.

was that a ute??

I could be wrong,but I think its a write off !!

Dab of glue here....another dab there and a little polish:sandrine

maybe. But the GenIII V6 is just ripe for a T3 conversion

yeah, trees in general need to be avoided.........

this guy got out of his RS6 twin turbo after a loose at 250km/h, and called for a tow on his mobile...LUCKY dude!

Its about time the government put up signs warning motorists of where trees cross the road so motorists could avoid potential hazards.

those are some scary photo's. some people are very very lucky.

makes me think of what could have happened in my youth (not the drinking bit but certainly speed and inexperience + old cars)

hmmm i think they could all be restored by a dedicated auto fan

I reckon the remainder of the ute could be made into a trailer!!:P Bit of welding here and there and way you go!!

As for Holden making a GENIII V6???? Don't you mean V8?? or is it a V8 with 2 cylinders missing LOL

I'm just quoting spoooko. I know someone who fell out of a car door belting around a roundabout in the shire, Apperantly he popped up thinking it was pretty cool. Maybe numb brain cells are harder to kill than active ones.

Not like the inactive ones who mentioned GenIII V6. I was meant to type V8 but was probably thinking about someones supercharged V6 T3 at the time.

I was in the passanger seat of an old ej holden when we hit a pissed lady wearing black walking up the middle of the road at 1030pm.

Made a sizeable dent in the ej, punted her clean out of her sandals, throught the windscreen in front of me and then flipped over the roof and hit the ground like a sack of excrament. Broke one of her legs but that was it. Loose and soggy helps the low injury count.

When I was an Ambo we saw many pissed ppl get out of incidents they shouldnt have. Some didnt though......
