| Spotted: My gf writing her Paseo off in the wet, straight in the back off another car. Mid way through the car sliding (brakes locked), I pulled handbrake. Would that make any difference? and spotted a white soarer go past. |

| Josh, hope you and gf not hurt .. handbrakes only good to make wheels lock to slide not stop from crashing .. see, it didn't work .. what day/time you want to head to McDs. I'll go straight from work and be there 7.30 one night. Seats, yeh but is the guy from Melb still interested? He asked 1st so don't want to tread on toes .. sleep disorder or just bad sleep pattern .. love my sleep |

| Handbrake is a bad thing, as you lose the benefit of ABS if you have it. |

| Thanks Peter('s). Gf and I are fine, waiting for assessors to do their damage, I think it is a write off. I LOVE Toyotas... god bless them. This little Paseo went crumple and we barely felt impact, mind you would have been going under 60. Great for saving lifes but geez the poor car. Car was already sliding when I lifted up the handbrake, but I guess I would have increased the sliding or no difference? - both bad outcomes. Pen this Paseo has no abs, but I assure you after that crash I always will look for a car with abs, as this would have greatly minimised the damage I believe. Jordon |

| I met the team leader for training from my work the other day at a course. Turns out she has(had) a pearl white v8. Unfortunately copped some damage from a semi and has been deemed a write off. Insurance payout > market rate for Soarers = cash in hand. GREAT SUCCESS! |

| Joshua, I was planning on bringing it over but the company I work for changed their mind at the last minute and gave me an Impreza to drive over here. Suits me OK as it leaves me with a car in Melbourne when I go home some weekends. |

| Last time I did this I got myself into trouble. Was so used to driving a Mitsubishi 380 (AKA worst turning circle of any modern car in Australia) and going back to my 32 I did a u-turn out the front of S&LC and ended up doing a 270° (without breaking traction). Felt like I was going to crash into myself. |

| http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=200230618110&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=0 10 Its still going. Someone on here said it needs like 5k work I think. I really want to see a uzz32 to see what the fuss is about really? I cant see that anything would be better than my 1jzz 30 vvti, but that is biased a little bit. |
