Sunday 11th of march, 2001 on the Todd Wilkes memorial cruise.....

It's safe to say that I took any and all of the bad luck that anyone might have had on the cruise. After 5 years of work, waiting and $45k I managed to get 126k's on the clock before a no skill dickhead in a Fairlane decided to plough into me at 80-90'ks. I now have one written-off SS Torana, the chassis is bent front and rear. the car I launched into, my mates SLR, is a write-off as well. 

This happened 10 mins into the cruise, on Princess Hwy at the turnoff Frankston-Dandenong RD turnoff. We were stationary at the red arrow for about 5-6 secs before the 2-3 secs of skidding - the skids marks are 55 metres long. He reckons we were running the red arrow and wanted to make it too. No fucking way mate, he was just an idiot. The arrow was red for at least 10secs and it's not like the Agent was hard top spot either. What a dickhead. The cops charged him with reckless driving, speeding (they estimate 130k's before he locked the wheels) and not displaying p-plates. He was not insured, typical... Luckily I was insured with Shannons and they really looked after me.

Disapointingly only one person, off the many that would have seen it, stopped. Trust me it's worse than it looks, and it doesn't look good.
