Someone's pride and joy ruined by someone in a 4wd. Look at where that back seat ended up. I hope there was no one in that back seat. Here's another picture of the accident. That moron in the territory had a ride on lawnmower in that trailer that wasn't tied down and it ended up in the back of his own car. Lucky that no one in his/her own car wasn't seriously hurt.

The guy who owns that VL had a built VK stolen a while back, which gave him motivation for this VL, he had been building it for years and had only been on the road for one week.

Crazy???? I suppose so but he's just Miller to those who know him. How crazy do you have to be to drive the actual car from Cairns to Canberra just to compete? |

Very loose use of the word 'Truck'. Just another opinionated view.

Ah, well if he's going to speak 'Murrican he should've called it an SUV (I hate hearing that word/acronym in Oz as well)

Regarding the VL that got rear ended hard. The car had only been on the road for a week prior to this. The 2 passengers who were in the back got out only minutes earlier to get into another car so they are very lucky. Such a shame this has happened and my heart goes out to Brendyn the bloke who owns the car.
Before... After...

I feel sorry for the owner of that VL, no matter what brand of vehicle no one wants to see a very nice machine destroyed like that.
I am sure we are all mature enough to give our heart's to this poor fella. |

I feel for the vl bloke, this is a shame when it happens.
i wonder how he will feel IF his insurance company wont cover him because the car MAY not be safe for road use and if the other persons insurance company only gives him $1500 for his vehicle being written off? |
