My dad threw a Mk2 Escort off the side of a mountain in New Zealand 40 years ago. The one thing he was adamant on was a fully seam welded chassis and the best quality roll cage there was, thicker by a lot than the requirement for the races and he was pretty happy to crawl out of a car that was 4 inches narrower and survived rolling down a mountain and through the tops of the trees to the ground, and he had no broken bones apart from the co-driver who I think had a broken wrist. A good cage will save your life for sure, never skimp out
My dad rolled his mk2 off the Dublin mountains 5 lads in it they all got thrown out it went so far down dad never seen it again but his brother got to it and said it was the size of a fridge the engine got ejected they never found it
Guy that i knew when i first got my licence used to rally wrx's (was a v2 i believe). Some how between him and his co driver, somoene fucked up and they missed a hairpin and went straight..... of a cliff. good cage and seat saved them.
@lockjawjak, my dad was rallying mid 70's in NZ for Toyota (Toyota Levin), and was first on the scene of accidents more than he would have liked. And some of those scenes were not pretty even with a roll cage. Props to those who build them well.
11 rolls means official wolrd record for a car rolled on camera. Before it was the Aston Martin DBS 7 times roll from Casino Royale, that held that record.
While I don't know the guy, I feel relieved for him that he is OK. But I know you, Andrew, and honestly I feel equally as relieved for you that he is still alive. While the drivers voluntarily put their lives in thier own hands when they drive at Coota, you are always riding shotgun with them with your livelihood should someone not survive a crash. This is a stark reminder of what you have on the line too brother.
@@markholroyde9412 It's not war but it's still dangerous. Have you ever driven a car at a track; a go-kart even? Any form of motorsport can kill. So yes, it is a harsh reminder that your life is on the line. Such a dumb comment to make 💀
@@markholroyde9412 it’s a hobby and a lifestyle that can get you killed if you miscalculate something the slightest. Think before you type you meatball
@@SGR_Blackout perfect way to put it! 🙏 hope he stays positive and keeps his head up and learns what he can improve for when he comes back to chase his dreams again
Never even met the man and instantly teared up when I saw that roll...my heart sank. So glad he walked away and back to his family. Testament to the safety we have in car racing and it should never be underestimated.
As a car enthusiast/street racer.. This story genuinely had me in tears. It’s a rude awakening of the realty that many of us might face if we’re not careful, and some of us might not be lucky enough to crawl out of such a wreck..
This guy is such a straight shooter and no bullshit. I wasn't going to watch this video but I'm bloody glad I did! He speaks about people giving him things and just dropping there things to help him, That's the power of a community who who a damn about each other because I bet if it happened to them, Mick would do the same thing at the drop of a hat. Wild fucking crash that was, But he stayed positive throughout ( at least what we saw ) and that's the most important part of recovering from such a massive accident. Thanks again mate, My hats off to you and I'm glad to see you got out of this with essentially, No physical injuries!
$20 helmet for a $20 head. Safety gear is the value you put on yourself. Glad he is good. Lucky man. Also, how good is the industry getting round the rebuild! Love it!
@@s70driver2005 It's ridiculous how many people think safety equipment isn't worth the high end prices. In 2011 I was preparing for the motocross season, had an engine lock up off the face of a 70 foot triple and send me over the bars. I landed face first into the uphill of the landing hard enough to crush my T12-L1 vertebrae (and literally shorten me by an inch) but didn't even get a concussion thanks to my Shoei VFX-W. I wish it was on video, it was the scorpion to end all scorpions, my butt cheeks hit my shoulder blades and I saw my heels hit the ground above my head. Shoei, Troy Lee, and Arai are where it's at, I've seen them all save lives without a doubt, including mine more than once.
Mick has a heart of gold, just hearing him talk shows how genuine of a person he is. Always looking after his mates. Get well soon mate, glad you’re okay
So, saw the length of 27:15 and prepared to start skipping but honestly, I watched every second. WOW Mick, so happy that you're OK and you truly are an engaging story teller. Thank you and Good Luck in September.
