Western Australia? Mines? A lot of them guys get salaries that could buy one gtp for a daily and another to sit in the shed and polish all from one yearly wage,
Couple years ago when the boom was in its height at orange a lot of p players were getting around in brand new falcons and commodores |

If you are gonna take out a Holden with a GT at least pick something a bit more expensive.

If i could afford 80k to buy my son a car, why would i buy him a sheetbox?
Guess these days your a toss bag for buying your son a nice car, and your sons a bigger toss coz "daddy" bought him a car.

Regardless if it was the dads or the sons I'm sure the son owns it now..

Supercharged V8 RWD with a inexperienced P plater is not going to end well quite often.There are plenty of other nice cars you could buy your inexperienced son. But of course this article says nothing about who owns or bought the car. |

I used to live about 200m from where this happened and that whole section is like a race track, day or night. Same as the Camberwarra Drive loop right near it. It is actually part of the reason we ended up moving. There used to be a White VE Ute that smoked it up all the time and an EB XR8 that did donuts and attempts at power skids around the place. This latest accident really doesn't surprise me in the least.
