MORE BREAKING NEWS: Snowy is dead
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
James

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.