My heart dropped watching that car get loose, not because I was upset the car was about to be wrecked but because you were just a passenger after that tire caught the grass, so glad to have you around still, keep being an advocate for safety❤️
Mick, what a true humble, champion of a bloke! Brought a tear to my eye hearing the full story in all its truth. So glad you're ok and appreciate you sharing such a traumatic event with such personality... and what a great team and family you have! ✊✊👏
Wow! I don’t know this gentleman but I can tell he is certainly loved by the performance community. What a story we can all learn from. Someone is watching over you. 💪
The fact you are making this video is proof your safety gear is top notch. That was a gnarly crash dude, my heart hurt just watching it. I'm glad you're doing well and wish you all the best.
Dear Mick, I don’t know you apart from this vid as my interests have mainly been circuit. Your a great man for this sport, your messages of safety, roll cages and taking it to the track have surely made some of the young blokes who know it all(same as most of us older blokes once upon a time), a wake up call with ‘impact’. The fact that everyone out there was so concerned for your person and then generous in the rebuild shows how much of a great guy you must be. You really are worthy of that title and caring for others, spreading the message, your a champion. All the best to you and your loved ones, thanks for doing the vid.
Haunting footage, and fascinating to hear directly from the driver about every aspect of the weekend. I don't know anything about the GTR scene, but it sounds like there are some fabulous businesses stepping up to support the new build. What a roller coaster of horror and relief this video put us all through!
Glad your ok bro, amazing that your not letting it affect you and still continuing to do what you love and are good at. nothing worse then having a fear of something
Glad you made it man, whole story just gave me goosebumps... In terms of safety, its just like with us guys riding bikes. There are those who already crashed and those who will crash. Safety is not a joke, sometimes its bothering, sometimes its uncomfy, sometimes its ugly, but at the end of the day it saves your life.
It’s a credit to the guys that designed and fabricated your cage and lucky your smart enough to wear the correct safety gear glad your still with us mate and walked away
I remember Mick from years ago back in the day before MSM (I think he had a VL), he was such genuine good natured guy and it looks like the last 10 years haven’t changed a thing on that front. Glad you’re ok mate.
Australia might be bigger than the US in land mass but it has a tiny population by comparison. A tiny population with an even smaller Street Car Drag Racing community, but what we lack in numbers we more than make for in Quality. Subscriber numbers dont always tell the full story.
Mate, so sorry to see this happen to your pride and joy but glad you weren’t seriously hurt. Thanks for also sharing your story too man, shock and post traumatic stress is no joke so that interview was epic. Good luck for the future and getting back out there😻🤞🏾🤙🏾💪🏾
My God. That was one of the worst accidents I've ever seen in motorsports, period. Ho-lee. Glad he's alright. Very glad to hear that the majority of the car will live on. AMAZING to hear about all the support, too. Legendary.
If anyone ever questions the need for safety gear they should be shown this video and that Sparco Evo crash at pikes peak from years ago. Both videos stand out to me. Good to see you on the mend Mick!
Best video on the channel EVER. So many stories flying around from pretty much right after it happened. Refreshing to see both him willing to talk so openly and humbly, and for Andrew/Motive to put it out there. Stoaked to hear how well everyone supported him immediately after and ongoing to now.
The good (??) thing about rolling to a stop is no major impact. Amazing story. Glad you're here to tell the tale (very well told btw) All the best for a full recovery for you and the car
Thats one of my all time favorite cars... I had to watch this... Mate we're all so glad your alright... You really had a guardian angel that day... Thanks for telling this story and teaching about safety...
Happy to see Mick survived with no major or permanent injuries from the crash, unfortunate for the car as R33 GTR's are getting more expensive & rare as time goes on as does any JDM icon. Also good to see that the boys salvaged every part they could off it as well so it won't go to complete waste plus there is memories attached to the parts as well. Not sure if Mick or any of his mates ever see or notice anything to do with the number "11" or the time "11:11" as I have in many circumstances for a lot of years now - caught my attention to the fact the car had rolled 11 times & later mentioned that the ambulance took 11 minutes to arrive.
What an amazing story! Amazing how so many little things came together to get you out of that. Awesome that some good can come from the situation and you can share the story and educate people.
mate your are lucky to be alive, that multiple rolls after the car going sideway would def give anyone a big scare and fearing for the worse that the driver would be killed. Recently the rocket powered truck blew the rear tires and did the exact rollover and burst into flames killing the driver in the post crash fire.
