MORE BREAKING NEWS: Snowy is dead

Post by **foggyjames** » 14 Jan 2005 01:59 pm

It's official...Hugh will soon be onto his fifth 300, as Snowy has had an unfortunate meeting with a lorry (with the lorry squarely at fault). Hugh is ok, but details are sketchy.

This sucks...3 damaged / destroyed 300s in one day!

cheers

Hugh, very sorry to hear the news, at least you hadn't completed the repairs and your intended mods. It's stll a major nuisance and a great shame. Onto your next 300 then Hugh, hope you're ok and that you get paid out well, seen as the other driver was at fault.

basic story

i'm driving down the nsl road at 55, minding my own business, come over the crest of a hill and see a lorry trying to overtake a tractor, coming up the steep hiil. i slam the brakes on, try and scrub off as much speed as possible. decide i'm clearly not going to stop, try and ditch the car, unfortunatly the banks too steep so the wheels wont go up it. skim down between the lorry and the grass, as far over as physically possible, and clip the very back of the lorry with the front end of my car. front end rips off, dents door, mullers frame, i stop a few feet later, move car onto verge by driving at it at an angle. get out sevearly pissed off.
