This is the VX Commodore Executive of a year 12 student I mentioned earlier. Unfortunately I missed my opportunity to clandestinely take a photo of the front of it, but at least I got a picture of him taking off.


The car was filled with alcohol at that time too. They were celebrating their year 12 graduation. It's a shame there wasn't a breathalyser down the road.

It's probably worth noting that in QLD we graduate year 12 at the age of 17.

Haha, I can imagine the driver going "Hang on, why have I taken the Bentley? I was supposed to take... (Clarkson voice) the Jag."

You know how some people can't help it and talk with their hands.

I tried to get a pic of it, but today I was passed by a Toyota Lexcen. With the usual pop tart "zorst", ricer VR taillights and the crown jewel; a HSV sticker just above the lexcen badge on the boot....

Geez I love smashed taxi pics, should start a new thread dedicated to them.

About 6 months ago on the tulla freeway I saw a taxi run into the back on a taxi, laughed so hard I almost wet myself.

Yeah, smashed cabs are amusing at first, but after a while it gets a little sad. I'd hate to think of how many smashed cabs i've seen. They made a bazillion XW/XY/XA/XB/XC's, where are they now? I'd hate to think of how many were killed as cabs.

I saw a V6 auto VN today with a fart cannon and Chev badges.

Fail.

There was a HOLDEN sticker across the windscreen.

FAIL.

And it was for sale.

EPIC FAIL.

Oh and I almost did the same thing as that taxi, except I wasn't on a public walkway. I had to deliver a suitcase (I'm a courier) and drove down someones driveway, and stopped in front of their gate. Got out of the car and walked around the front to the other side to fetch the suitcase and fell down 5 stairs. They spanned the entire width of the driveway and were camouflaged in render. The front wheels were about 2 inches away from the top.

"****!"

These pics were taken about 20 years ago out the front of my mums nextdoor neighbours house.

An elderly ‘tourist’ lady (being politically correct and non racist) had swung into her drive way to do a ‘U’ turn, and instead of selecting reverse once in her driveway the appropriate distance, floored it, still in drive and mounted the letterbox and dividing fence. Bwahahahahahaaaaaaa

That was a good day.

Both win and a fail.

Win = Driver survived

Fail = Flogging a new RS6 along a narrow road, crashing into a tree.




BTW, i know its a old pic...but this thread seems to be more about picking on poeple (Oh know, a sticker on his car! etc) rather then showing Epic fails.
