It just needs a good cut and polish !!!!

LoudPipes · 01-12-2014, 12:29 AM

Looks like normal wear and tear to me.

usernametaken · 01-12-2014, 09:21 AM

Not saying anyone died, but if they didn't they were hurt.... badly.

Perhaps some here need to find a bit of respect instead of cracking lame gags.

Nobody may have been hurt. It might have been parked unoccupied at a mine site and either got backed over or rolled into the pit. But if anyone can confirm that someone was killed or seriously injured perhaps the mod could delete the thread.

Might have been run over by a mining dump truck.

Is it done prior to auction or does the new owner do it?

When my son was killed in a car accident the car was covered and held in an impounding yard. After the inquest it was crushed.

You’re comment to start with was plain silly.

usernametaken · 01-12-2014, 12:58 PM

Sorry, but I have cut many, many seriously hurt (and deceased) people from cars that have minimal/no blood.

Blood doesn't always equal death.

All I said was have some respect - no one knows how it happened. Posts like 'normal wear and tear' and then mocking those that ask you to show some respect are not really appropriate... are they?

I'm sorry for your loss, but that only goes to show that you really should know better.

If not for yourself, but for others that may have lost loved ones in accidents.

For most people laughter in the face of adversary is a common human trait and also a coping mechanism at times of sadness.
Almost all comedians rely on it.
I’m sure if the thread had made a mention of death or injury all the comments would be different.
At my age we have experienced many highs and lows in life and learn to get on with it.
Do be so uptight.

usernametaken · 01-12-2014, 01:38 PM

The thread has made mention of death, and you mocked it, hence why we are having this discussion now (comedians also have higher instances of depression as well - so you're example of laughing it off is not the best).

Not everyone shares the same coping mechanism as yourself...

All I'm saying is please be respectful of that in future.

I'm calling BS on that XR6 Taco and speedo Jam, they are electronic gauges

That is the correct engine rpm for that given speed. Have been there many times. If it was freewheeling the revs wouldnt be spot on?

The SES generally gives them a hose out, but thats about it.

could be telltale gauges???
Big enough impact stops them where they were at the hit so the manufacturer doesn't get the blame???

commodorenutt · 01-12-2014, 10:15 PM

Could have also lost traction prior to impact, which would give a false (higher) reading if the driver was stil l pressing the accelerator.

I once purchased a mint set of BF LTD seats for a steal. Showed it off to my mate and he asked me what's with the bloodstains behind the rear headrest. I nearly fainted and tore that interior quicksmart out of the car and flogged it off at the local wreckers.

Definitely the case for BA MK2. Mine stopped at 70kmh. The impact speed (on an 80k road) when I had a head on with a colour-blind moron who thought a red arrow meant go (or simply ignored it because he was racing his mate....)

I think it's actually to do with how the gauges work - if you remove power to them, they don't return to zero like traditional mechanical gauges used to. A sudden cut in power on impact and they probably stay where they were last at.

There was nothing to be respectful of, there was no evidence shown in the link that any injuries had occurred, just a badly damaged vehicle.

The fact a thread poster mentioned someone may have been injured or killed doesn’t make it so.

Without coping mechanisms and being able to laugh we’d all be hung up like you.

And when you get to 76 like me you’ll find death is a big part of life and frequently occurring around you, it's not something hidden in a cupboard not to be talked or joked about.

You’re taking an unreasonable moral stand about a throw away comment like as if I’d spat in someone's face. Grow up.

That’s not something I’m aware of.

My son’s car was in the Police impounding yard and it sat there covered with a tarp for months.

There had to be an inquest as he hit a tree after his girlfriend broke up with him and suicide was a factor.

I was present at the accident site and I can tell you the car was a mess in the worst kind of way and the image of the interior will go to the grave with me.

It was upsetting for my wife and our family to know it was sitting in the yard for so long and as soon as the inquest was over I asked the police what could be done about it.

They had a truck pick it up and it was sent to a crusher.

I would have torn someone a new one if it had been sent to auction or to be parted out.

And ‘usernametaken’ thinks I’m disrespectful.

In my case it would have been me getting aggresive with the windscreen washer guy. That's the last windscreen he will be washing for a long time. (sorry to all you honest windscreen washers out there).

usernametaken · 02-12-2014, 08:18 AM

It's those 'throw away' style comments that hurt people the most.

What if that photo was of the accident involving someone from your family?

Would you be so flippant then?

With age obviously doesn't come maturity.

The SES don't carry hoses nor tanks.

No one hoses them out - that's tampering

Fire brigades will only wash away blood etc... off the road after MCI have finished taking photos and measurements.

The cars are left alone to be towed to impound yards for analysis.

Ok your answer makes the most sense, but I'm used to Gauges returning to zero if the power is removed, but I still don't think it could be an accurate measure of time of impact, as you say wheel spin,

PS I'm colour Blind, id go with racing his mate
