|  Car crash into tree Check out the pictures. This falcon just missed the park mower man by 30cm. He left the rd near where the police car is parked, took out a rd sign carried it on the roof and hit the tree backwards with the power still on (note the wheel spin hole in the last pic). Aparantly the driver blacked out and was still unconscious when and after he hit the tree. If he had not stopped at the tree he could have ended up in the river only another 50m away. The mower man was shaken as are many of the other gardeners that work in Hamilton Gardens where the accident occured. |

| How ironic, about the only tree in the joint and he gets it! Was lucky, but lush green grass like that can be like ice.... especially down hill

| Re: Car crash into tree I dont like Ford's much either. Hey, we got a 91 Camry, whole family went to Bundy and car got 43mpg ... gets like close to 30mpg around town, friggin little ripper. Had a EA Falcon, biggest POS I ever owned, drank like a fish and broke down a lot, shitbox! I swore after that shitbox I'd never own a Ford again ... I had following fords in my life, XW, XA, XC and EA. The XA was a 351 Also had VB commodore 4.2 and VH 5.0 ... handle nice those commodores but I did think the V8's were gutless. Fastest car owned, 4.0 hotted Centura. Holly 465 mechanical secondarys with E49 head (shved 100 thou off!) polished and match ported to manifolds with headers, 2.5" exhaust with turbo muffler. Could stand still and spin the wheels 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears on bitumin no worries. Just couldn't steer the bastid!  Was a missile I'm telling you.Ahh, the good ole days.
