Well that was short lived. A shame really, even for a holden.
I guess fate drives a Ford after all!

Those who wanted pics it's basically a yellow new Monaro, with the bonnet vents. I think it was in the last edition of Motor- Hot Tuner
Definately the fastest and most exciting thing i'de ever had a steer in (thanks to Peter from APS) it just went like an animal in any gear Wonder what journo's were driving it? |

Don't know the car or the person but that's really bad news!! Something you don't like to hear.
I'd imagine the magazine would be liable? Hopefully the car owner didn't have to sign any imdemnity waiving the magazines responsibility before the drive. There is always a risk of this sort of thing happening.

the guy who drove it, said this was the most exciting street car he ever driven. i was lucky enough to drive this TT Monaro, it was the ultimate street/strip package. here is a link with the review: http://www.airpowersystems.com.au/ls..._trouble_1.htm

Yeah I know its a Holden but what an awesome package it was. I read the article in Motor several times. It would have been a dream to drive something with that sort of power!!!

Yeah bugger that. Thats a lesson there and then, DONT LEND YOUR CAR TO MAGAZINE PEOPLE!!! If they want moving shots do it yourself. Because id imagine he would be heartbroken to say the least.
Well come on lets see some pics of the wreck. Is it totalled or fixable????
