check out the pics and you will know why i'm upset
so here's the story... for the last 2 years, me and a mate have been working on a 13b turbo ae86 and on monday, the car was complete.... even got engineered and registered.... the week was spent tweaking things here and there and giving it a clean....
today, as i took a day off to work on it abit before taking it to the cruise tonight, i had lunch in fairfield with my mate....
afterwards, we headed to pick up my v160 to drop it off at a workshop doing some stuff to it.... anyhow, some of you may be familiar with the horsely drive railway overbridge at fairfield where maccas is....
so it's lunch time... and i turned right onto the horsely drive heading to villawood... and i noticed opposite traffic was all banked up right back to the bridge... so i go along on my way at a decent 65kmh when suddenly, this truck full turns in front of me... he was apparently turning right from the west bound side going into the tip top factory.... now if you know this bend in the road just before fairfield high school, you'd know it is quite a blind bend.... so anyhow, with no warning, there's this huge truck in front of me....
so i slam the brakes (upgraded vl turbo calipers with slotted and cross drilled ford rotors) and downshift to try and take off some speed.... but 15m isn't enough room is it now? so i merge right hoping he speeds up the driveway and i can pass behind him without incident, instead he slows down to go up the driveway..... so i brace myself, my mate pushes himself into his seat to brace himself and we hope to dear God we make it through ok....
when i open my eyes, my chest is hurting like hell (thank you momo steering wheel) and my legs are all aching and feel wobbly.....i check my friend is ok and he is, so we stumble out of the wreck to take a look at the damage... and boy was there damage....
so anyhow, im swearing and shit cause im all upset about having the car on the road for 4 days before it's gone.....
all these people from the tip top gatehouse come rushing to make sure we're ok... (how nice of them after nearly killing us).... and then the ambo's come in like 2 mins... the cops took nearly 10mins even though they're one street away.
The cops took our statement and came to the conclusion that it was the truckies fault (didnt make me feel any better because my car was still dead)... so anyhow, my mate is all messed up, so he went to hospital and i stayed back to make sure some towy didnt take the car away and i dont see it for days and when i do some habibs have stripped it.....
so anyhow, i reckon the universe just decided that a 13b turbo sprinter just doesn't seem right in the scheme of things.
Fuck the universe.... one day, another one will take it's place.... for now, ill wait for the payout battle to decide if they're gonna give me my full payout or just market value.....
at least now i can concentrate on my supra v8 turbo project.....
