Thumbs up Holden Dealership Carnage (pic!)

I guess most people on here would have seen this as it's done the rounds but for those who haven't seen it, enjoy!

I heard the test drive story also. Who knows. Obviously speed was involved. Magic effort though. Well worth remembering.

It apparently wasnt a test drive or whatever, from what I remember from the debunking story, it was a young guy in his leased HSV who was being tailed by an unmarked police car - apparently he was a "person of interest", and the fellow put a little too much throttle into it to try and get away.

Yes this was very close to my house, although I didnt find out till it was getting cleaned up

Funny thing that the area where he entered the fence, is only a gap slightly wider than the car as there is a a gum tree on one side and the fence corner post on the other

GRNKPR, you should also check your spelling in your recommendations. CAMPBELLFIELD not Camberfield.
