Default Mangled R34 GTR, 3 Killed...

It's always sad to see/hear about these kinda thinkgs happening... it's been all over the news in Australia (NSW at least) for the past few days... and this was one of the most known R34 GTR's in Australia.

(Source: news.com.au)



Son 'wasn't allowed to drive car'
November 25, 2004

THE P-plate driver who killed himself and two friends in an horrific accident was joy-riding in the high-powered, high-speed car without permission, his father said yesterday.

Emile Dousset, 20, had sneaked the Nissan Skyline GT-R from the family garage after he had been told by his father Graeme it was "off limits".

Shortly after, he died instantly along with passengers Carl Homer, 33, and Mr Homer's 15-year-old, seven-month pregnant, girlfriend Natasha Schyf, when they crashed into a power pole at speeds estimated at up to 200km/h.

Careful on the roads guys!

the plates indicate the car is evil or something.

really a shame to lose the GT-R. wasn't stock either article says 110,000 AUS = 85,000 USD

anyone that irresponsible hardly deserves to live.

Provisional driver, like a provisional license.

Provisional driver, usually when a driver turns 20 (or 21 I think it is now), they are eligible to go for their full license (full demerit points (12), allowed to have a BAC of 0.05), P-platers (like myself) have 6 demerit points and are NOT allowed a BAC (ie. 0.00).

I don't think that any P-plater should be allowed behind the wheel of a car of excess of 600hp and over like the GTR was.
