Yowch!! That would have been interesting to watch topple!

Yesterday morning driving through Rouse Hill, just coming up to the Ettamogah pub on that side of the road was an old Rodeo (i think) cab chassis ute and in the back piled about 6 feet high above the tray was alllll sorts of junk and trash it looked like he's been council cleanup prospecting.

So he's got so much crap in the back its done what that Commo ute did with the sand/concrete in the boot and completely snapped the rear end resulting in one royally stuffed ute! Wish I had time to turn around and get a pic

He could have landed on that old yank tank, but noooo, he's got to go and look like he's about to land first on a nice Triumph Stag (Ok Ok...I'll admit they're really only nice after you do the common old mod of junking the useless V8 they had and fit a little reliable Holden 253), and onto the two door Val!!! Noooo!!!

In fact it's got more power than the kingswood as well as less seating capacity and less storage space. May as well be sent to the crusher.

Yeah that wagons no fail - pipes are pretty damn big though, I can't see how having twin 6in tips helps although the flames it'd shoot would be good

Hey Staunch is back!! That thing plowed into the wall at 2009 Powercruise in Sydney - on FULL throttle. The throttle got stuck open during a cruise session on the 3rd corner I think it was, hurt some of the occupants

I think it's a VK...that slotted panel in the C pillar gives it away. We had a VK Calais many years back and had to do a rust repair behind the plastic panel that goes over the top of that part.
