seen the craziest thing today

 On the way home from the cafe , turning onto Tonkin Hwy i saw this purple landcruiser ute driving on a bit of a lean, on closer look he had a totally blown rear tyre and was driving on the rim. 

Thought he was pulling over but he just kept going on down the emergency lane. came up to Hale Rd lights and sure enough he pulled up in the breakdown lane right next to a truck. He still kept going to my surprise, as we pulled up at Welshpool Rd lights he came along only about 30 seconds later turning up Welshpool rd. i dont know how far he had driven like this but its far enough from Roe Hwy to Welshpool Rd. 

Thought the guy was a bloody idiot and couldnt believe it. where are the cops when you see something like this. not only is he ruining his car but putting others in danger as it would be so easy to loose control . the rim was totally rs when he went past us

Crazy car story

Thu, 2011-03-17 20:34

 had to see it to believe it, saw a car in Laverton one day many years ago - Indigenous driver and passengers. Car had no glass, No bonnet and driving on three tyres, and the cracker - the front seat passenger was sitting with a jerry can between his legs pumping fuel into the carby via a garden hose. Like watching a scene form the old bush mechanics.

Valiant

Thu, 2011-03-17 21:03

Was coming home from work one morning and spotted what looked like fresh gouge maks in the road, not long after spotted a valiant sedan driving along with what was left of a mag wheel on the front left still moving running on the disc veering all over the road. Must have gone 5 miles by the marks

 

Also spotted a Mk2 Escort with a quad bike tied straight on the roof
