The barrier has been HIT again! I saw it when i opened my windows this morning. It was quite a big impact cos the supports have been uprooted! Will try to take pics! It has only been 3 days since it was last replaced!

 

OMG ! Again ...geezz...

 

wah the guy everytime repair teh barrier very good business can keep stock.

on a serious note that is not good news at all. i tried that place even on slow speed on the wet and started to skid already. something has to be done really soon, cant let this continue to drag on.

 

aiyooo.... i think must write to LTA to report yhe high accident rate there & ask them to do something to the rd!

 

As promised, the pics! Taken at 1355hrs, 7th Dec.

 

Hey Dru...thought I'd have some fun with your pix...hope ya don't mind!

Oh no...not again...he's going the wrong way! :D

 

LOL ...that's a good one :D

 

haha... stun the photo from someone.

actually quite cute.

look like 1:5 model

maybe go ask around to see if got anyone selling the pedal or electric one then can go to OG in chinatown and do rounding.
must check where got sell mods if not very hard to keep up with the rest, maybe go yap B to change tires first. :D

 

This is Manwe and me showing off our 8's after a Zaino job....but wait, he beat me to the corner and I'm heading for the ditch! Damn...four hours of Zaino sweat totally wasted.... :D

 

lol! nice editing it.... using photoshop?

 

8th Dec. The destruction continues today with 2 accidents in the rainy afternoon. One is a yellow top taxi which hit the already damaged barrier before spinning and faced the opposite direction. Less than an hour later, a blue RAV 4 came and hit the barrier on the LHS of the bend. I managed to snap a couple of pics of the RAV 4 being towed when i came home around 1730 hrs. Will post just one pic cos the other pic showed the number plate clearly and I am too lazy to edit that out.

 

IMO, they should use a big rubberband as barrier..safer for everyone...hahaha...or a giant airbag or tire stack....

 

Think best, CLOSED off the road :D

 

Ya, photoshop to crop and another program to put the images together. I'm not that good at it compared to others I've seen....some pix are difficult to tell from reality

 

wat's the numbers? i go buy 4D

 

lol.... all the best of luck!

 

The number reads as " ba qi ba qi " in mandarin. Or for the sake of Genesis, try looking at " *&*&" or yr keyboard.

 

Try looking at " *&*&" on yr keyboard if u wanna guess the number.

 

It happened again! New Year's Day 2005 at about 1300 hrs.

 

Bizzare! It always seems to be taxis. I don't think the drivers really check their tire wear, spinning around like that. We already know some of them drive like Schumacher wanna-be's, but Dru, next one you see, take an up close macro shot of the tires, let's check what kinda tread they're running on.

 

ermmm... another turbo taxi!... from the pic i think the taxi is relatively new taxi so i dun think the tread on the tyre s running botak

 

You may be right Woot, but even the newer taxis put on some incredible km's in a relatively short time. Btw, what's the reference to turbo taxi?

 

ermmm i'm just joking to say that the taxi must have install some turbo into thier diesel engine so they can drive so fast till they fly up the rails

 

Haha!...Ok sorry, my bad...thought maybe even Comfort had decided 3L wasn't enough

 

Basically, the Toyota Crown taxis are just badly designed. The tires on them are too damn thin for the size of the body. I guess they are designed with such thin tires for lower rolling resistance and hence better mileage/fuel consumption but it's ridiculous. Next time, try to see how thin the tires are w.r.t. the size of the car.

Reminds me of an idiot I saw today driving a Galant at 110+km/h on the CTE this morning with one of those small spare tires. I remember my Stealth had one of those and they are only rated for 50mph. Would have been ugly if the spare tire ripped at high speed...
