Not quite normal transport but......
Been in Otago for the rally this weekend just been.
I help service for the SS2000 class Ford Fiesta.
This rally they had a oops moment in the first special stage on Sunday morning. Had been running well up till then. This same stage they ran on the Fiday at night and made it through OK. The pace note was 6R opens, 80, 6L into 5L. Driver heard 5L too late and couldn't make the corner as he was committed to the 6L call by then. Hit the tree at approx 130kph in 5th gear.

Crikey cambo, who needs a chainsaw.
Though it pains me, here is my oops.

A lung full of water and it's 'All over Rover', cost me an engine, a lot of hassle, skinned knuckles but worst my kids keep reminding me of it.
Probably the most embarrassing part was the extraction.

The shame, the shame! :oh noes:
G'Day Fella's,
I see what you mean Gadgetman!

How embarrassment!
Doh!
Homer
Land rovers got to be good for something
thats cool i drowned a ute once see if i can find it:yaeh am not durnk:
I know I shouldn't of felt so bad, I'd already hauled him out a few times during the day. But it's the principle of it. Another bad part was that he had my twins (another Landie fan) cell number in his phone and was calling up pretty damn quick. I did get a certain amount of entertainment out of it though; when I pulled the glow plugs and cranked the engine over there was an brilliant sequenced fountain display. Hey, I'm one of life's optimists and always look for a bright side of everything.Quote:

And not exactly the norm transport again but here's a guy I dated at Polytech who crashed back when he raced formula fords and I was spanner hand for him. Hands down the worst day of my life - I thought he had died. This is turn one Levels (Timaru) if you are familiar with the track. I watched the entire thing from pit wall. I shit you not I had tighened up his HANS device just before this race. He was lucky to get out with a broken back in two places and badly lacerated hands from hitting the steering wheel (and breaking it into three bits!)

Went up on an angle from the right (2nd gear low range), wee bump on the steepest bit and she took off backwards with the wheels going forwards. Grabbed reverse and eventually managed to swing it round and back out of it just here:

Wasn't far off going all roly-poly! Couple of years back but I still remember it fairly well.
Nearly cleaned out a horse on friday night too, clever animal decided it was a good idea to stroll across SH1 about 20m in front of me.
The esses off the front straight? It does feel a fair bit tighter through there than it looks from trackside, and the corner arrives pretty quick!Quote:

We backed down this little road to the river and started fishing then water started rising so we were outies. a quick wash then into the ute start going up then it started skidding and going back to the river. Lucky for us one of the local farmers was taking some stock down the road said he would be back later with his tractor to pull us out. Its funny he didnt wonder what 2 young guys are doing with a truck any way. anyway he came back and tried pulling us out with this old rope but it snapped, so we went over the road to the metal pit there and took some bailing twine off the screen that was there and that shit pulled us out. since no photos heres some awesome painting to give you idea
