"Let's take the wife's car to speedway tonight.
There's a burnout competition during the break.
I'll take the rego plates off and she'll never know it was her car."

Nah mate...
Not me the car.

I'm fine - It wasn't me doing the burnout.

No, was it you leaving your house in a flat bed after you told your wife? (Not as funny if you have to explain it...) ;)

I'm imagining getting such nice shots of the b/o would be muh more difficult from the driver's seat.

What the hell went wrong?


Canon 70D/70-200 f4/17-55 2.8/BG-E9/430EZ I like DSLR's. It makes a distinction between photo fans and normal people who don't give a damn how a picture could look like

Not 100% sure, but word has it that he forgot to turn off the traction control and the harder he put his foot down, the TC was trying to overide the manual input and the more the TC tried to overide the manual input the harder he put his foot down etc to the point that the transmission couldn't cope any more and it and the engine simply cried enough and just detonated.

That doesn't look like a traction control issue to me.

Should have laid off the rev limiter lol
