Default Demo Model anyone cheap!
This is what's left of a new VY HSV Clubsport at the Watson Holden
dealers in Bundoora (Victoria) after a 19 year old test drove it.
He was driving it back and was going WAY too fast around the corner,
up the gutter, travelled the 10 metres to the gates, and landed as
you can see.

I think this Holden dealership will re-think its company "test drive" policies!!!

Lucky it didn't land on its roof or the driver would have killed him/herself.

If he had been able to get some more speed up, he could have managed to land it on the awning roof!

I remember hearing about this when it happened. What if someone had just bought that silver BMW, then they walked out and saw that?
