Burnout Mishap

[alex182]

Yesterday at 3:40pm just after school, i was walking down new street when a white holden ute stop in the middle of the road. Cars stop and line up almost to the end of church street and the guy starts to do a burnout. judging from the group of people around, laughing there asses off at this poser (like me), noone thought this guy was the least part "cool". he does one, then goes for another one, somehow he reverses into a red golf behind (why was his car in reverse, then again i have no idea how to do a burnout). His tow bar gets lodged in the poor golf then the guy tries to drive off pulling the golf about 10 metres down the road... what was this deackhead thinking?

hahaha gold... that's a street away from me and I missed it! damn I always miss fun stuff...

was walking down to get some breaky a couple of weeks back and a tool in a Audi RS4 kept booting it around the roundabout on church and st andrews... like full bore launching this thing down crowded streets... he was obviously showing off to his mate in the passenger seat but seriously, not a great place to demonstrate the cars 0-100km/h time!

ps. it fully chirped 2nd though

So the Golfer didn't like being pulled off?

Sounds kinda like the opposite to Tiger Woods.

No? Nothing? Not even a giggle? Urrrrrrrrgh. I hate my life.

Poor Golf driver. Hopefully they went to the police and filed a report of what happened. The guy deserves charges.

I saw a tool in the side streets of richmond between Swan and Church being a hero in his.... wait for it.... Toyota Sera! Yes that's right, his ultra high performance SERA!!! it was wet and I was behind him and all of a sudden he slows to a complete stop, next thing he revs it's tits off and dumps the clutch and does a burnout up the road, keeps flooring it then gets to the first of 3 roundabouts and decides to power on half way through it.... So instead of going around the round a bout he goes in a straight line because his wheels are just spinning trying to get traction, BANG! Straight into lamp post! Dumbass! I lol's and left him there. He was ok but the car which is nearly all glass was not doing to well.

We've had lots of Hero's like this lately. 2 of them died the other day and 5 the other week. When will people learn...

I feel sorry for the person in the Golf. What hope did they have.

I don't know why they bother anymore. I don't think anyone actually cares anymore. Watch for 2 seconds to work out what the noise is. Mumble something like. What a tool then go back to what your doing.

I used to work with a bloke for a short time who would go out and buy a set of 18" tyres for his zorst and chipped EA (ish?) Falcon XR8. He on average had a set of tyres for about 4 weeks (sometimes less) before he replaced them. EVERY TIME.

Beyond a joke really. Seen one burnout seen them all. (except for an awesome oldschool rx7 burnout I saw on the net about 10 years ago (A proper burnout comp though)

Saw a dude in an au xr8 decide to drift round a corner when I left the cinemas after watching daybreakers, got very sideways and missed 2 chicks by not much more than a meter didnt get his plates though

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

saw an epic one a couple of years ago... some dickhead tried to powerslide his BRAND NEW (like 1 day old) cv8 munro round the sliplane onto kings way from albert road....

he got it way more sideways that he expected and.... right as the car was about to kick back......

HIT THE BRAKES!

he scandy flicked it into a pole @ 60kph, but was lucky enough to hit just behind the door...

i was literally crying when we saw that no one was hurt...

I was on Vic Cruise Club recently and they were trying to organize a track day which I was all for. However one of the Commodore drivers said "will there be a burnout pad? Track is boring, who wants to go around in circles? Spinning on the spot bouncing off the limiter is where all the fun is to be had."

[alr33x]

should we start a thread for every awesome burnout, failed drift, near miss we see? i could flood the forum with the stuff i see.. but really are things that boring for you their is nothing better to discuss?

That's because they know that the imports will destroy them

Why are there so many Commodores cruising down Chapel St? Because there's no corners

They don't learn because tend not to learn from other people's experiences; only their own.

People who drift on the street seem to think that public roads are perfectly maintained surfaces like racing tracks and that if you lose control the worst that will happen is a hard bump like in a go kart. It usually takes a bad car accident to make someone realise a metal cocoon isn't much better than hitting the bitumen off a motorbike.

[bozodos]

except for the fact that you're 38 times more likely to die on a motorbike

[Birds]

Not when you're doing stupid things in a car...

Also that statistic is largely influenced by the chance of the initial impact happening in the first place though, and what happens after the impact. Factors like motorbikes not being easy to see, motorcyclists doing stupid things, not wearing enough safety gear, cars running over fallen motorcyclists...result in those statistics. IMO I'd rather come off a motorbike properly geared up with kevlar and a helmet than have a pole come through the side of my door in a car and put bare skin to metal/glass.

And then there are the people who dont learn at all. My Brothers friends case and point, got P's, borrowed brothers car, wrote it off, borrowed mums car wrote that off, all this in less than 3 months. Or his other idiotic friend who wrapped his Xr6 turbo around a pole got paralysed from the waist down, then got another Xr6 turbo with his payout decked out with hand controls before rolling that on a residential street. Some people just never learn and never will.

lets not even TRY to pretend bikes are safer than cars....

[evade]

perfectly maintained surfaces like racing tracks

no way! since when!

LOL. I like this one.. still, there's plenty of imports cutting chap laps too
