Just looking at the pics again.... airbag wont be the only thing that will need replacing.
Check out the snail trail after the stump... might be up for a sump too perhaps...

And they say patience is a virtue... less costly too it seems....

Haha. An idiot P plater in a Dunnydoor. No surprise there. I hope he learnt a valuable lesson as a sump repair is not fun at all.

Love when that happens to impatient people!

Maybe, but then the council can fine him for driving on a footpath... and illegal dumping of oil and the clean up bill!

Out of that $1,000, you take out a years rego, full tank of petrol, 12 megapixel digital camera in the centre console and a new Garmin gps on the windscreen ... which leaves $150 for the car ... I'd say that's about right...

he needs to ring one of those wreckers now which picks up for free...

I don't think that will happen. Last time I looked, driving on the footpath because you are too impatient for a truck to turn would be frowned upon by the local constabulary. Mind you if he had been walking along and tripped over the stump, then yeah, he'd have a case against council, as it is a FOOT path.

Shazz

PS. Where can I get a great cam like this mounted in my Coupe????? I see so many idiots and close shaves with dolts like this every time I go out, I could have my own half hour weekly TV show.

I'm not sure whether to laugh, cry, or applaud him for his daring.




Love it or hate it, you have to admire his dedication.
