Bitsamissin... literally (roll over pics)

Post by RockyF75 »

Not technically tech, but thought the ppl in Mitsu section might get a kik. Mods feel free to move if need be
This happened on the Powerlines track @ lithgow, 1st time out 4Bing, but IMO wasn't completely driver error, I thought the spotters picked a bad line but hindsight's 20/20 I suppose...

For the tech, I was quite suprised at how little damage, maybe 4 dents and a busted mirror, no injuries other than stomach cramps cause the driver/passenger's where laughing so hard :D
We pushed it upright, cranked it without spark plugs a few times, and it went fine. Lost a fair bit of petrol though as u can see in the pics.

I'm happy to let it ride. If the owner wants it removed, PM me.

Otherwise, post up with more details of the vehicle - like tyres? Pressures?

Dont think the owner has the net :D, so I blanked the plates out just in case. Dunno bout the tyres, but the pressures where dropped a bit, about 30psi i think. Not much to say about the car actually, other than I was very suprised at how well it took the roll. But not suprised at how easy it was, looks very very topheavy, and I cant imagine the drivetrain being very heavy so it'd have a high COG. I was worried it wouldn't start, or that the wheels/axles would be bent etc. 1st time i'd seen a roll in real life(unless u count WEROCK)

If it is the section of track I think it would be easy to roll even if you only get it a little wrong luckily not to much damage hopefully it wont scare him off on 1st time out.

Bloke in our club has a delica I nearly get see sick just following him it rocks about everywhere but he loves it and gets it in some fairly amazing places even though wheel travel on a shopping trolley is better.

cheers eddy

I don't have any pics as it was a Loooong time ago, but I know of 2 L300 vans that did Wirarba Ridge. Both were from Brisbane Waters Club.
