Not sure this one would be eligible for a safety cert haha.

Half the other headlight was missing and quarter panel almost touching the wheel.
I only got the one photo as I was trying to be discrete

The photo doesn't really do it justice, it looked a lot more bent in person.

Didn't manage to get a photo, but I saw a black b series xr6 with a giant 3 legged wing and a sticker on the window that said "nice WING rice boy!"

That white VT just has the Drift look lol!!!

Fled74 · 07-01-2011, 12:50 AM

This has to be a ****take, surely?

Must be, would be impossible to drive, any throttle would just tear them apart.

Wish i got it on film!
Me and a few mates where chilling at the superwash tonight which is on the corner of the big main round about in the bay, we do it whenever the road is wet cause when we're all there watching the cars go past, most of em do drifties around the roundabout to show off and its a good show!

Till one of our mates girlfriends leaves in her VT commodore, trys drifting off the roundabout and bloody locks the brakes and straight over the median strip she goes, got the car on three wheels and some crazy air!! before driving back over it and driving away quick smart
Here's the damage (to the gutter)

You can see where she started locking up the brakes, this part is slightly downhill so the car naturally drifts coming off it if you have a bit of gas.

This was my effort yesterday.
Not a car - obviously, but automotive related.

I'm really angry with myself, and the idiot in the semi trailer that was parked right on top of the driveway I needed to turn into.
Couldn't swing around him, which forced me to keep going down a dead end street, find somewhere to turn around, and then resulted in this:

Was a good metre or so off a cement block placed on a footpath (this was in an industrial area).
What I didn't see was the rusted reinforcement bar sticking out of it, and caught it when the tail swung around.

Didn't smash the lights, or bend any of the frame underneath which is lucky, but it's still going to be a pretty time consuming repair.
Hopefully it'll be resprayed along with the coach that one of the other drivers clocked on a vehicle in the yard a few months ago.

At least Dad and the boys were good about it. These things happen, and it's the first time I've hit anything in a bus.

You need the rest of the pictures in the story of the humvee....
Pretty sure the humvee is a horse carriage, it has no engine.
Have seen other pictures which shows one being towed by horses and the roof opens up... Id imagine this is that same er... vehicle.

Do you mean this one?

Update: I Googled the wooden-wheeled Hummer and apparently it was made for some kind of advertising promotion in London.

Hmm

Story behind this is some smart guy trying to run a red light, ended up hitting the parked van into the kerb and whacking the sign next to it.

Gee those VS Commo's hold up pretty well after whacking a parked van and a sign. Seen a VE in a similar accident with bonnet crumpled, front bar sagging and one headlight broken.

The VE is designed to crumple...

Epic fail?

Why take photos of someones crashed car in the first place, it's ther misfortune and your trying to get a kick out of it?

Lets wait till you crash your car...

The fail is the fact people still drive their smashed up cars which are not longer roadworthy..... and they keep doing it until their car is forced off the road by police or transport dept officers.

They fail because they dont care about their car or the fact that it looks like its been in a demolition derby....

If they cant bothered to fix it why do they own it?

Plenty of people drive there cars until they are fixed, the fail is in jumping to conclusions.

Some poeple only have one car, and don't have all the cash under the sun to repair a car as soon as its damaged. Not to mention the delay in quotes/assessment, dealing through insurance, booking in cars, arranging for a second car/lone car, waiting on parts...

ZA-289 · 07-01-2011, 09:08 PM

OMG they are off the shelf Hella truck lights.

What a disgrace, I guess that option would be cheaper than fixing the rusty panel + finding good tailightsbut seriously....

10 bucks says that is full of b o g.

Failed elanour rear-end treatment with truck hella taillights?

Those elanour taillights look like they came off a semi-trailer.

Anyway apparently the car has a new owner and he's looking to have the rear end returned to original following the cheapie rust repair.
Heard it is a rare car being a column auto GS coupe.
