Postby 67rce » September 4th, 2009, 10:41 pm

was in major accident on tuesday with my mate,
heading to gondi
through warwick
i was in his el xr6 towing a tandem trailer with a torana, 2 fridges on the backand his car fully loaded and 1 inch off the ground, he was in a v8 states man of his carrying furniture, i was driving and all of the suddent the trailer has hit a hole in the road and has sent me over the edge, in to a huge drop on the side of the highway and the whole lot burnt to the ground, he has lost his el xr6 and his torana, are all gone, the trailer was a rental one and will cost 5 grand to replace,


from his mate frd906 on FM and GAYFF, he sent this to me on MSN

LOL so the the moral of this story is dont overload/ un even load your trailer and the person towing had no idea what they were doing?

i actually think it was a massive imbalance in the crank, and that shook the car clean off the road... poor bastard never stood a chance.

Shaun, thats how much you have to pay when you destroy a rental.. Its not just replacing it, its the labour, insurance, etc.

That only happens when you dont pay the extra insurance when you hire :P

You wouldn't be able to buy a decent dual axle car trailer for much less than 5k these days.
Tradesmans trailers are up over 2k for a single axle, so...

Plus if you could charge 5k for it, and only pay 4k to get one for your company, of course they'd do it. lol
