Therefor, I'm inclined to believe you had a slight,

So I'm just going to post this:


You know you're cool when you put a cannon on a (Pajero?) or equivalent 4X4 |:

Theres a Pajero down the road from me with a cannon on it.
Its rough as guts too.

That probably qualifies the poster for a 'Lack of General Car Knowledge FAIL', no?

I would love an RVR Hyper-sportsgear. EVO3 driveline, mini 4wd looking thing.

[Werd.]

The top models in certain markets used the drivetrain of the first Mitsubishi Galant VR-4; the 4G63T 2.0 L 16V DOHC turbo straight-4 mated to either a four-speed auto or a five speed manual. Open front and rear differentials were used. Power output was rated at 170–184 kW (231–250 PS; 228–247 hp).

Not bad... A mods would make that thing a fun shopping trolley.

For all of you who weren't there at the time of the accident, I will fill you in.
It was a rainy Thursday night, and I was driving home from a mates place, and another mate was following me. I came to a give way intersection near the Story Bridge,
and I stopped as traffic was coming up the road. My mate was STOPPED behhind me. Then he was hit from behind by a Commodore, which pushed his car into mine.

Ever thought that the driver could have already used the brakes, with brake lights to stop the car.
He then might be on a flat level surface and getting ready to take off from the set of lights, or just creeping forward.
Probablr a little hard to do drive 3 pedals with 2 feet. I suppose the people bagging me drive auto's, and also drive with 2 feet, and the left foot constantly
left on the brake!!
I can see if my brake lights work everytime I take my car out of the garage, (I start the car, and check the glow in the garage with the brakes on. I have NEVER replaced
the brake light switch, or had it adjusted. I know the brake lights work. I wouldn't drive it if they didnt, as I have another 2 cars at my disposal to drive!

Read reply to Mr Hardware's post...

Correct, someone who has driven a manual car...

I often do the same, or if I am on level ground waiting, and I see approaching traffic, I will have my foot on the brake until they are stopped.

That car belong's to OED I'm sure... Or Rollin... and it's also manual so he probably had the clutch in at the time

imo its crap, but it does the potential i guess?

i pretty much always have the brakes on at the lights, and ive never warped a disc yet.

I did have an RBS EL GT kit on at the time, and the rotors warped within a few thousand k's.

Could be about to move of if the light's are about to go green ?

Could be many different reason's why ?.

But if it is indeed a manual then I could see why he might not be on the brakes.

have your foot on the brake, doesnt take half a brain to figure that out, my god.

Swearing in this burnout fail clip - but worth turning the volume up to hear Captain Obvious chime in.

This vid may just have it all...

Mum stacks the bike. Runs into Grandma in the wheelchair, knocking her **** over. Mum farts trying to get up. Dad gives it to Mum doggy style whilst she's scraping Grandma off the deck. Enjoy.

Not bad indeed...I'd still like to know what's under the bonnet.

What the hell is with the under-tyred look that people do to cars...? Most people are worried enough about kerbing thier wheels, without purposely making the rim the widest part of the wheel by fitting undersized tyres...looking at the picture, the wheels don't look any wider than the Supra wheels on my Celica...it appears the only reason the rear wheels especially hang out like that is the weird offset he has chosen.
This is how you do it...


...of course, fat 14" tyres are getting hard to find nowadays in anything but wallet-destroying prices for specialist sports makes...


I also notice that he has a JAF (Japan Auto Federation) badge on the grille. I have a sticker on the back window of my Celica from them as well. They're a very big Japanese motor sports organisation set up way back in 1962, still going strong today.
Speaking of stickers, yes, the extremely keen eyed may have noticed the KISS Army sticker in the lower left corner of the rear window...but you probably have to be of a certain age to recognise that shape...*ahem*...

[OED666]

how come the last 4 pages of this thread no longer work???

FAIL!!!

EDIT... Now that I posted, they show up...




Still waiting on some replies to my post!! You guys were all quick to ASSUME before, but now have nothing to say!

[|Nate]

Well I say;
I'm jelly of your car,
that Commodore driver was a ******,
give me your brakes and rims please,
and once again, ridiculously nice car

A FAIL (burnout) followed by a WIN (breaking a commodore)

[Mitch89]

There was a weird sound just as the first burnout was finishing, sound of things to come.... I wouldn't consider that a win, an SS Sportwagon is a pretty nice car (better looking than that SS sedan IMO).

The traction control might have been on in the first attempt perhaps?

Thanks.. worst thing was the Commo driver took off... We tried to find him, as he ran into the back of a Hilux, with a Towbar... We had a small bit of green body work on the Hilux, but that was it. :(

Karma will come and get him!

[martinijosh]

Saw an R32 today.... big sticker on the back that said "JDM AS F * C K" and the number plate was "32 JDM"

Nissan is Japanese? HOLY SHEET I DID NOT KNOW!

[smoo]

epic fail - kiwis in the 1980s and 1990s thinking it was a good idea dropping gutless jappa diesels into Commodores, my flat mate trying to get a wheel going/kill his VK, two fails in one.

Can't say I saw the driver, or any P plates for that matter. I did see his girlfriend though.

[bigmanny]

I just spent the last 3 hours in this thread lol. I seriously think it may well be the best thread on ANY forum!

He has a friend in New Zealand. Who put a japanese diesel motor in his commodore. He then tries to do a roll back burnout - and it doesn't work.

Fail burnout and fail motor choice.

Geddit!?
