Most of you will have seen this by now......

Spotted on the way to work this morning, Brighton Rd, Parnell.... driver taken away in an ambulance but is rumoured to be ok.... came round a blind corner in a residential area (speeding) and tried to avoid a queue of traffic, with the result being clearly shown below:

Picture links removed, the owner obviously didn't like them being linked.

Don't they have a Space-Saver up the front that has been designed as part of the frontal impact system ?

Hmmm, wonder if he'll sell me the engine and transaxle...

It would be a great replacement for the Chevy/G50 combo that I currently have...

More comments there. Basically the driver had the traction control off (duh) and got fooled by the 4WD system which activated the drive to the front wheels while the driver opposite locked to correct the slide. All that power to the front wheels caught the slide and hauled the car straight off the road. What a retard, having the TC off. They deserved to stack it.
