The time has come for me to tell you NZ boys what happend to the SL turbo.....I got the car about 3 years ago...during the time I was part owner of a NOS bar and a Party pill shop called Jordys.......every weekend me and the group of people that I was with used to sit at the nos bar out the back in our own room sucking on tank after tank for hours on end......this went on for about a year.....I was 18 and tied up with the wrong crowd...so I was peer pressured into to doing things I didnt really want to do to keep the others happy if you get my drift...the rest of the story about my personal life some of you know already as I have explained my situation to you personally. As its really noones business that I dont know apart from mates like you NZ boys and it will stay like that. I got into substances a bit more extreme along the lines on XTC and Speed and Cocaine etc for a we while....wasnt a nice road to go down....I hoped in my car one saturday night to head home and I had been awake for 2 days wired off my tree so my body was fu*kd and I fell asleep at the wheel...in doing this my foot went to the floor and the car built up speed quickly till I finally started to veer across the road while still asleep till about an estimated speed by the SCU of 140km\h straight into a power pole head on no brakes while asleep...the pole was smashed to pieces and levelled...I then bounced off that and then into a group of large trees backwards then bounced off them back down the road another 100m.... the seat snapped off the floor and the car was totaled I woke up to the emergency services dragging me out of the car through the rear door.....not knowing what had happend..because I was asleep I dont remmember anything that happend at all...I dont even remmember driving down that road..Since then I got away from that life and I have never done anything stupid like that ever again...it cost me a car I really loved and it almost cost me my life. this july it has been 2 years since the crash...time does fly. This is how I have all these spare parts that are hard to come by and no none of them are forsale before anyone asks. For those of you in the NZ section if you want to know a bit more about my life and what went on then get in contact with me and I will explain a bit more about me that you will be shocked about im sure that a few selected few here already know about and are sweet about...I just refuse to tell everyone over a public forum...hope you understand that I hope you all understand whats happend here and learn from this as I have. Life is to precious to throw it all away for cheap thrills suck as NOS and drugs...don not do them the pictures I am about to post might give you a wake up call boys please do not give me **** as this still haunts me and I am very sensitive to people giving me **** about this particular incident Thanks again Your good friend and always Aaron (NZ_BT1) PS: you are all an awesome bunch of guys and I am stoaked to know you all...my life is positive now I have met the right group of people Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I hadn't read this til now. How bad were you hurt cause that car looks pretty bashed up, I havn't seen that kind of damage to the rear of a VL before, and how did that passengers rear hub get up there? My Mum knows someone who's son took some E and then went to drive somewhere.. ran someone over nearly as soon as he got on the road and killed them, apparently the whole situation really did his head in. Well you learnt from what happened, it's the people who just go buy another car and do exactly the same thing all over again that I don't understand. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I walked away without a bruise or a scratch.....seat snapped off the floor and dash ended up on my knee......when the car hit the pole when i was asleep it spun the car around then I went backwards at estimated speed of 140km\h as the SCU told me into a large tree.....spare wheel was by the centre console by my arm the boot wash flush wih the rear window.....all the welds in the chassie were broken etc... very lucky....
