They didnt mention the car being an import or a high performance car, nor did they mention the drivers being young...

Therefore it must have been a ford laser filled with old ladies on their way home from the bingo hall...

See it just does not get the medias full attention does it...!!!

NOTE: Take my post with a gain of salt...

I saw a VT wrapped around a pole on Tuesday lunch time on the corner of Days & Lutwyche Roads...

It was a lady in her 30's and she was attending her daughter in the back of the car while driving at 60kph...

She could have gone through the front of the shops on that corner and killed people... Lucky there was a pole there, maby now they will put up a crash barrier... It made the news also, as the camera crews were there when i drove past...

Anyway this has nothing to do with this topic, but i felt like sharing anyway... :(

They reakon he was doing 100.

And Duporth Ave is confusing - it appears to be a 60 zone but it is infact a 50 zone. I used to live on it.

there was nothing left of the car, i reckon he was doing more than 100...police have no need to talk it up though, it wasnt a young person driving, nor was it a modified/import car. Most of duporth is unmarked and a built up area, therefor a 50 zone.

There was something left of the car.

It looked nowhere near as bad as the crash a few weeks ago in mountain creek. I'd put it at 120 tops - plus, where he crashed gave him about 100-150m of acceleration space if the newspaper was correct in identifying where he crashed (By the christian center).

dammit there goes out lil freedom whatever we had.. this is why Tracks are used for fooling around .. not many people understand that...

Niceest looking supra tho. shame its pretty much totaled

it's being fixed again, not a total write off.

but with the guy who hit the pole on duporth, it just goes to prove that u dont have to be 17 and own a high powered sports car to be a fool behind the wheel, i hope the police take notice of the facts that he was 30 and owned a family sedan.... then maybe they can start picking on the ppl who deserve it.

the sunshine coast daily article in regards to this was a joke. The police were winging about young ppl in fast cars, amongst other things about educating young drivers etc. It really did p*ss me off. I do agree with a lot of the things in regards to young ppl in fast cars and under educated drivers but if anything this only proves exactly what you have just said..you dont have to be 17 and in a high peformance car to have a crash and cause a fatality. Maybe the police should take a look at whats really going on and realise this too!

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
