Ive towed many extendable loads of steel up to 18 metres long at up to 26t.
Ive never seen an extendable fail like that before.

I though the fail was because it said COCKk on the door.

I work with people like that, I went to school with people like that, and unfortunately I am friends with people like that.
It is never ending.
Apparently theres nothing cooler than 18s on the front and black stockies on the back.

I think what killed that truck was plain old physics.
You put a looooong flexible load like that on an equally loooong trailer, drive it at speed over a typical crap country road like that, and it'll "bounce"...it might be only slight, but you can see it in a big load of similar pipe on a good bitumen highway if you get stuck behind such a truck. Eventually the occilations up and down will weaken something. If it's been used for doing that for a few years, eventually it's going to bend at the focus point...mainly being where that big limp of wood is placed underneath the load above where the bend is seen.

A guy who just started at my work has a rodeo with 20 or 22's on the front and stock 15s on the back. Cant wait to ask him WHY! Looks so stupid.

But you have to see them ALL...

The other day when I was working, I was out fixing a computer in one of the I.T rooms and I overheard the following:
Mind you, these 2 kids are what make us worried for the future, and certainly make me go

Kid1: Oh nah mate I want a "phukin" v8 for my first car.
Kid2: But you can't drive in your P's bro, coppazzz will hate you
Kid1: Nah mate Im gonna make it reaaaal quiet so then I can drive it around, **** the coppers, stupid c***s
Kid2: So what car do you want bro?
Kid1: I want a VP clubby bro they **** flyyyy dude.

*I try not to laugh, continue to do my job and proceed to leave as I wanted to call them both fools."

Yeah I went to school with people who seemed to think a 202 trimatic VK commodore would ice an E series falcon.
They didn't seem to understand what torque was so I never bothered trying to explain it.
That sort of conversation happened every day in my classes

Well it depends on what E-series we're talking about
If you're talking a 3.9CFI, then yes it probably would
but if we're talking a 4.0MPEFI, then no way in the world

Yeah it looks like one of those ones you couldn't do if you were trying to.

I'm not so sure, even the old CFI pull away quicker than a 202 Trimatic, they wouldn't pull the skin off rice pudding. The RBwhatever in the VL would smoke the CFI though.

I think we should clarify what we mean by 202 trimatic
if you're talking a carby 202, i agree with you
but the black motor EFI VK's with 109kw were respectable performers, especially right off the line.

Mind you they're all old hat these days and a joke in comparison etc etc

Whoever posted the photo for the classified obviously don't drive a Ford or Holden - they probably drive a fuego
which by the way is an epic fail ......

Yep, reminds me of my school days. I remember a kid saying Holdens in V8SC need to use Ford 9" diffs to stop them from winning every single race.

I apologise for not clarifying. I was talking about 3.9CPI/4.0LMPI vs. 202 carby.
I really don't like 202s though, so I may be prejudice LOL.
I was told a stock, run of the mill carby fed 202 would beat an EBII XR6... not likely.

I see. Doesn't a stock ebii xr6 have pretty much double the power of a carby 202? I can tell you first hand that the only thing you can race in a carby 202 and win with is lame 4cyls, believe me i've got one!

My old carbie 202 with traumatic FLEW off the line..... one day when I accidently had it in neutral then went "oh it's not in drive".... *BANG! SCREECH!* ... aaanndd we're off!

That old VK kinda reminded me of the current holden heritage of 2 second lag between throttle application and actually going anywhere, as the carbie used to flood when you floored it, the engine sputtered about then suddenly you got a rush of torque as it sprang into life... very odd indeed.

spotted today.

Holden are now making a Chev SV6
