nasty. hope no one was hurt.
looks like that car had a fair bit of work done to it.
not sure about the old rocker in the back seat tho!

isnt that the twin turbo jungle themed show car from Austrailia ???
Seem to remember seeing it in an early copy of Banzai.... Different rims thou

"One More Chance Baby" on the bootlid :(

Impact at 100kph (60mph ish) and the airbag looks intact :confused:

airbag sensors are very low down - that car wend under the lorry so nowhere near the sensors

I thought they were based on deceleration by having a ball bearing (or similar) held across 2 contacts by magnetism. If the whole car decelrates suddenly, the bearing is thrown free by inertia and deploys the system.

Or am I wrong :confused:

Wasn't it a thieves trick in early Ford airbag systems to bump the front at very low (5mph) speed to dislodge the bearing. When the system activates it unlocks the car and disables the alarm/immobilisor so as not to hinder potential emergency services. If they deploy with such little provocation, that one should surely have gone off.

any pics of the car un smashed?

i dont like it at all, but i want to look at it, it looks pretty extreme

Think ScoobyP1 might be right as it looks like an Aussie numberplate and the truck has aussie markings on it. Shocking crash.

It was in Adelaide IIRC.

+1 , and I hope no one was hurt :(

Whoa, can lorries reverse that fast these days?!

that is perhaps the ugliest scoob i have ever seen.
zak

Nasty





















I mean who paints a scooby up like that :rolleyes:

That is the most disgusting looking Impreza I have ever seen in my life :eek:
Absolutely foul colour.
I note there are no skid marks, perhaps he fell asleep at the wheel?

typical everyone assums the scoob drivers to blame
Looks like a classic case of knock for knock to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What planet are you on :freak3: :confused: how can it be knock for knock? :rolleyes: It's the scoob drivers fault, the back of his car is undamaged and the front is totalled so he has driven into the truck at 60mph. Simple :rolleyes:

Paul,

LMAO, some people !!

Darren

It is most likely (but not 100%) aussie because the url of the pics is an australian ISP. Reckon he'll break it for spares :norty:

Check out this blokes mrs btw, id give her one ;) http://members.optusnet.com.au/wrxevo7/MilliS.JPG

Ooouch..

Lorries really can do some damage, surely if the bar was lower it would actually be safer, as the car wouldn't go under!?

ooh. that looks bad!
bit worried about the trainer in the 3rd picture
& then the cut up jeans in the 4th . looks like someone was trapped. :(

horrible colour yeah - but have you seen a WR1 in the flesh ? :p

:DPOLO:D

1st dibbs on the lights . . the back 1's of course

ay paul get to grips with the joke mate
and stueyb do you have to lower the standard????????
Mind you id give her one myself!

The ambulance emergency number is 000. (Aussie)
The number on the truck has a dialling code of 08. (South Aussie although the truck could have been travelling interstate)
The number plate looks Vic at first glace, but then I haven't seen a SA plate yet.
I just got told that it apparently happened in Adelaide.
Also looks like the force of the car hitting has actually snapped the lower bar so I dbout whether or not it being lower would have made much difference.
I don't know much about the car, but the airbags may well have been disabled if it is possible to do that with the passenger side?
This has been posted up over on Aus sites a while ago, but I am unsure of whether the driver was ok.

Learn to use these then -----> ;)

could of been something totally innocent, like a kangaroo jumps ot in front of the wagon, he slams on scoob has no were to go BANG!!

Hope no serious injuries.
