This reminds me of the VYII SS Ute around the corner near my place that my brother just showed me.
Its a very slippery road even when not wet there are many cars that pass daily into the car wash, And this SS Ute must have got sideways and didn't know what type of road this was and clipped a sign and a tree and looks like tore the rear wheel off and left massive damage to the left rear, Airbags went off also. It's been sitting there my brother told me for maybe 2 or more days now.

over 90% of Holdens produced are still on our roads, only 10% actually made it home.

There was a BA XR8 in the NT. I found it parked up on the footpath with a huge Drivers side rear hit.
Found out that a young bloke had come round a corner way too fast drunk. Lost control and snapped a power pole off at the base!
Car was financed. Insurer would not pay out since the driver was drunk.
Decided to try and drive it away. Made it a block, lost control again and parked it up on the footpath, obviously still drunk. Then proceeded to do a runner, and left the car there, with the numberplates still on it. He also left his wallet in the centre console, with his licence in it.
Police tracked him down, charged him, No more XR8!

Why would you leave it there . it might be a bit burnt but some fool could come along and wreck the rest of it ..

Dont A.C.T. have a thing where if you leave your car on the side of the road for a few days they mark it and then if you dont get it within 5 days you lose it ??
