"A 41-year-old was nearly killed when a heavy bluestone block was dropped from a Melbourne freeway overpass into his truck windscreen."

I hope the people that did this get run over or struck by lighting or something. 23 KILOGRAMS! just ridiculous

what do you think?

driving on the eastern the otherday i could see kids up on top of one of the overpasses wearing masks and holding bottles - when i saw them i put my foot down a bit, didnt want some idiot throwing a bottle at my car =/

amazes me why they dont spend i dunno 10K and put camera's at the overpasses of freeways...

oh wait no revenue so vic roads couldnt give a shit.

Thats bloody disgusting.

Kids these days, what were they thinking, or were they not thinking at all.

When i was like 12, we threw sauce sachets at buses/cars that was it, they didn't even break open, but it was pretty funny. but rocks, thats disgusting.

I work in that area and overnight we have only 2 police units covering about 8 suburbs. No wonder things like this happen and offenders don't get apprehended.

Few weeks ago it was fire bombs onto freeway and now large rocks. Won't be long until someone is killed by this dangerous stupid behaviour.

Call me paranoid but I already look ahead at pedestrian overpass bridges, to spot the little f**kers if they are up to no good.

I wouldn't be surprised if the people doing these types of things are (literally) mentally retarded. I mean there are pranks and then there is gross negligence.

i told my dad about this and he came with a rather good idea. these kids should be forced to enlist in the army and then maybe they'll get some sense knocked into them about the significance of ones life

just saw the guy that was driving the truck on t.v while reading this thread not good..I drive on that freeway every day.The people that did that should have that rock dropped on there hands till there smashed to bits..no more lifting rocks you stupid morons ..ahhhhhhhhhhh

Eh things are pretty f**ked up these days...not that im condoning in any what they did was ok...but 2 mates on seperate occasions have almost died to to truckie bullshit behaviour on roads.

So could be some sort of retaliation. But having said that it would be fairly hard to get your trajectory right with a 23kg rock if you were a kid? Maybe they have had practice, who knows.

I do the same thing. However night time it is hard to see if anyone is up there :P

    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
