Shamelessly stolen from another forum, had to share

A golf, when the driver tries to undertake traffic on a single lane road and doesnt realise there is i recovery truck parked up in front of him lol

Happened outside my work this afternoon, right on tea break so we were all able to go out and LOL at him

He hit the back of the truck so hard, the shock shattered the block i think as thick black oil was pouring out from under the truck, and he ripped the inlet clean off the engine on the golf

how fast must he have been travelling to leave a trail of rubber that long and still destroy the front of that golf? :/

Muppet.

Excellent. One more chavved up Mk4 off the road.

Was the ABS disabled or something? Not sure why it would leave big black lines of the ABS was working.

Must have been going some speed. Unless he has ling-longs on on.

No ABS then? :/

ABS pump is a common failure on mk4 golfs.

Its a common thing on Mk4's for the ABS sensor to play up and completely disable it altogether

Ouch! Who was the driver in the pics?

SlyReaper · 6 Sep 2011 at 22:05

That's going to be an expensive lesson in how not to drive. Serves the billy sastard right.

Nice reg plate.

Mansechs UNF!

Apparently the driver did a runner!

Was also on ebay recently: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1999-VOLK...2987654?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2567117686

Haha muppet

I wonder if he declared his mods and intercooler to his insurance company?....Although guessing its not legit if he legged it!?

TheVoice · 6 Sep 2011 at 22:18

Hope the truck was okay.

Meatball · 6 Sep 2011 at 22:19

What forum was the original thread on?

Cosimo · 6 Sep 2011 at 22:19

Serves him right. What a plonker!

mast3r · 6 Sep 2011 at 22:22

gutted

Will Gill · 6 Sep 2011 at 22:24

Wonder if he will get in extra trouble for dumping oil into the drains?

dwarf · 6 Sep 2011 at 22:32

It was very considerate of him to crash next to a gully though; easy drainage for all the leaking fluids. Although it seems to be draining around the gully rather than into it.

What an idiot.

smokedog · 6 Sep 2011 at 22:33

At least he knows the tracking wasn't off. Managed to brake in a nice straight line.

Kenai · 6 Sep 2011 at 22:36

Epic observation fail, he must have had sight of that truck for ages to have skids that long :/
