Someone's pride and joy ruined by someone in a 4wd. Look at where that back seat ended up. I hope there was no one in that back seat. Here's another picture of the accident. That moron in the territory had a ride on lawnmower in that trailer that wasn't tied down and it ended up in the back of his own car. Lucky that no one in his/her own car wasn't seriously hurt.

The guy who owns that VL had a built VK stolen a while back, which gave him motivation for this VL, he had been building it for years and had only been on the road for one week.

Whatever he has built has always been reliable and strong!
Crazy????
I suppose so but he's just Miller to those who know him.
How crazy do you have to be to drive the actual car from Cairns to Canberra just to compete?

Regarding the VL that got rear ended hard. The car had only been on the road for a week prior to this. The 2 passengers who were in the back got out only minutes earlier to get into another car so they are very lucky. Such a shame this has happened and my heart goes out to Brendyn the bloke who owns the car.

Before...



After...

I feel sorry for the owner of that VL, no matter what brand of vehicle no one wants to see a very nice machine destroyed like that.
I am sure we are all mature enough to give our heart's to this poor fella.

I feel for the vl bloke, this is a shame when it happens.

i wonder how he will feel IF his insurance company wont cover him because the car MAY not be safe for road use and if the other persons insurance company only gives him $1500 for his vehicle being written off?

I'd say that having spent that much money on the car he'd be with Shannons or another specialised insurance company.

Yes, a lot off topic. And yes, it was reported earlier in this very thread - it is a ride on mower.

I am sure we all feel for the dude with the VL, but can we please move on and keep this thread as it was intended? Pictures of SummerNats is what it is all about.

I will be there tomorrow, so I should have plenty of pics to upload tomorrow night.

Cheers
