richiep350 Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 just saw this on fb 160mph + stretch = bang Quote
AK350Z Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 Serves him right for driving round with that colour! Quote
sasha@lazytrips Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 To be fair, judging by his rear tyre, there is a large degree of blame in getting completely the wrong tyre size on those rims too. Quote
MacW Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 Serves him right for driving round with that colour! My first thought too. Quote
Gudzy Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 I'm now glad that I'm not really a fan of the stretched tyre look. Quote
AK350Z Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 To be fair, judging by his rear tyre, there is a large degree of blame in getting completely the wrong tyre size on those rims too. Hardly keeping to the manufacturers intended use is he? Quote
Dom187 Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 At 160mph hes lucky hes still got a car left! Quote
cefiro_drifter Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 considering the rear wheels im def not ruling out stretch at all BUUUUT, now im writing this because of having many a tyre pop off a rim front and back at various speeds due to stretch BUUUUUUT if it was stretch why is the tyre not still on the rim ? Every one i have had pop off just comes off the beed and sits in the center of the rim or on one of the beeds. Recon it was either a delamination or blow out due to the damage and imoh the road markings dont go back very far/ far enough to show that sort of speed unless he has some serious brakes and/or the tyre wasnt off the rim for long and came off when he hit the kerb at a much much slower speed Quote
neo-ninja Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 at anything over like 100 its meant to be almost impossible to handle if its a bad blow out (never had one so dont know what to expect). So i doubt he was doing 160mph.... Quote
Ebized Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 Rim damage makes you wonder if he hit a kerb that caused the tyre to partly come off a flay around until it departed company altogether. He was very lucky not to have ended up totalling the car altogether, whatever the speed Quote
cefiro_drifter Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 it was probably trying to commit suicide thanks to the stupid stretch and color Quote
rm cya Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 have to admit, im a fan of stretch, but 160.... i doubt it, lol. i reckon blowout, lost the rear, hit a kerb. Quote
Dblock Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 Doesn't seem like much damage for 160mph? Quote
neo-ninja Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 Amazing how stuff spreads around the net, was just on facebook and saw someone had posted this pic. Apparently there is a video kicking around but apparently he was doing 160mph on another stretch of road, then on this road was only going 30mph hit the curb but didnt think to check the tire and a little way down the road this is what happened. So in short he was only doing 30mph when this happened not 160... Quote
Cro Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 He hit a kerb doing 'normalish' speeds nothing to do with speeding. The tyre had burst and the rim bent but he was driving on a flat to get to the garage. Then it caused came off the rim and caused the damage Quote
Neilp Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 160 + blowout = Nah that's my car when I blast it's first 100hp shot of nitrous into it Quote
dragon Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 If it was 160, his ass would've been toast!!! Quote
cefiro_drifter Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 Wonder If his friends drive corvettes Quote
