the guy in the last pic was the towie, looking for somewhere solid enough to drag the car out.
the driver was a young asian guy.
the number plate was '2TIMER'
from what we could work out, it looked like he tried to drift/powerslide out of hindley st, lost it, over corrected, up over the footpath (luckily not taking out pedestrians, its a busy spot on saturday nights) somehow managing to dodge all the light poles and pillars...
the rear of the car and the passenger side were undamaged.

so who noticed the 'no parking' sign on the wall above the front of the car?

Look's like you have a problem with Jap cars, hey! Mate, I have a Falcon and a R33, nothing wrong with that, just a better variety to choose from when going cruising. Obviously the driver of the R33 pictured above is and clearly was being a Tool and suffered the consequence/s.

No he wasn't - I'm sure it was a fault in his tyre tread, or the road. No way in hell was it a mechanical fault or the driver's supurb driving skill.

Mate, don't fault the road or the tyre's. To get wedged in like that and cause that much damage he must have been pushing the car beyond the limit of control aka being stupid in the wrong place.

Mate I was joking.

I dont particually like Skyrices very much but I do respect nice ones as I would with any nice car.

Thats actually a pretty dangerous way to remove that car - at least with all those people around - I bet the towie didnt put a jacket or a weight on the cable in case it snapped?

The cable should, obviously stronger than the torque that the winch could provide - but still, cables get damaged.

Apparently 3gp (Barrys pic file type) is some new multi media file... Pfffft.
Any chance you've got those pics in a viewable format Barry?

This "interesting" stuff never happens when I'm in town.
Collision between a tram & a Mitsubishi Lancer at glenelg is the best I've seen so far.

Its a phone video file. Easiest way to play it would be to download Nokia media player.

I'm not surprised to see this. Went cruising for a bit after work last night and there were a few fools on the road in the city.
