 accident with my ke30

hey guys,
at approximately 4:53pm i had stopped on a bit of a slope in the paddock i was driving in about 50 metres away from the fence, i put the handbrake on and shutdown the mighty 4k.
Sat there for about 5 mins just a little bit away from my car admiring the car, then my bro starts doing a burnout in a alto so i turned away from my car and ran over there and after he had stopped i turned back to my car to hope in it and saw it gradually getting away from me...I SHIT.. i frantically tried to turn the steering wheel (from outside the car)as it was going to fast for me to jump in and with all my luck i managed to veer it about 5 metres away from where it was going, at this point the car was doing about 15kays and still climbing until..BANG..  went straight underneath the fence and into a starpicket post, i saw my whole life flash before, then i managed to drive it from underneath the fence and safely back up to its home, as far as damage goes the bonnet is scratched to the shit, and its been pushed up a little, passanger side front fender is scratched and same on the other side. Me and my dad have decided to get the bonnet off the ke30 frontcut we got a few weeks ago and the front fender sand them back and the whole car back then were spraying her white. So i have a alot of sanding to do but i should get there.
Anyway thanks for listening to my story

Damn...that'd suck. 
But if you think about it, it could've been much worse 
It's only some minor damage that a bit of elbow grease could fix...good luck!

yeah, luckily the damage isn't all that bad but no it has given me and my dad more of an incentive to start sanding her back so not all's lost,

I can sympathise with that - just be glad that it's not a SAAB.
Had a mate who bought an 80's SAAB for less than $3k. Parked it on a hill and it rolled down and hit a telephone post. Fortunately no damage to other cars / property but the repair parts required came to about $4k or so.
You can guess but the car was scrapped as a result ...

Reminds me of the guy who took a 100 series cruiser for a test drive.Went home to show his wife and when they came out of the house it was down the bottom of the hill that backs onto the driveway.Not a good thing.
