Lol, seems like "a current affair" is getting as bad as "today tonight" these days with their bullshit blown out of proportion stories that go for easy targets in the community.... i have just one thing to say..... There are always 2 sides to the story, and the one they show you will often be the wrong one!

Thanks for posting that link.

Yeah ACA do suck, Even if it was an audition for the role of stig was the driving in a controlled environment or just on a open public road?

Looked like a public road with a handycam and a 200sx.

I am not having a go at 'Carlo' or anything as I think it is a safe bet to say the majority of the memebers of this forum (including myself) have done something not so wise on the roads in the past.

my gf woke me up last night to show me that story, i called bullshit last night in my half-sleep. this just makes me angry, the flogged footage from youtube, slaped an exclusive logo on it and made up a story about it. lol

[R31Nismoid]

So nowhere does it state what was done, was not illegal?

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

Either way ACA are digging up shit from the past, claiming it new...

double negative ash

*hits*

ACA are continuing with this story tonight, just saw the ad...

Wasn't it done on a public road? Definitely looks like one to me. If that is so then it's still illegal whether it was for a top gear stig audition or not unless of course top gear Australia got written consent from the road authorities and they officially closed off the roads for it to be done. From the video i highly doubt that has happened. Thought and planning was obviously put in as they likely had spotters to watch for cars doesn't make it legal but.

rofl they have his plates. he's f**ked. while ACA are wankers for ripping a vid off youtube and calling it exclusive. they do have a good point, he's a f**kwit for doing that on public roads. he's just worsening our reputation... not like our rep is not f**ked anyway.

[dan_the_man]

that crazy carl!

1. The video appears on youtube in Sept. Hardly "only two parties had it". If it leaked, tough shit, that's the risk you take doing stupid things.

2. The video is indeed exclusive, ACA reported on it first.

3. There is no proof the road was actually blocked off, which sounds like the same type of "creativite" reporting ACA does.

Crikey are kidding themselves if they are going to get anywhere with that unfortunately.

[Silver_GT]

a vid stolen off youtube, specially one thats more than 2 years old, to be used by a news team can hardly be called an exclusive video, really, .... but r31nismoid the other two points you made are valid

No he is not, if you believe Boostcruising.

APPARENTLY, that vehicle was sold as a full race car last year, after he made that 'audition tape'. It is no longer registered to that owner.

So helping to track him down will be hard for ACA , if this is indeed true.
