That is comedy gold. The slipping crankshaft probably prevented the master cylinder from building up compression as well.

Probably caused by headlight fluid leaking onto the crankshaft seal, that would do it.

You don't want that. The brake paddle might bend.

Of course it's going to slip, he obviously didn't use friction modified oil like he was told to... normal oil is just so slippery ...sheesh ...

Oh we could really have some fun with this one but i digress.
At the end of the day, we share the same roads.
Nothing against people with limited mechanical skills (and to a certion point the people that work on them).
better stop here.. If you`ve ever had an `urban assault vehicle ` driven by wombats trying and kill you (usually driven by people not paying attention)
Dont get me wrong, I love 4+, but its getting a bit tedious trying to dodge em in traffic and i wont even start about carparks

Sorry bout the rant,maybe a little off topic but..

Not really a fail in my books.
So, he rear ended a blue car - a car with that minimal damage it was able to drive off.
The damage to that Nissan shows it was a very low speed crash anyway.

the way the bumper is hanging down, and the bonnet up, i dont think he was driving like that, looks like some reversed into him...

I had to do some work @ a power station ad here was several ethnic people that come from melbourne to make up the shortfall, what they were wearing when I seen them was fail enough who turns up to a 12 hour shift wearing wing tip shoues that curl up at the toe looking like a pixie shoe without the tastle? and who wears no jumper to an all nighter? and sprouts stuff like "the company will provide everything we need because we were told so" AND when found SLEEPING on shift they were reported as saying "well I need some sleep I have work in the morning" WTF! anyhow the CARS I don't have any pictures but I will try to explain the number one contender was a molested EF basemodel falcon sedan that had a vn commodore nose shoe horned onto it somehow, b series side skirts and a bootwing that stood taller than the roof, I felt sorrow for the car it was so tastelessly "modified" I was able to talk to the owner whos accent indicated he got to australia yesterday, as best as I can tell he had the work done himself to an ex taxi, and he is going to put it back in the shop to get it lowered, I use the term "shop" very loosely here I think he meant he is going to take it to ethnic backyard haxbois car destroying. I looked inside this car and he had painted the inner door trims and fitted seats I have never seen before and I hope I never see again. I didn't think of taking pictures of the car because I was too busy choking on my own vomit. That car is hands down the worst Ford I have ever seen, and imho it would give the widebody turdus a REAL run for the trophy of ugliest car ever. The thing was so tacky it wasn't funny he removed the ford badges and fitted holden ones to it as well, SS badges it had a quad tip fart cannon exhaust setup under it (3 pipes were fake) it truly was horrid on a whole new level.