Man thank you for the incite. I am glad your ok & this just goes to show the equipment level needed to go this fast. We are so glad your in one piece & sharing your knowledge to us.
Your very lucky and glad your still around to tell us this story and make people think how these beast of a car are so fun but are also killers either from miss use or just an unlucky circumstance like your can't wait to see your next run 👍
Such a shame that I've been able to witness this car multiple times in person compared to where it currently is now. Absolutely incredible how the owner walked away unharmed.
Now that's a true racer! Glad your well and safe and because of this 100% I'm getting a cage for the EVO Thanks again Andrew, not only for the great content but value of lessons learnt.
Mate glad you were able to walk away from that.......and to the negatives let them deal with it and you carry on what you love doing!!!! All the best. 🤙
Holy Fack ! His spidey sense’s were telling him, before the run. But when we are in the moment you can’t stop your own momentum. This is a massive friendly reminder, what ever harness’s you have, put ‘em on ! Don’t fool around when it comes to safety protection, this good lad did it the right way in a horrible shituation. Nobody is to cool when it comes to defying death.
I don't really car about the car no more i am just glad that you're alive. This why quality safety equipment is a must have when doing this kind of thing.
Wow - just wow. You are so lucky and I'm so glad you're ok. As you say - cars/things can be replaced, lives cannot. Full praise to the safety measures in place, cage, helmet, arm restraints etc. Amazing. Lucky boy! Will they release pictures of the car before it was stripped I wonder?
Glad to see Mick walked away from that one. Incredible story and really a testament to having the proper safety equipment and using it correctly. Can't wait to see Mick and the boys at MSM back behind the wheel
Great to see him well and an advocate for safety of his customers. In the end, cars operating at this level are motorsport and should have the gear. Aircon and numberplates or not. witnessing a fatal crash at QR in 2016 changed my perspective and I'll never get in a car on a track without a cage and HANS again. turbo surving low earth orbit made me laugh though!
Just watched this with my 13 year old who is building his first car to start hillclimbs when he turns 14. I have always told him a 6 point harness and cage are a must regardless of what he is racing. This video and the commentary has made my boy see how quickly it can all go wrong. Thanks a heap for sharing.
I ride bikes and never cared about safety gear cost. What's the point of saving money on gear if you don't live or can't walk to enjoy it? Glade you okay Bro 👊 wild ride for sure
What a great video, not because of what happened at all, but the way you've been able to look back at it and talk about it openly, and the praise given to everybody, as well as everybody getting on board to help. Not gonba lie though, was expecting to see some images of the crashed car afterwards though right at the end, as a finale closing scene.
What a brilliant video, it’s sad to see such a beautiful car gone but that is the risk of racing. Glad your doing well mate and bravo on being game to highlight and talk about the safety side of things that a lot don’t give enough time. Looking forward to seeing the red car done.
Holy smokes! That is insane defs a angel watching over him. Huge respect and a lot of balls for him to want to go out there and speed down the tracks again
@16:15 - the REAL problem is the difficulty keeping full street rego with a weld in 6 point cage (which is a bare minimum for a cage imo)... Our rego authorities need to ease up on this because there are forcing us to choose between being safe at the track or being able to cruise our cars on the street... Andrew, the whole community needs help around this issue. We need leadership on this matter and lobby for change
Great video, guy is a driver and builds amazing cars. Humble and thankful for all the people who are there for him when he needed. It's great to have good people around who are there for u and I'm sure u there for them. Wish I had good people around me but only ever had people who I give everything but don't get the same back.
Here from Boston dean bro thank god your ok and you can go back to your family that was a bad one, an experience that will never be forgotten still supporting his channel and thank you for teaching me about cars god bless
When the car is getting out of control; do you ever think about lifting off the throttle in an attempt to save the car? You can tell 2-3 seconds before it went sideways the car was already losing control. You arent even racing anyone in this video. So why not save the car and potentially your life?
