Is That An XR6?

[ThoR_]

Not much left of this XR6 after a clever young guy didn`t know how to drive and lost control.

bloody roos

Yeah I nearly rode my parents BA XR6 off when it was comming home from the panel beaters. A tired truck driver was all over the road.
A lot of people in my year at school have rode off a previous car.

[Lukeyson]

Remember jeff (ultimate) wrote his BA off last year due to a roo i think it was ?

Sucks for the owner, but as long as everyone in the car is ok, material possesions can be replaced.

One of the worse BA crashed rides i have seen in a while

[Fair302]

Hope everyone is OK? But its just shows, you are not supposed to swerve, but its hard, just a human reaction.

Put in a bit of elbow grease and that'll buff right out :

Sorry, My main point was that a lot of young people I know have rode a previous car off.
Happens to alot of inexperienced drivers on country roads.

Saw a few cars written off in the NT while I was there as well. One lady wrote a mini van off, just to avoid a wallaby.
I hit a big red roo on a bend in the NT. If I had swerved, I would have went straight into the bush at speed! Yeah it hurt the car, but I was ok!
Never swerve for small animals (Kangaroos, Wallabies etc)
A new bumper, headlight, bonnet is cheaper than a new car.

That looks like the same Xr6 that was on pickles about a week ago

Actully now i seen more of the video i am almost positive that went up for auction.

i pretty sure there not to many xr6 like that

[Green X]

Yeah he must have been moving if it happened during the day, as it was fairly clear country so not a lot to hide the roos, at night at speed would have been a different story, as you don’t always see em even with Spotlights

Should have just hit the anchors and Hit it dead on. If I am going to fast to avoid em It’s on the brakes hard and keep going straight at them and surprisingly they normally get out the way in the nick of time too, most of the time I am in the 4By so the roo would loose ether way LOL

[XRCISM]

That's a sad sight ...... :(

[0xyg3n]

Is that rear passenger wheel bald or is it just the crap video compression. Looks like its bald to me.

[Dazza XLT]

Could be part of the inner guard? I don't know!
But I did notice that too.

Yes, i remember the photo's you posted.

[GTpilot]

Unfortunately just another case of an inexperienced driver at the wheel of a high powered car. You don't swerve at high speed on bitumen let alone a dirt road. :

Yeah those back tyres do look fairly bald. check the LHR. but then again could be crappy video.

[myxr6]

Maybe DSC would have helped in this situation?

Tyres look bald to me also..................

What do you guys think?

[5.4 GT]

Prior burnout? Out in the middle of nowhere with a video camera... Coming back home (at speed) with tyres shot and lost control?

[Joes_meat]

If you're going to hit an animal - brake and honk. The amount of times I've had a cat, dog, rabbit, duck, etc. stand in front of me looking at the approaching car, only to flee at the honk of my horn...

[ThoR_]

far out guys stop going on about he hit an animal a animal doesnt do that to a car. Not even a bull would do that to a car. He obvious hit a tree.

[aannese]

Thor there are no trees to hit he obviously either swerved to miss a roo or jst lost control being stupid and hit the little ditch on the side of the road at high speed. And yer i rekon those tyres do look pretty bald.

[GTpilot]

Thor there are no trees to hit

If you look to the rear right hand side of the car you will see what most people call................A tree!!!!
