Don't you mean you were hit by a wallaby?!? Aggressive little buggers... And what about those birds that come out of nowhere and fly across the front of your radiator while you're doing 80km/h!!?! Passive aggressive fauna shits me. Just because they can't drive they have to ruin in for everyone. Eco emo's... :shock:
Cheers,

*sigh

new section claimed a 33gtst (think it was gtst sure Cass will correct me if Im wrong)
End of old pac, there is a detour through Somesby industrial area and a slightly steep left hander with a bit of a bump. Seems too much speed, too much oversteer, possibly lock up and gone straight through the corner, over the gutter, missed a 1.5m metal pole and the telegraph pole by about 30-40cm. Air bag deployed, rims ruined, steerng dead, would assume the same with suspension.

SOOOO drive within your limits. Old pac isnt a dangerous road, unless you are pushing too hard.

Yeah, was a R33 GTS-t. Series 1.5 gunmetal grey one. Clean engine bay and stock SMIC, so I guess the owner had only recently bought it.

I think he might be right for most of his suspension. He will need as a minimum a driver's side tie rod end and some new rims. All in all his excursion will be cheaper than mine was last year. :lol:
