40L of oil dumped on the road in Nasho. Was late Saturday night apparently. 2 cars written off.

Funny quote from the cops:

"One theory is that the oil might have been placed by car enthusiasts who have long used the Royal National Park as a night-time venue for illegal drag racing and drifting.

However, Inspector Rae said it was unlikely drifters were responsible.

''This is not a common thing for drifters to do,'' he said. ''They don't need to do that. They drift without oil.''"

LOL

WTF.

[oweban]

Well, at least drifters aren't being insulted for once. Much.

Two of my friends were out there at the time, they said the cars smashed was a blue/grey 180sx with black Rota wheels, the other was a white R33 gtst with HUSSU# number plates with stock wheels. They were not part of the convoy and did not know any of the guys involved.

Hopefully they and their cars will be ok and they won't be roped in with the 'convoy of high powered cars' that were there as well. Surprised the journos didn't make the association on the basis of the types of cars they were driving.

It was a nissan silvia "cruise" brah!

[Anz32GTR]

Hahaha classic. What corner is the oil spilt?? Gotta take it easy around that corner from now on.

[God_speed]

They just said "Sir Bertram Stevens Drive, near the Warumbul Road turn-off"

so it looks like that right-hand hairpin as you go south, shortly after you go over the causeway (not long into the drive after you leave Princes Hwy).

wonder if it was a bunch of haters? like haters of imports?

I have once been on a forum where they bag out imports so much, but keep posting up how they keep getting beatn on the street/track/strip etc.. but yet pay them out so much.

I derno.. just a thought

[God_speed]

That thought crossed my mind as well; that it could have been someone (who is pretty messed up) in a misguided attempt to "teach those hoodlums a lesson". Would have required not thinking about how it's just as likely some family wagon could've come round there though. And there aren't really any houses right near that corner to my knowledge.

or could it be an oil disposal truck took a short cut and and toppled some oil out ?

Yeah thats where it was, I drove through there today, there are still signs up saying 'oil on road' around that corner

[Tai1or Made]

What I was thinking.

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

What I was thinking.

makes more sense aye? who the fark carries around 8 bottles of motor oil in their boot

[GTR-N1]

water this afternoon won't be helping

need more than signs

need sand

tons of it

[God_speed]

Yeah except the article said the cops reckon the way it was put over the road looked very deliberate.

They put lots of sand down and a biker still slid over on it.

Wonder if the insurance companies of the affected drivers will be waiving the excess?

Someone tried to copy inital D.

Happened in one of the episodes!!
