How "NOT" to test drive a Clubsport.
Discussion
A friend of mine sent me some pictures of a VY Clubsport that a 19 yr old took for a test drive from Watson Holden in Traralgon in Victoria.
I don't think the owner of the HSV dealership would of been to happy after he saw where the 19 yr old had parked his lovely HSV.
I can't post the pic's onto the forum, so I will send them to Paul so he can do it for you all to see,
Not a nice sight!

Just a bit more info on this, that has come to light on the Oz forum.
The driver was actually the owner of the car, if you saw the number plates it confirms it was a privately owned car, and was 23 y.o. It was insured through his mum's policy.
However! he was not going slow! he was being followed at a distance by an off duty policeman.
Somebody has said it was going 160kmh. I know for a fact that bit of road is either a 60 or 70kmh zone so well over the limit. The car turned to avoid hitting something or something like that.
Watson Holden is actually in Bundoora in Metropolitan Melbourne.
Supposedly there is $300,000 of damage.

Buggar me, when I was 23 I was flat out even affording a push bike. I wonder if it was his oldies car? My bet is that next time he takes the car out, if ever, it will be short 6 spark plugs.
$300k in one day is a pretty impressive target, he could have aleast crashed into ferrari car yard and done a proper job.

Thanks for the info motomk,
Yes as you said don't think he was doing 60 to 70 KPH hay.
Looks like he is in BIG trouble, if I can remember it's Driving in a Speed that's a mater Dangerous to the Public, if you are caught doing 60KPH over the speed limit in that area.
Instant Arrest & Disqualification, been there done it & I was 19.
