Please Be Careful

Post by EXC »

Ok I know its not an FTO but this is a reminder to you all to please be careful when cruising.

A friend of mine on saturday was going on a crusie and entered a corner at high speed, understeered over corrected, hit a tree which flipped him over a fence landing upside down in a paddock.

I would say he's lucky to be alive but I really want to remind you all not to push your limits. Or you could be hurt and looking at pics like this of your car.

Wow, that must have been one hell of a flip. I agree with the assumption that he is lucky to be alive.

things like this should not have happened, esp when you think how easily it could have been avoided.

hope this serves a a graphic warning for those who tend to get a little too excited during cruises...

As with any cruises, you drive at your own risk, please don't be a hero, stick to the speed limits and drive safely.

edit: can i have those wheels??? :D

Glad the person is in one piece, but flipping a car like that? WTF?
So avoidable, and you've gotta question their driving ability in the first place. Not impressed :roll:

I agree, in order to achieve an outcome such as that.
