Holy frOck. :cry:

:RIP: Walky.

I hope no one was in the back of the Walky at the time of the accident and all involved are ok.

That quad bike looks more like a ride on mower.

Anyone know any details of the crash.

I see he has a Shannons sticker on the windscreen, i hope he had insurance.

God I hope there weren't any passengers in the back seat. Can't see an Ambo so I presume everyone concerned got out OK.
Be hard to separate the plastic from the metal now.

Hope it wasn't a genuine Walky.

Not that it really matters that much but still it was someones pride and joy.

apparently the territory ran up the rear end at 80km/h, and he had just taken his 2 kids out of the back because it was rubbing, so luckily no injuries

Thats why i rekon big 4WD's are dangerous on the road! makes me sick when i see some wanker driving around in a huge shiny 4WD that you just know will never see the dirt.

P.s sorry if i offended you 4WD drivers! but its just my opinion.

Only thing more dangerous is towing a trailer with a car that cant hack it, and some of us cant afford multiple dailies to just let the big forby sit there untill we need to tow something.

Not sure whats worse..... this car gettin smashed, the Sidchrome promo girls gettin yanked out of a passing car and tops torn off, or the other promo girl getting king hit for not getting her tits out????


This is why i refuse to go to summernats untill its a totally dry event. And im a pisshead.

Cheers.

Such a shame, the car and summernats. Used to be such a great event. But i think its time the organisers realise alcohol and cars do not mix.

I went to several car events in America where they all sold alcohol, but there was no stupidity at all. Australia is just full of drunken bogans and douchebags and its ruining everything car related. It is as if people cant just have a few casual drinks while enjoying a car event, they need to be smashed off there face everytime. Thats just my opinion from what iv seen.

I agree with what I witnessed. I am totally amazed this event has been allowed to continue for all these years, (no doubt it was more wild years ago). I cannot believe people dont get hit/killed/injured by cars driving around whilst under the influence.

Alcohol free event would be fine in my eyes.

From what I witnessed, the attendents that I think have the most disrespect for the event are the non-australians or non-australian born residents.

This is why i refuse to go to summernats untill its a totally dry event. And im a pisshead.

Cheers.


I like to drink icy cold beverages also, however I had zero to drink at the event as I was to busy looking at cars. Isnt that what the event is about?

You dont have to be Australian born to be a bogan or a douchebag though.

That is why I have zero interest in that event. What is wrong with some people, in what universe do they think its ok to do that!!!
