Cannot say you was lucky to be there cause its not a luck really, thumbs up for stopping and helping Dodo :good:

dodo · 05-01-2006, 08:29 AM

wait wait wait..
not that you think i'm a hero

all i did was just running to them and asking for help. but they could get out of the car by theirselves. then i putted the warning tringle somewhere behind them on the road and collected all the crap laying on the road.
(armani-shirts and such stuff

)

Whack crash btw, thank god they were ok.

If that is the case then why do people insist on posting bullshit like that attached to topics like this?

For once - blame the driver not the car.

Just once.

Oh and it.s not being protective - it's just being tired seeing bull posted like that.
Ove and over and over and over.

JW is about factual discussion - always has been and always will be.

dodo well done dude.

dodo · 05-01-2006, 09:24 AM

I know, it's crappy.. but it was at night and I couldn't do better:

Gumball3000 2006, Small Clip from Germany - YouTube

too bad youtube resizes the videos down. but i added a text to the video so you can "guess" what you saw/heard.

its obvious bias you guys have. he isn't protective of the car; but attempting to correct such pitifully wrong statements

the Viper has no aids to it, and must be respected more then something like an SL 55/65 which has more nannies then Prince william had/has.

its just amazing to see people write "the car couldn't turn" rather then "the driver couldn't handle the car"

666fast pointed out a key thing... look at all the wreaked "good handling european" cars... now was that because the car couldn't turn, or was that driver error?

what makes it any different? particularly when using massive tires in the wet weather and 500 ft. lbs of torque?

Wasn't the Enzo in Cali wrecked on a clear dry day on a straight road..

Seems the Enzo can't even hand a straight dry road - let alone a wet highspeed turn..

Well done dodo to help them :good:

Besides the accident, it must have been fun to join them on the their trip for a while ... standing on the side of the highway is probabely cool too , you get the feeling of speed even more

actually it was bloody cold that time!

somehow i felt like little gumballer.

i drove with them for a while, i witnessed a crash fom the first to the last second.. again driving with them for a while.

ok, i didn't like the feeling of getting involved in a crash, but in some way the whole experience was also fun.

driving with a friend, accompanied by other cars, seeing new countries.. must be a great trip.

next year i'm in! do the allow 75hp civics?

ZfrkS62 · 05-01-2006, 02:11 PM

guys, seriously, any car can lose it in less than optimal conditions. It really doesn't take much. Wasn't it an MC12 that spun off the track on camera? Need i point out clarkson's handling issues on ice during the winter olympics episode?

All it takes is a little to much right foot and everything becomes subject to the laws of physics.

Some cars lose it easier than others, true. But none the less, it all comes down to the driver exceeding his skill limit, with very few exceptions.

Fleischmann · 05-01-2006, 02:43 PM

It's the drivers fault, that's obvious. With the rain puring he got a little too keen with his foot. Glad you were at the scene dodo, even though nothing serious happened your help could have saved a life back there.

Ja du Nasenbär! Laut meinem schlauen Wörterbuch heißt dass so..

Does anyone else want to make fun about me and my loved triangle?

Hey, at least it was a good reason to stay until the end.
