Is it me or........

[wolfracer]

does there seem to be alot of accidents & repairs to our cars all of a sudden?
At this rate I will own one of the rarest cars in Britain in a year or two - should help with the depreciation!

[ta5mhu]

They must nearly be as rare as the VX220's.... lots of incidents with those too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[the muppet]

Yep, if my old VX220 (Lightning no. 99) is still out there then I'll be staggered....

Erm, no comment as I've just added to the count....

Just doing my bit to keep resale values high!!!

[racebreed]

too many people who can't handle a rear wheel drive

[Fluffsri/cv8]

Yeah, lots of rain, lots of power and rear wheel drive .......askin for trouble really LOL

From your comment, I take it that you're ok. Hows the car? Not too poorly I hope.

[jayrockwell]

Very bad weather = very good chance Monaro's getting rarer!

has it been raining back home? if so, good! Had 2 weeks of glorious sun and I even have tanned arms, neck and face to prove it. Hows the rip shifter working out?

the 'trick' is to drive within you limits

You missed the british summer then!! It was last saturday - everywhere was mildly warm, and then the rains came down!
As for the Rip Shifter, I do not know as the box isn't even in the car yet - We're blaming the Mexicans.....

I've just been catching up on topics and i was thinking there have been a few accidents on here. Slow down in this weather guys or it won't just be the cars that are rare, it'll be members too::

Yep, no injuries, the big old bruiser does crash well.. car is quite poorly, awaiting an insurance assesment to see if it's going to be repairable or not..

Nothing to do with bad weather either!!!

[hsv_sc]

i agree.. big hp rwd + rain + anything other than a straight line = screeech, bang.

[MadMaxHSV]

Especially with the low down torque we're running, only takes a squeeze of the pedal to lose traction with our little rear tyres (damn that lack of design forethought)

[Stigmundfreud]

I see it as deliberately building in fun to the cars, I'm thinking of buying a road side defribulator

[wolfracer]

Has anyone noticed that little switch near the handbrake, I think JC called it the "Poofter button". Trust me, no ones gonna know if you switch it on every once in a while, at least when it's wet!

[Stigmundfreud]

I never turn it off! Smack yer car up and if insurance want to play nasty they could check the freeze frame to see whether it was on or not
