From another forum:

Well I dont know where... but the story (if true) was that the cop car had just over taken the semi and just pulled back in when they noticed an emu standing on the road, so the coppers braked to a stand still and the truckie had no where to go

you mate. are truely a f**k head.

I agree

^^^then wats up with the snow? ( excuse my stupidity)

The snow is in fact foam from the fire extinquishers that the QFRS would have used.

Lucky to survive if they did

Cheers

Isnt the law to not stop for animals on the road anyway?

I hope all the people were ok. Cops might have been. They would have coped (pardon the pun) across a fair bit of surface area (their backs) would have been much like 'tower of terror' or something.

The truck driver, I dunno, the truck looks pretty bad.

The Emu, I dont care, they are nasty, ugly, pointless birds, and there are heaps of them.

yeah, law is to pwn any animals in your direct path.. but i think its safer to swerve / stop for an emu.. its likely to infilct a fair bit of damage to the car too.. problem is when u compare law to morals..

Snow....... It's foam, the fire dept use foam instead of water for these types of fires, can you see a fuel tank, no niether can I so I am assuming the fuel went everywhere, lucky it did not ignite if you ask me.......

Cops have freinds and family too, and nobody deserves to lose a loved one.

OK lets shead some truth on the story. Cop car was hit while stationary on the side of the road. Both officers were out of the car. Only the truckie was taken to hospital with non life threatening injurys. Got to love a good story though :wave: Emus :thumbsup:

Police estimate the truck hit the car at about 80kmhr. Police officers sh#t themselves in .5 second when they turned around and saw that! Have a number of friends in the QLD force and they all agree very lucky boys! Forgot to ask them where it was.

Cheers

Even though the truth has now been told. Personally, I would go for the emu over the truck. My ever so basic knowledge of pyhcis tells me, the truck has a f'load more inertia than the emu.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
