Certin qui fréquente le forum Turboricks connaisse surement Kenny (Linuxman51), avec sa 740 2.3l 16valve de 5xx.xx whp. Il travaillait à mettre une th350 depuis un petit bout, mercredi soir il a démarer le tout pour la première fois et a fait un petit tour du bloc. Jeudi il était en route pour le dyno, lorsque quelque chose a éclaté sous le hood laissant s'échaper beaucoup de prestone très chaud.
Longue histoire courte, perdu une roue, perte de controle immédiate, prend le clos, le prestone est entré dans la voiture, 14 tonneaux, bouteille de nos qui est parti dans les air. Finalement le moteur et la transmission était attaché ensemble, en feu, a ''20 yards'' de l'auto. Blessure mineure, presque pas croyable...
Je vais poster les photos dès qu'il y en aura, pour le moment voici l'auto avant le carnage...

The 740 is dead. I think the count was 14 rotations, engine and transmission were 20 yards away from the car, a front suspension assembly was MIA.
Couldn't tell you exactly what happened, but some thing(s) broke. Tire came appart, wheel fell off, not really sure what happened, but it happened fast, and the car was airborne before I had any chance to really try and catch it. Either either the engine let loose another freeze plug (but we weren't really leaning on it), or something came off and ripped the radiator out, all I can really say is:
There was a gyeser of hot ass antifreeze that came out wayy over on the driver's side (burned my left leg), and the car was immediately out of control and over a curb. I recall the first part, I blacked out for the rest, then I recall sam telling me to get out of the car, dragging me away from it over to the side of the road. The engine was on fire somewhere in the back ground.
it was a bit of a blur after that, I came out of my daze in the ambulance (which is the first time in my life I've really gotten a car sick feeling, I might add), joked with the EMT and Sam (who was riding with).
By the grace of god:
No broken bones
No significant injuries (possible concussions is about it)
My thumb hurts the worst, followed by the roadrash/burn on my left shin, it feels pretty ****ty. I suspect this goosegg on my head is going to be killing me tomorrow. Oh and I've got a burn on my shoulder from the seat belt.
So the car is gone (obviously). I'll try and get pictures tomorrow, gotta go talk to the staties, probably going to get a stack of tickets, but no one was seriously injured, and thank god no one was killed. It was a single car accident, we ended up off in a ditch.
You don't have to worry about nominating me for the feature car anymore Perhaps just dumbass of the month.

just me and sam. The most memorable part of the wreck for everyone else was apparently the nitrous bottle that got flung into the heavens :shrug:
