personally I hope Sweden either sink it or bring it up and Russia is forced to admit they are just playground bullies and thugs.

Any company who aligns themselves with the incompetence of PBTech shows themselves to be equally as incompetent.

Nah, assignment for a paper at uni on computer graphics.

Wrote off my car on friday night. Welp.

Weekend == depressing

Physically fine but it was fun to hit my head and just see white. Glad no one was hurt, alcohol / drugs weren't a factor.. rarara...

[Pyromanik]

drugs weren't a factor

So it was a different kind of speed?


Shit feels. Glad everyone is ok.

Bad weekend for cars, I bent my drivers door on my mini catching it on the side of the garage while backing in! Also feeling sad.

If only, if only.

I'm kind of waiting for the police to roll up at my door and give me some hefty fines. My front bumper (with license plate) was ripped off and left somewhere to the side. I DID call the police straight away but they didn't have anyone to send out.

Still
... If the barrier wasn't there, I would of gone straight into the south western motorway traffic.
... If someone else was driving next to us, I would of taken them out and possibly caused them to die.
... If things were a little different I could of killed my 3 best mates.

Quite bothersome feeling all this guilt on a long weekend, but I deserve any fines they throw at me.

Oh man, that sounds like an awesome adventure.

I suppose the gearbox was like "Engine braking is bad, let me relieve you of this by shifting up a gear"

[Retardobot]

Weekend was also insanity.

Moved into new place (well, in the process, shit is still in boxes). Moved in on the Sunday, hungover, new flatmates threw a party on the Saturday.

Still recovering.

Wow bad weekend for cars!! I had a lazy weekend. My daughter has gone to Cashys for a week so home alone.  Took advantage of the sun on Saturday and went rudey bathing, got burnt as fuck!! Went and caught up with the boys at TazLan for a few hours until DemonLord decided to release his bog of stench continuously and as always pleasure to see the lads especially Mr Baldesto. Sunday to Monday i didnt leave my bed haha watched Marvel movies all weekend long.

Felt so bad about being a lazy fuck that I ended up doing double Zumba classes.

[Growler]

Oh man, that sounds like an awesome adventure.

I suppose the gearbox was like "Engine braking is bad, let me relieve you of this by shifting up a gear"

I have never had to act so calm while storing nuggets in the seat, wife n kids in the car, hazards blinking and me literally squatting 500kg both feet on the brakes, luckily there is that slight flat about 500m from the top with the layby that I rolled into and managed to stop.

I fully had it planned in my head to ram into the side of the hill if I couldn't stop there, fuck the holiday traffic!

The wife was like what's wrong...... 'um we don't have any brakes'

Mustang car show on Saturday was awesome! will throw up some pics later.

Dat moment when you pack fuck'n bricks. Worst feeling ever, can't imagine having other people to worry about too! (let alone being in an uncontrolled environment, at speed).
Glad everyone is ok.

p.s. Buy a Landcruiser.
