looks like an alfa......................hope its not any we know http://au.news.yahoo.com/a/-/latest/5511550/men-dead-highspeed-car-crash/ r.i.p
Doubt it is any one we know as it was a high speed crash most likely with Police in persuit. Probably a stolen car. You don't cut a car in two doing a few k's over the speed limit.
I don't think it was stolen. That area gets a lot of "street racers"... Wait n see... Still sad to hear, having witnessed myself a GTR wrapped around a pole, not a pretty site
An Alfa 156 4 door - hope it wasn't the beautiful 156GTA I saw at Bankstown airport yesterday, probably not, as the engine looks like a 4 pot.. Papers say it was 2 foreign students. Pretty dumb - wet road, high speed, no surprises at the result.
appropriate choice of words.......... BTW, welcome back fromt the land of long white cloud. Would love to hear you pronounce some of those Maori names.
Cops are saying they think they were OS students. http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,25364148-5001021,00.html
Just had a mate over and I showed him that story and pics. He also told me that a few years ago when he was still living in Gympie and working for the Gympie Council, he saw a VS Holden Statesman V8 wrapped around a tree. The car was around 1 metre off the ground, touching end to end around this tree! They predicted the car was doing around 200 km/h as it crashed and all 5 passengers were killed instantly.......of course.
Nah, that happened a few months earlier. This was a green car. These were P platers(engaged to be married) that clipped a 4wd down Millperra Rd across the road from Bankstown Airport. Apprently they were racing another car that left the scene. Here is a pic of the carnage but this is much later, when I drove past it was still wrapped around the pole was a few days b4 Xmas as well Image Unavailable, Please Login
It was the only way to describe that car before and after that accident... oh and thanks... but that will never happen! , couldnt do it when i was there, still cant do it now...
What do they say. "If only you could put an old head on young shoulders". I'm no saint as many on this forum are as well I am sure. I know I did some silly things when I was young. As you age you mellow. I sum it by saying as a youngster when driving I would wait till I got round the corner before worrying about what could happen. As I got older I now think what could be around the corner before I go around. The TAC are always looking at ways of scaring young kids and this picture Speedy is a good example, however the message isn't getting through. When you are young you always think that will never happen to me. Sometimes it does. Thats ok I struggled here in Oz. Quick story. I used to drive to Sydney a lot and always stopped a few times to rest. I tried to explain to people where I stopped and no one could understand me the way I pronounced it with a strong Kiwi accent (this is a long time ago, now I speak aussie). I said I stopped at "Gun dar gee" (say it as it is spelt). Still no one understood. I said the dog on the tucker box. They said oh you mean Gundagai.
