@gosportjamie 6 жыл бұрын

I'm glad you guys walked away. The car looks a mess but it looks like the structure survived pretty much intact and straight so it definitely looks to be possible to rebuild her. That's some amazing ETs for a retired taxi with a ute motor. I know it's easy to say, especially after this, but if you're not sure or not happy with the tyres on your car then change them out for a set you know you can trust, they're the only thing touching the road (or SHOULD be the only thing touching the road) so you really need to be confident that they can keep you out of the scenery, and I'm speaking from hard learned experience on this one. I've had too many bad times with cheap or old tyres and a set of good rubber is almost always cheaper than having to buy another vehicle...

Scott, what you have said on this vid about how you felt is spot on! There are a lot of inexperienced blokes with powerful cars that probably don't watch the news much but they watch you! Glad no one was injured.Bet you don't let that happen again...ever! Sorry to hear about the incident but it's a wakeup call for all of us hey?Thanks, Peter.

@jamesblanton9364 6 жыл бұрын

Wrapped to hear you say "we should repair the taxi", that gutted me a tad bit Scotty, i really dig the turbo taxi and very much think it's well worth fixing. Good to know that you're both ok, and no repairs needed for you blokes. I'm thinking a six million dollar man rebuild, better, stronger, faster than it was before. Thanks for another ripper episode, stay safe and be cool. Cheers

You can always rebuild/replace a car, bit harder on a human
