It seems like all good cars seem to come to an end this year. Helmann with his beast, and bigworm with his, and another mate of mine just crashed his supra....now i have joined the pack. 
I was travelling home from my GF's place last night in the rain, and unusually i wasn't trying to drift everywhere. I was cruising down the cunningham HWY at about 90KM/H in a 100 zone around a corner(which i know i can safely do at speed in the dry) and there was a great big F'N puddle of water in my way!!! It was too late to swerve so i just went through it. I came out ok, until i tried to straighten up(slowly) and the ass end flew out from under me. Fellow RA28 owners would know that these cars are not fun trying to hold in the wet. After a couple of seconds trying to regain control and almost plowing head 1st into the centre cement divider(the big type) i managed to spin it around just quick enough not to get any front end damage(bar one bent rim) and copped a smack up the ass. The rear end is pretty badly damaged, tail-lights on the left hand side are about 5inch's indented into the car. Bumber is completely stuffed and also the left rear quater panel. Theres no structual damage, i drove it for another 30min to get home, and all i could notice was the steering, due to the right hand wheel being screwed.
I gotta go off to work now, but i shall get pics up 2night and a more detailed description of what happened. Just thought i'd share my agony with you all.
So if anyones interested in a slightly(haha) damaged RA28 gimme a yell.
Thanks
Ben
