well today had a pretty s**t start i was on my way to meet lukey1990 in town to look at a ed falcon anyway i decided to go molesworth to get out of the road works (bad idea) half way through i came round a corner at 70 along a short straight to another corner where a ford territory came speeding around the corner on my side of the road and didnt move over so i slam the brakes on and swerve off the road into large rocks and crap heard my bumper hit the ground obviously they kept going :roll: so i nursed it up to the nearest spot to pull up and got out expecting the worsed but luckily theres no damage so i got very lucky there.

i also went to rokeby wreckers and seen a set of hot wires im keen on 14X8's with tyres for $300 :P he also has a el motor there with 160,000k's for $550.
