Got these photos last night, crashed out the front of my bosses house. Turns out its a young bloke who was on the turps and clearly lost control, hit the kerb got slightly airborn and face plants into the tree, which swung the back around and kinda parked him up in between the two trees.
I will be watching carefully to see if the wreck gets sold... Also our mate didn't have insurance...some people don't deserve nice cars. So as they say, this thread would be useless without pics..fortunately this thread is not useless:    |

OMG!!!
What a shame to see such a nice car go to waste. Just proves that it isnt only young commodore drivers that end up in this state. Notice how much the engine has been pushed back causing the exhaust to poke out the rear bar!!! Either that or he thougt it was full to have tips that far out. Boy would i love to get the driveline outta this beast, interior would go well in Mums car too lol.

I'll take the rear wing, rear bar an dthe side skirts please!
Seriously though how stupid was he to be driving a T3 on the booze with no insurance (not that it would have paid up since he was boozed up anyway). Waste of such a great vehicle.

Your second last line in your post REALLY gets me going mate!
How can you come to the conclusion that this bloke didn't "deserve" this car, i have heard it a fair bit lately when people are referring to a vehicle that has been written off that most bottom feeders can't afford, be it a T series, FPV, HSV. Who knows, maybe he did deserve it, and he drove it like it was designed to be, but obviously couldn't keep her under control in that situation. Most likely, He had a couple too many ales and drove it into a tree, that still doesn't mean he didn't deserve to have the car! Sorry to blow my top, but it had to be said. I still have a huge soft spot for this particular AU series vehicle, and i would not mind it keeping my F6 company in the same garage, especially in that color!! |
