Someone posted this vid a couple of weeks ago. It hardly has anything to do with tax-payers money. The car would have been serviced at some local garage and the mechanics would have taken the chance to do this. I really doubt anyone in the service is stupid enough to do it.

Im with the guy who filmed it - thats hilarious - especially cos they are now dog-meat

This video is from adelaide and was shot at a local ford dealership the guy doing it wanted to get fired or was quitting or something like that from what i heard the police were trying to track down who did it last time i heard but as you can see its hard to identify just from the video.

I wouldn't have thought Ford Dealers would do any work on Holdens.

Scott · 28-04-2007, 03:03 PM

Why would the cops put any energy into finding out who did it? I would think there's nothing they can do to him.

gthofan · 28-04-2007, 03:11 PM

it is on private property after all, so what can they do... Apart from lose the police as a customer.

Vdouw · 28-04-2007, 03:16 PM

They are mistreating gov property or somin like that it is illegal and the coppers can ping them for it if they choose their words propperly ... same as you can get out of alot of things purely by how your words descirbe the incident

gthofan · 28-04-2007, 03:20 PM

i can think of, misconduct endangering life, "de-facing?? government property"

irsa76 · 28-04-2007, 03:21 PM

Looks more like a Holden dealer to me. Would have been funnier if it hooked up.

And have an "AC Delco" sign on the wall

xr6ist · 28-04-2007, 05:51 PM

Ford dealership holden dealership all the same.

TEaaron · 28-04-2007, 06:02 PM

What total idiots.

They didn't even put the lights and sirens on, would've made it so much better.

Wokkas · 28-04-2007, 06:11 PM

Possibly a VY/Z that is being de-commissioned. Might have already been handed over to the gov' auction department, and is in the process of having its gear removed.

Either way, it's a good innocent joke. No real damage to anything, no one's safety endangered..

EFDream · 28-04-2007, 06:22 PM

not a bad burnout eitherway....lol gotta love holden abuse.....

**Fordman1** · 28-04-2007, 06:30 PM

Employees at a Holden dealership.

NO ONE'S SAFETY ENDANGERED..... are you kidding? if that car had come off the hoist it would have been all over for the driver, ever seen a car jump off a dyno? this would have ended the same.
PLUS the cops have a hard enough time earning respect from the public, things like this tell teenagers that its ok to....
1. hoon and
2. act like a tool and think that its socially acceptable.

In my workshop If I caught one of my mechanics doing this, basicly his world would end. Its stupid, dangerous and not funny at all. I know i sound a bit high and mighty but i see guys get injured all the time from doing stupid ****, without going out and purposely doing something like this.

From what it looks like to me, the car is parked in position on the hoist, but not raised, and has all four wheels on the ground. Correct me if I'm wrong.

SPNAGE · 28-04-2007, 07:01 PM

I wouldnt like to be those guys right now, they r history! I would have put the party lights on to. It was funny though!

Still absolutely STUPID workplace behaviour !!

If someone was hurt the owner and driver would have been pursued & prosecuted by Workcover.

Morons !!!

Last time i checked cop cars weren't coming out with lift kits installed, at the 10 second mark look at the gap between the wheel arch and the car, its raised so that the wheel spins just touching the ground, all this car had to do was rock a bit on the hoist the wheels would have grabbed and it would have plowed into the wall.

As said before, either way its stupid. Hope they get caught, given a lame slap on the wrist, then laugh about it with their mates. But that is a whole other post!!!!!!

Sick EB · 29-04-2007, 12:00 AM

why would u put it on the net.

[Tonko] · 29-04-2007, 12:09 AM

If that was in Vic, would they impound it? lol.

FLYXR6 · 29-04-2007, 12:16 AM

hahahaha what is it a 48hr ban for the first offence? Could get done by the EPA too: vehicle producing excessive smoke lol

ZA-289 · 29-04-2007, 09:47 AM

This was at Southgate Holden Adelaide, Apprentice mech + service manager fired!

Idiots, apparently the cops rocked up just after he finished the skid.

Its one thing to do the burnout, which was a stinker BTW, but its another thing to film it!

STUPID!
