the cossie's and i were racing on a motorway {that we both privately own} and this happened miles after we had raced. I would have made the bend no worries as i have many at time but due to a transferbox failure this is was not meant to be.

Bit i have learned my mistakes and bought a car that does not have this problem like vauxhall lol.

Guy's your right its only metal, and thanks for all your reply's

Damian

P.S Subaru is still for sell

St Andy

120MPH......on a bend.....with no seatbelt on!!!!! Jesus man you are in need of help, or perhaps a brain transplant. People like you shouldn't be allowed fast cars, I expect you also one of those people who does 60 or 70+ in 30 zones. I'm glad you got out of that alive, you should learn by that mistake, If you don't you'll wind up killing a child.

Damo STi

mate you dont know me so sayin im the kinda guy who does 60/70 in a 30 is out of order, i have a 18mth old son myself and i can assure you that i dont do that OK mate!!, and as post says i was on a MOTORWAY, which dosen't make it righti know but i dont do those speed everyday all the time and certainly not in 30 MPH zonesd mate

St Andy

On a motorway????? How many roundabouts do you see on motorways????


I'm not a paragon of virtue, I speed like everyone else. But 120MPH!!!!! cmon fella, that was just plain stupid wasn't it? Being a father, perhaps it's time to take a more responsible attitude to your driving and general life, if you had died your son would have been without a father.

People like you really wind me up, you increase insurance premiums for everyone else, and you risk lives of totally inocent people.

Take more care, get a life as well.

Damo STi

St Andy that mouth of yours will get u into to some serious troublemate one day, i have seen quite a lot or roundabouts at the end of mototrways mate dont know about you thou?,

And u can sit there slag me off and try and tell me u have never been at those speeds on a motorway and i say u r full of **** mate.

i dont but anyones ins up at all mate as i have money to fix it myself and no one else was involved, again u dont know all the facts about what happened.

anyway this is not what this board is for and im not saying anymore on the matter mate.

p.s Mate i have a life and more so take a settler and you grow up and start being truthful.

Indeed..... Doesn't 120mph feels ridiculously slow when braking from higher speeds.....

Damo.... Your post was well constructed and you have admitted your stupidity about the seatbelt bit so just ignore the self-righteous among us

Damo STi

SiPie thanks mate, i showed those pics to show how lucky i had been about it without seatbelt and speeding, not bragging about how fast i was going.

some poeple eh lol
p.s
im from Edinburgh too mate well more Broxburn

SiPie

Yeah....

To me the post served as more of a warning (and a good one) to others, rather than the "hey look how cool I was..."

Think we can all look back on a few incidents and think "how the hell did I get away with that one" but it's heartening to know that when you get a bit longer in the tooth these incidents are few and far between ..... allegedly

It's the speeding in 30s and past primary schools that gets my back up [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Rant over

Jamesn

The police read scoobynet and use to prosecute!!
Smart move posting this thread then.

SiPie

Think you'll find that the fact it happened in November 2002 would make it a bit hard for them to prosecute now and then who is to say that Damo didn't crash it whilst reversing into his drive and just made up this story to look hard in front of his mates

Damo STi

lol @ sipie, i was investigate and they put the incident down to a fault on my car and that was it over with.

but i have learned my lesson and never do these speeds again unless im on a track.

SiPie

St Andy

I am so touched by your kind words

Lets hope we never meet

o Completely off-topic discussion

St Andy

I have highlighted in bold the relevant points from the above Scoobynet General Forum Guidlines that I feel you are clearly breaking.

It's a good natured board and personally I haven't offended you in the slightest.
You will notice these things you detest called 'smillies' which indicate when people are being humorous (ie. my point re slowing down to 120mph) or sarcastic etc and from reading the above thread I can see no for reason for you to come on to this board insulting myself.

Thanks for taking the time to digest this.

Whats your real username then 'St Andy', or have you just been here a week?

Steve3drALS

Soz to jump in, but St Andy has ****ed me right off jus reading all this crap...

Its like the bad old days of scoobynet with all the up own anus crap 24/7...

Keep opinions to yourself when you dont know the facts.

And the post on the superchips thread by Andy- "my friend has a vectra V6 and was told a superchip would half the engine life" anyone THAT nieve really shouldnt be commenting like he is...

now back to work...

St Andy - Troll or School Kid???? Probably from the RSOC board

LG John

This is all so familure

We've all (well most of us) lost it at some point I don't believe that St Andy's attitude is helpful. In fact, I found people like him would wind me up so much on SN during the day that I'd drive home like an angered loon afterwards. I know for a fact that having it go pear shaped at speed is far more of a sobering thought than any of your harsh words st andy so I'd say its best you keep those thoughts to yourself

Also, there is little relationship between people that are happy to do silly speeds on the motorway and driving fast in 30s. I've seen my scooby off the clock but I sure as hell don't fire past schools at over 30mph

St Andy

Look all I have done is put my opinion across, ok, don't flame me just because you disagree.

Pie_n_Chips

I'm still trying to figure out how a box full of clutches could physically "lock up"??

You sure it wasn't a weak suspension arm?

[Edited by Pie_n_Chips - 4/16/2003 4:23:17 PM]

LG John

You'd know if was flaming I'm just disagreeing

St Andy

Pie n chips, I think it's more a case of brain fail than anything, Jesus Christ this guy is a father, imagine the example he gives to his kids driving like he does. What a pleb!!!

Damo STi

St Andy i am going to say one more thing to you mate
YOU INSULT ME ONE MORE TIME AND I WILL COME TO WHERE YOU LIVE MATE AND YOU WITH BELEFT BRAIN DAMAGED OK.


Im so sorry to have brought SN into this and i will understand if the mod's close it or delete it

Once again Sorry guy's

Damian

Damo STi

Thanks SiPie for all that you said in last post i take it you got a PM from him as i dont see that quote anyway?

thanks again

Damian

Eldar

I don't think threats of violence help. Driving at high speed without seat belts is not the most sensible thing to do, as became obvious. Pious harping about it wasn't helpful, just count to ten and think what a forkwit he/she is for pointing out the blindingly obvious
