imo its more the crashing of an underpowered frontwheel drive car, like how the hell do you go fast enough to crash em?


hmmm i think thats a bit unfair ryan, from what i understand of Stefs crash, it wasnt
about how much power he had, more about not seeing the ditch and roling into it? the slowest car in the world could have donethat...

Master William on the other handdrives like a freak, thats why he crashed


i know the corner where stef crashed, the road is clearly visible, but theres a good opportunity to build up too much speed there.

willy does drive like a tool, but i guess willys situation could happen to any of us driving fast through the hills.

willy is a good driver. I trust him. Unfortunately :shock: :P
But he just always happens to be at the right place at the wrong time.
It happens to the best of us. Just more often to some of the best. :roll:

I too have been a passenger in the Willy-mobile on a few occasions.

Only time i got worried was when we were driving 3 minis wide along a 2 lane road.... in the middle. But that was my first time in his car....

Ive been with far worse drivers. My brother is one of them. My parents wont ride with him.


willy has just been unlucky enough to be surrounded by bad drivers when he's hit something.

You indicated maybe half a dozen times when changing lanes etc on the way to Bathurst and back.

Maybe its just a Sydney thing??

I asked him to take it off as soon as it went up, cos I knew people would give me crap about it.

Like what you're doing now.

I actually think it is! I noticed Sydney drivers only indicate when changing lanes when there is a car close in the lane you are merging in to.

I used to get all embarrassed about car accidents I had in Minis, now I just feel bad cos I helped make the Minis that bit rarer.

I never busted two though!
