Who is this ?

I wonder if it's just people trying too hard. Trying to drive a Liberty like a GT3RS or the like *shrug*

[Lib 3.0LR]

Do you think the wipers work. Man the car looks like its f..............k

[birch_security]

What a waste.......but as long as the driver is ok.

+1 that was my mistake..... no matter how good the awd system is on the lib you can still get the car sideways very easily…… and you have very little time to maintain the slide or correct it, unlike a rwd…….. You can trust me on this…..

Btw I just noticed oem tyres on the car, that’s the first mistake……….

wow thats had a big roll. I'll try and find out what happened. Same sort of thing happened at one of the clubs driver training days a year ago at wakefield basically wrote the car off into the wall. No insurance = big money down the drain.

Fingers crossed it was only an auto

I get that when i take corners a little to fast the car will just start kicking out. Sad to see a Liberty all knocked up like that id like to know how did it happen?

Ian Luff day the last one there too

I attended an Ian Luff day at Oran Park today and the first thing I have to say is that I'm cranky with myself for not driving there before because it's so much fun, however most people on here would already know that!
One guy who won't be too happy is the chap driving a Liberty who rolled just after the bridge. Didn't really see it but as it was described he was in a slide, went off the track and the wheels hit a ridge in the dirt and over he went where it ended up resting on it's roof. Luckily the driver was fine. He didn't have a harness belt either so really lucky to come out completely unscathed. Sad end to his day.

It's going to be expensive to fix, but I'm guessing the car isn't a write-off.
The lack of damage to the bonnet, grill and suspension make it look like only the roof and glass were really damaged.

[Tank]

i hate seeing this. good to hear he is ok

alteast he went over on the only part of that track that doesnt have a wall in your face.

wonder what the insurance company will be told???....maybe he should have kept his boot in it and not unloaded the AWD system?

Well i guess all the attention he is getting on internet forums will ruin his chances of "pretending" that he rolled it on a public road!

Shame though, such a lovely car. If it isn't a write off, its a big job to fix. I don't reckon that roof panels are the easiest to replace and wouldn't fancy having to pay for the repairs out of my own pocket with no insurance coverage.

[parso_rex]

This is the only public forum I've seen it on so far

Bet that car is a write off myself

I'm with parso on this one. Both A pillars damaged - I wouldn't touch it.

Senator - I thought the Bridgestones were on the better end of tyres? Why that comment?

My experience with AWD also suggests that pushing them to the limit is great BUT don't over step that limit as if you don't grab when it lets go then you'll very quickly be facing the wrong way. Hence why AWD cars are sold by manufacturers with massive understeer.

My worse experience with AWD so far has been oversteering, then finally when the rears catch grip again it slingshots you sideways across the road. On a skidpan is really the only safe place to test the limits of car and driver.

Tek - I wasn't stating that you "test the limits" on a public road if that's what you assumed.
