It wasn't even his car - apparently a mate had lent it to him. I'll bet they're not mates any more.

Hmmm.. a goose yes, got owned in a serious manner.

But.. I can't help but wonder about the fact that the BA ute has not been able to cope with a little bit of a tyre frying action. Sure the guy was giving it a hard time, but for the BA to spill it's guts like it has, has got me baffled and stunned, particularly at the build quality for the flywheel to come undone as eski666 has said.

!!! This happened about 6 months ago in Darwin...A few hundred metres away from where I live is a local hoon carpark. This drunk guy got in his VN SS and was showing off to some chicks that his car could spin its wheels, kept going about 300m later the flywheel came off and the car caught fire and he crashed into a fence. If was hilarious and the guy was humiliated on all the local radio stations and was named ****er of the year

Well is the insurance company going to cough up on this one? This ******** is why insurance premiums go up for those that drive & behave normal on public roads. I would hope the insurance company does not pay in this case.

Looks like 2nd gear to lay rubber that thick. Wonder what caught fire and why, looks like there's only 3 circle's there and i know a stock standard xr8 is capable of 25+ 2nd gear helis without any problems.