He literally said that’s one his problem he won’t lift he’s legs off no matter what and he wouldn’t have gotten the numbers he’s been getting if he was lifting his legs off if everytime the car was going side ways a little
WOW!! What a wild ride Mick. Glad you're still with us after that. Good to hear you're itching to get back on the bike. Would've been interesting to see some pics the wreck you walked away from. But I gather there's reasons you didn't post any in the video. Here's hoping you've still got the bug to go faster than ever, and the accident hasn't dampened that bug.

What a great video, not because of what happened at all, but the way you've been able to look back at it and talk about it openly, and the praise given to everybody, as well as everybody getting on board to help.
Not gonba lie though, was expecting to see some images of the crashed car afterwards though right at the end, as a finale closing scene.
What a brilliant video, it’s sad to see such a beautiful car gone but that is the risk of racing. Glad your doing well mate and bravo on being game to highlight and talk about the safety side of things that a lot don’t give enough time. Looking forward to seeing the red car done.
Great video explaining the importance of safety gear! So glad you made it
Holy smokes! That is insane defs a angel watching over him. Huge respect and a lot of balls for him to want to go out there and speed down the tracks again
Mick, glad to see you healthy and keeping your positive attitude. Big respect from your fan boys from Germany. Keep it up !
Good bloke
Good vibes
Good outcome for such a bad situation
Good work boys 👌🏼
@16:15 - the REAL problem is the difficulty keeping full street rego with a weld in 6 point cage (which is a bare minimum for a cage imo)... Our rego authorities need to ease up on this because there are forcing us to choose between being safe at the track or being able to cruise our cars on the street... Andrew, the whole community needs help around this issue. We need leadership on this matter and lobby for change
If you crash on the street with a cage without a helmet, you’re going to crack your skull I guarantee. The laws aren’t there for no reason mate.
Don't use racecars on the street then. If your car is bulletproof without crumple zones you will terminate the guy driving the corolla
@@janeblogs324 correct.
Glad you're still with us Mick
Great video, guy is a driver and builds amazing cars. Humble and thankful for all the people who are there for him when he needed. It's great to have good people around who are there for u and I'm sure u there for them. Wish I had good people around me but only ever had people who I give everything but don't get the same back.
Glad your still with us Mick 👌👌 very lucky mate
thats crazy you had that gut feeling and went against its. I've done the same and it didn't end well for me either
Here from Boston dean bro thank god your ok and you can go back to your family that was a bad one, an experience that will never be forgotten still supporting his channel and thank you for teaching me about cars god bless
Bro shatterd for the gtr but you are alive and the make 2 build will be even better 👌
wow! what an unbelievable story! very happy that you were able to walk away. Great PSA.
Best of luck with the new project.
Awesome video mate. Can't agree more. Really Hope you're doing well. Safety first. Don't street race boys and girls
Inspirational story, thank you mate.
Happy you’re here!
When the car is getting out of control; do you ever think about lifting off the throttle in an attempt to save the car? You can tell 2-3 seconds before it went sideways the car was already losing control. You arent even racing anyone in this video. So why not save the car and potentially your life?
He literally said that’s one his problem he won’t lift he’s legs off no matter what and he wouldn’t have gotten the numbers he’s been getting if he was lifting his legs off if everytime the car was going side ways a little
WOW!! What a wild ride Mick. Glad you're still with us after that. Good to hear you're itching to get back on the bike.
Would've been interesting to see some pics the wreck you walked away from. But I gather there's reasons you didn't post any in the video.
Here's hoping you've still got the bug to go faster than ever, and the accident hasn't dampened that bug.
Seeing my dream car, Midnight Purple R33 GTR destroyed is heart breaking. Though i'd trade it for Mick any day.
very touching story,forget the egos talk and material,life is life,glad u get to see another day bro,very lucky 😀.
Mate you’re a fucking legend and it’s great that you’re okay and you’re able to get out and walk away with only bruises that’s incredible 🤙🏻🔥
I am so glad you came out of that horrific crash. The tires look like they gained a lot of pressure with heat very fast down the strip.
Fucking incredible he just walked away from this. Unheard of to walk away from something like this.
He hit nothing and had a full rollcage. Nothing surprising
Well. I dont personally know you. But, I'm glad you lived to see your family another day..! Keep Safe.
Glad everyone was ok🙏🙏
