3 Poor Bastards:

This incident didn't involve my ute, it was a mates.
My buddy owned a Black 5 litre 5 speed VS Ute, quite a sensational piece of machinery with lots of dollars spent on it. We were at a party after footy and once the night had withered away we split back towards town. On the way home he decided to demonstrate the almighty ability of the beast. Accelerating into the corner heading into town, marked 90kmh, we reached 140 when the tail end started to step out. Much to our horror, after a drunken over correct, we went sliding over the edge of the road down a 2m drop off. We bounced three times before we came to a holt, the longest bouce clearing a scary 30m..... The ute was a write off....the three of us were nearly in tears. Yes three, I was sitting on the centre console, holding my hands on the roof hoping like hell I was gonna live.
