Drivin to the To melb 4 the melb cordia cruz a ram ran out in front of me and I dodged to the left..missed the ram then tried to straighten up...the back went out then I overcorrected to the left...Then I ended up spinning the car, Doing 90kmh in reverse of the highway , smoke bellowing everywhere then down a 1.5 meter embankment.

The Car recieved 1 minor scratch and I missed (went between) two big redgum reflector post's and missed a group of bluegums

I Never shit my pants so much in my life

I now Officially believe there is a god, thanking youu! Hail yeee. Im officially the luckest dude I know.

yeah I was a lucky chap!

I was in a hurry when I wrote this thread up, But yeh I went left to avoid a headon with the Ram(male sheep with horns ...locksmith lol)

Then Turned back onto the road, But I had pushed it to far then Left again to straighten up...But it was too late the car was driftin sideways already

There was some really helpfull guy's who Pulled over and made sure I could get out.. But i went on to drive another 300kms to melb and, jeebus I still cant believe it ..


The boot didnt come open, I had to get my Digital camera outta the back

fudging hell. I didnt know about it until steve told me at maccas after you left. I woulda given you a hug or something! Go buy a lottery ticket man.

Cheers,
Nick

haha no stress nick! I woulda liked a hug man...Comon where were you!

But Scott, thanks For Savin me in ballarat with the Loose wheel!

40Mins from where I had my accident. Driving through the mainy in ballarat I started getting this wierd thud thud thud,kinda like i'd thrown a wheelbearing or my driveshaft wasn't Bedding in correctly
...I suspected running of the road and all was the cause, "Whyelse"

So I called Wyda(scott) up and I went round to his and we foud it was infactually my wheel about to fall off because the fucktards that put my wheels on Didnt use spacers So the mounting surface was insufficient and the nuts very slowly backed themselves out


This pic show's the height of the embankment a little better

yeah i live in bris. the last time i saw a ram on the road (or at all for that matter)..
..and i don't know how to end that sentence but u know what i mean.
