    That was so cool!

    From our 3rd floor office this a.m. we watched a car go thru a red light, swerve left and right to avoid the one way traffic, loose control and drive over the footpath and through the temporary fencing around a demolition site and eventually finish up about 25m off the road with the whole front bumper left in the middle of the road. The young lady driver got out and I was fully waiting for her to inspect the car and then burst into tears. But what did she do??? She got the map out of the car and rested it on the boot and tried to work out by much pointing with her companion where they got lost. Then they drove off after a short discussion with the local constabulary.
    It reminded me a lot of being hit in the nuts when you walk into a pole and then pretending it didn't hurt.

    Anyone else seen any remarkably cool behaviour after an accident?

    Know a guy that got blown off his bike by a freak gust of wind while cruising up the motorway on less than two wheels.

    Once he noticed a cage driver dobbing him into the *555, he calmly climbed on his grazed bike, continued a little further down the road, did a "Uey" and wheelied back the other way while the caller looked on.

    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    i was at lake ferry few months back for fishing, finished for the day and as i was putting the stuff away i saw this brand spanking new mazda 6 go off road on a track i only saw quads use... bout 10 m down the road he beached the car so that the front tyres were off the ground. The asian turist was quiet shocked that the car was strugling to follow a quad onto the sandy road.
    Anyways he couldnt comunicat in english but me, some m8s and a local with a quad got him back on to the road (after bout 30min) just to watch him try to go off road again... the fella with a quad had a word with him, along the lines of "$%#@#% #@$@%% ##$@$ @#$ @#@$@!". erm.... ohh yeah that thing was a rental, maybe one of yours
