rwdrolla Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 Yes thats right boys and girls. The beauty of a KE70 almost went swimming in the torrens river tonight. Over the embankment, almost rolled, and stopped only 2.5 metres from the edge of the river. why? cos of a drunk driver on my side of the road. I swerved to miss them, and hit some gravel, and slid about 10 metres or more down the steep grassy, rock and tree filled bank, and yeah... I have minor concussion, and the car is suprisingly ok for where it landed. I mean, i have never seen a car basically slide down a cliff, and only get a few scratches and dents. Will post pics 2morra when i take them at the mechanics. Only just finished getting the car lifted and winched out of the riverbanks, and back onto the road. God love 6L V8 towtrucks and some nice guy. seriously. Anyways, now that i am lucky to be alive, i think i'll have a shower and get some sleep before the interview with the police 2morra morning. Nite. Quote

rwdrolla Posted February 22, 2005 Author Report Posted February 22, 2005 i'm alright, just a few bruises here and there. police came for a quick check that i was ok, and left for an emergency call i'm just glad the car isnt in the river. bloody hell. gotta wait for the mechanic to check over my car before i can drive it home. *twiddles thumbs Quote
