VT Commodore bites the dust - P Plates + Wet road

[McobraR]

lucky that wasnt my VT. I think the main problem with the exec. is that the suspension is too soft, and the tyres too thin. its not too bad tho, sometimes i like letting the rear loose in the wet, which is pretty fun as long as there are no walls or anyone around. Tho i havent done that in a while it:

looks like a fair inpact glad eberyone was ok our benefit though another holden off the road!!

Idiot, if your going to pretend to be a fully sick driftah, do it in a controlled environment or a bloody abadoned Industrial Estate at least.

As for VT's being dangerous in the wet, ive found them pretty good, they are no where near as deadly as a VS or EB/ED/EF on steelies.

Did he get out shaking his fist as the traffic went by as well??

Ironic how he knocked the 50kph sign too.

Wonder how many times the phrase "my cousin is a bricklayer" was used.
Also, Fully Hektik Sik Uleh - I just stole those wheels and already they burst!.
Good ol Lidcombanon.

Would have been better if he hit a sign saying, "No Parking"

He are having a little chuckle because no-one got hurt.....plus its a Holden driving P Plater living up to htheir reputation of doing stupid things in inappropriate places.

If it was a Ford driver doing it we would be laughing....we'd be flaming his *** for being such an idiot.....

There is another thread in here somewhere where someone was caught speeding in the freeway, 127 in a 100 zone, and the "you idiot" comments were coming at him thick and fast !

See the thing is people on this forum understand the bigger picture. That is that idiots doing stupid ***** on the roads just gives car enthusiasts a bad name.

I agree mate.

I'm actually surprised that these morons had the ability, to pass their P Plate test, because their I.Q could be counted on my thumbs.

Car was a write-off. His dad after that bought him only a VT Exec after that.

You have to wonder who showed the greatest responsibility. the kid or the Dad?.

Or a VN-VP with 185's on the rear.

[Ringo]

Or a VL Wagon with 185/75 R14 tyres....that was an interesting trip.

I've changed from being a commodore driver a couple of months ago after falling in love with a fairlane, I've only just noticed lately how dangerous some of those commo guys are, had one overtake me at what i guessed was 140 on pennant hills rd (60 limit) the other day. Either he had really good breaks or a deathwish.

Goes to show they take a real thrashing though.

I don't have to be driving another car, to realise how many of them are idiots.

I saw a VN SS do atleast 120KM/H, in a 50 zone flying up a hill and have I been overtaken (Double lines btw) by impatient pricks in clapped out VLs,VNs,VPs etc.

These idiots, no matter what car they drive, don't deserve a licence. A licence is a privelege, not a god damn ticket to doing whatever the f*** you want and breaking the law.

You don't even need to be speeding to be a toss.
Just seen a BA XR8 with 20" rims that went under the guards by at least 2" This car must have been only a finger nail off the ground, I can't believe 2 things, 1 he hasn't bottomed out and broke something, And 2 the cops haven't nabbed him.

Agree slick, that's just plain stupid.
Lowering is one thing; dropping to the deck is just dumb when the car has to travel on normal suburban roads. Betcha he's the kind of guy who takes 5 minutes to go over a speed hump.
Love to see the look on the guys face when the service manager refuses to do any warranty work on the undercarriage for impact damage.

[Ringo]

^^ Or more likey - refuse the work because he can't get the car up on the hoist.

[Mechan1k]

damn ... this thread is still alive ... dunno why.

That's got nothing to do with it.

If he wasn't such an immature, selfish knob, it never would've happened in the first place.

What if there was a mother pushing a pram with a new-born passing by?

Ah well, one less Commodore with cheap alloys off the road can't be a bad thing :dr_Evil:

True But must admit it looks good but. I might know his area as we have crossed paths the same place i might see if i can snap a pic.
It takes me 10 seconds to pass a high speed hump. I just had my tranny serves and they had to drop the hoist. But this car couldn't be more then 3 DVD covers off the ground easy. It did look very show car.
