had a minor crash lol, with a bit of a headache lolme an my mate decided to do a few handbrakes at this turning circle, near me, and it was like black ice underneath, i drove up brakes locked slid for about 10m into a monsterous curb (glad my bumper was ok tho!!I wernt wearing my seatbelt because i wasnt goin fast, but sliding into a big curb at bout 20mph still hurts, it threw me off my seat and i hit my head on top of windscreen lol, was quite funny tbh, because it was so slowjust before:Shidded:hit curbThe damageAnd somehow i shattered the disc, dont even know how the hell i did it because driveshaft was still ok, and in place : Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Russleh Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 your fault but still bad news lol. handbrake turns are a bad idea anyways never mind in the snow. and ALWAYS wear your seatbelt. you might not have been moving fast but doesnt mean noone else is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mizlopi Posted December 19, 2009 Author Share Posted December 19, 2009 not bloody snow its more like bloody stupidity lol no im blaming it on the snow lol what made things even worse i rang the rac to use one of my free recoverys i was put on hold for ages and it used 9 quid, ran out of credit before i could get through, so drove it home Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Gutted A few videos from when January when I first had the GT in the snow Where I go into the bank on the 2nd video I done it once and my mate came down the hill in his EG civic and couldnt stop on sheet ice and went straight into the back of me, wrote his civic write off and there was hardly anything wrong with the starbo just took the paint off the bumper Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raz Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 holly shit dude that sounds and looks terrible, i hit the curb too yesterday wasn't really doing anything stupid at the time, luckily i was only rolling in "D"rive so wasn't even doing 1mph then i turned and it just went into the curb only left mark on the alloy which was unmarked like the rest! Best stop handbraking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No it's not big, no it's not clever, and no it wasn't me!PS - That disc was probably very COLD....and very CAST IRON = very brittle.EDIT - There's rust on the cracked part of the vent on that disc - it's been cracked for ages!!!!
