[QUOTE=iwantahsv]Anyone know how this happened QUOTE]

Apparently a 19 year old test drove it. He was driving back to the dealer and was going WAY too fast around the corner. He mounted the gutter, travelled the 10 metres to the gates and parked the car in the manner shown.

I think an eye test needs to be implemented for all forum members...first cab off the rank has to be HSVMAN.....

Has anyone actually read the thread and especially post 46 kindly written by MYVYSS, or does everyone read the first post or 2 before jumping in blindly and making fools of themselves... I'll let the facts answer that one..

Funny thing is I have received 2 emails on the same accident except it's reported as a female driver and the releated email is "word for word" identical to post #46 describing the incident.

Just because I drive a red Holden I've had at least 6 people email me the pics. I just keep telling them I always knew Holdens could fly :burnout:

Even when you change a story its always good to report from the Horses Mouth.....seriously if you wanted to know the whole story as I put in my original post give them a call, everyone from the receiptionist to the guy who cleans the toilets know what happened out there...and their phone number is 03 9467 4677.....

They are a great dealership, its where I got my current ride and is the only place i get it serviced...have been going there for years....

How dare they say "it's just a Holden" :)

Seriously unfortunate, just a case of not knowing a cars capabilities before trying to use it, probably another good example of where skid pan training/defensive driving should be done as part of the licencing system etc.

Yes the driver (not his mum) is up for the damages for all the cars and property he damaged. He will be in alot of debt!

hate to disagree, but I am a compliance/fraud investigator and I assure you there are many ways that the insurance company will cover it.

i'll give you a commonly used ones.

mother ownes the HSV, son takes it for a drive and smashes it. mother says son took the keys without permission, son gets charged for stealing the car and as the car was 'stolen' the insurance covers it.

or

son goes bankrupt for 3 years, all insurance companys have to cover the cost themselves. simple, its done all the time.

That's just messed up.
My ute gets stollen and recovered a week later. I pay excess for $8000 worth of repairs since they never caught the clowns. 3 months later my transmission packs it in and Holden and Insurance company point the finger at me saying I drive too hard (nothing to do with the fact that the car was gone for a week out of my control). $3500 for inspection and tranny rebuild later (out of my pocket).

And this retard is going to get away with a slap on thw wrist for cauising $300k worth of damage driving like a spanker.

WTF?
