Restored Datsun 1600 Stacks It Last Night

[S13Deviat]

you know what is far worse? people who condemn the speeding, after the accident, because they never speed. not once has there been a bit of stick given on the streets by these saints. even at 24yo, with their newly built car.

cmon !!! get real !!! i'm so sick of hearing it.

of course, i dont condone speeding on the street. but simply put, be realistic ... @^#%#*!!!!

do you think you're scoring brownie points? next time the cops pull you over, are they gonna say, hmm its weevil, left him off with a hand job ?!!!!

If your so sick of hearing it, why put your nose in it by reading it?? Additionally, do you honestly think that your outburst will change current and furture readers opinions!? Just like someone cutting you off in traffic and you blowing your stack at them (road rage spec). Do you honestly think the driver is going to learn a lesson by you abusing them just like your above post? I think not, they will continue to do it time and time again.

So in short, mate, everyone is entitled to their thoughts, ways and opinions, if they are to you disliking, so be it, but move on, your not going to be able to change opinions.

Simply, don't bother reading it in the first place. Secondly, don't stoop to a pointless aggressive retort.

If they do it time and time again they should be shot

Back on topic...poor datto. From what that article says it sounds like brake failure. No skids heard at all.

Media wont mention that part though cause its a P plater...

RIP

All in all .. At least he passed in what he loves or loves doing .. can you ask for much more? He didnt get cancer, drown or burn to death .. I would complain to much.

RIP Bud.

I have to say, its pretty obvious P platers are going to cheaper older cars to get a bigger buzz from driving. That or vtec neways

Hiya Connie,

Thanks for the full report!

I usually pick up these abbreviated news reports on radio early in the morning - sorry. Yeh I only picked up the quick verbal.

One day when I'm really 2/3 asleep, I'll remember 2 stories such as i) a dog bite and ii) a crazy driver and THEN...,

I'll end up joining the two into iii) a crazy dog driving hehe.

And what's going on here anyways? I come back home, and there's a 'barney' going on as I open this 'door'...

[Munkyb0y]

yeah well, you shouldnt have left us in here unsupervised.

If your so sick of hearing it,

YOU'RE !!!!!

everyone is entitled to their thoughts, ways and opinions

exactly. so sit quietly while I express myself

don't stoop to a pointless aggressive retort.

there was no aggro involved. weevil knows that, I know that, but for some reason, I need to explain this to you, why?

If his list of "loves" includes hitting trees in a car he was restoring, and injuring his friends (because that is what he was doing), then it's not big loss.

I can't say I'd have those things as passions. But then I like my car, and I like my friends.

If I got out of my car and cut sick at some idiot who carved me up, causing them to (metaphorically) shit their pants, it's quite possible that fear of getting the shit kicked out of them would encourage them to not risk a further confrontation and drive more conscientiously.

Fear is an amazing tool for control. Our entire legal system is based on it.

^ Very very very true..

Apparently, his Mom is absolutely beside herself (understandably) - but before he took it out, and even during its reconstruction, she called it a "Killing Machine". Mom's terminology of course - which 'between the lines' means 'I don't think you're experienced enough to handle such power son'!

He supposedly spent $50K on it - hmmm.

Good call, add religion to that (fear) and you can see how whole societies are controlled.

Yeah I don't get it.

If he had hit a family of four, instead of a tree and only killing himself, he'd be a wanker, but because he only injured himself it's somehow noble?

Gimme a fu(kin break.

I'm not saying that I or anyone else here are angles and that we never speed, but I'm not going to give the guy a wrap for going out doing what he "loved".

Yeah not hard on a top notch resto!!

I see it all the time with my work

[FATAZZ]

so was it a stock standard 1.6l or not?

[Beer Baron]

i thought the worst part of this whole thing is how the media uses it. i was unlucky enough to catch their interview with the kid's mum and that was just horrible. they should leave the poor woman alone. she was completely beside herself and irrational. the whole thing was gross. no one needs to see her private grief.

I myself feel that the majority of accidents are caused by inexperience. I've been in some cars doing some pretty decent speeds over the years and I don't think it was luck that I'm still alive it was that the people driving were extremely experienced and were in total control. Before some of you start reading too much into that I'm not saying It's safe to speed I'm just saying some people can speed and pull it off and some like this poor 24yr old can't.

I'm all for paying extra on my rego to fund compulsory defensive driving courses and any other independent courses out there that might help keep people alive.

Hiya,

I like your post = attitude.

When I was in my 20s, I thought that life was a God-given right rather than a responsibility.

I only slowed down somewhat when I was impatient with traffic as we passed Bankstown Airport.

Lane 3 was hogged, and I switched to lane 1 to pass on the inside, but knowing that there was another car further ahead, I switched back to lane 2. The trouble was, a bikie followed my weaving and ran out of room in lane 1. The motorcyclist was OK, but his bike was a scrunched up. Yes, I'm a visual person, and it took a visual (rather than theory or audio ie. lecture) to teach me a lesson.

I kind of agree with both of you. Inexperience when driving a car at high speed on the road ends in the inevitable. An accident that either kills you or teaches you a lesson. It took writing off a car that I loved, and nearly killing a couple of mates of mine for me to learn the lesson of driving WITHIN REASON on the road. A lot of other people learn the lesson before having to experience a serious accident themselves. The rest either have an accident and kill themselves, or crap on about the people who have learnt the lesson when they try to stress that reckless speeding on the streets is a fuching stupid idea. It's pretty easy to spot the people on this forum who haven't learnt their lesson yet. Let's hope they live to learn their lesson and not splatter themselves around a telegraph pole like I nearly did!

[s13_Skyline_inside]

50 zones are a bad place to speed anyway and especially on northern beaches, the back roads are pretty thin, and you don't have much warning if anything is going to pop out onto the road, and back road's arent usually in good condition, ie pot holes, the bloke could have given it a bit of a squirt bounced abit on a deformity in the road, car has bitten and speared of into the trees unfortunately, if the car was rego'd he might have taken in on monavale road and had a bit more of a chance.

oh and btw adgey that's a classic avatar, completely random

[adgey]

I'm definitely in the group of learnt my lesson, having a head on with a tree is nothing short of humbling haha and I definitely learnt NOT to go head on into trees.

Road conditions are another thing experienced drivers learn to test before pushing them to the extreme.

s13 thanks for the comment I LOL'd at it many a times! Still cracks me up.
