Hehehe.. the story goes as follows:

How to become the town smacktard in one easy step...

Having lunch at the lady's place on Saturday arvo when I could hear the sound of a V8 engine pulling circle work and burnout smoke started pouring into the house. Quickly I grabbed the camera and ran for the front door. As I got out the front I heard a loud crack! Followed by a massive BANG! like a shotgun. Then along with the smell of burnout smoke I could also smell cooking engine parts...

The background is the guy up the road had left his XR8 ute in the care of his "mate" who had been "testing" the capabilities of the beast for the past week or two. Most of the locals had been pretty pissed at him for the disturbances of speeding and burnouts in the suburban streets.

On this day he was going crazy with laying rubber out the front. From what I can gather he overheated the engine, then munted the gearbox (pieces all over the road) but kept the boot in so over-revved the engine and destroyed that also. When smoke started pouring out the bonnet he must have panicked and tried to pull off the road and ended up into a tree.

He's the young guy in the white shirt...

Unfortunately I missed out of getting any action shots but here's what I caught on camera:

What a mate, what a cockhead.

that's just unbelievable

I think someone may be getting hit with a rather large stick!!!

Chooka

he wouldn't be a friend of mine, pulling a stunt like that

Well done Mattson. It's like a "Peter Parker"-"Spiderman" scenario. You're always in the right place at the right time to take "that famous shot".....

left some good marks what did the coppers do? give him a canary ah ahahahahaha

How silly is he!! doing that on a Street!!!!

gota say nice burnout.. but what an absolute d!ckhead!! at least do it in your own car!

That pr1ck is going to look pretty silly trying to drive with broken fingers when his "mate" finds out!

phat that sux ass, no insurance would cover that wouldnt it?
