Title: bird about met its maker
Post by: SLEEPER T-BIRD 87 on June 23, 2007, 09:11:13 PM
Was headed towards a cruise in this afternoon clear sunny skys at the house but that wasnt what was in store. I crested a turn (about 30-35 mph) with my welded rear and drag radials and on the other side of the curb was nothing but soaking wet road and pouring rain after about 7 revolutions in the road i was headed (still sliding)towards an drop off that falls about 40-50 ft backwards Luckily the car came to a stop within 5 ft of the edge and didnt make contact with any of the other cars (they got stopped thankfully) and after finnally getting the bird back started i crept it to the other side of the road to check for damage  (luckily none) so i krept her back home and put her away (and cleaned my drawers :toilet: ). 

just figured id share

That's 3 almost-lost TC's tonight!!

Jon Moller's 13-second IHI TC blew the clutch at the top end and went a 14 backwards.

Layla decided to the entire 1/4 mile sideways because of an oil slick.

Suck! (Thankfully you, the Bird, and everybody else is OK)

Sounds like quite a week-end.  I'm sure glad everyone is okay.  I have done 360s before and they are not fun.  One time I had a bench seat and ended up on the passengers side, still don't know how I held on to the steering wheel and stretch to reach the brakes.

You will very lucky this time and we are all glad you made it un-hurt.
