When it comes to sports cars vs trees..... the later usually come out as a winner. :roll:

looking at the second pic, it's not hard to see how it happend. He came drifting around the bend in the top left, couldn't reign it in, back tires launched upward when it found the drive way, picked a fight with the tree and lost...BAD. Apparently his passenger survived with minor scrapes.
lucky occupants, poor car, one hell of a strong tree :shock:

Poor Owner and Poor Car!!
The roads also seem wet, but in a 4WD car......i think the the power bias is 40/60 on the GTR's right? this is hard on the eyes for sure!

How come no one looks at from the perspective of the tree, i bet the trees saying "he came out of no where, i swear!!"  How safe are skylines by the way, i assume not as safe as volvos but are they reasonably safe in accidents?

Not as bad as that white skyline at Tugun :O
I wonder if that has been posted here... Does anyone from Aus know what I'm talking about and could they confirm its post-status?
Damn Skylines, giving us "P" platers a bad name.

The power is continuously adjusted between front and rear, i believe the most front it can give is 50/50 though, with the most rearward being 0/100.
Anyways damn him for destroying a beautiful car, good thing eveyone got out without serious injury though.

I wonder if it was a daddy's boy's car with friends, or if it was daddy's car while out on a trip. Either way, I wonder what his face looked like as he was heading for the tree, oh and, he's a dumb bastard for destroying that car.

Hmmm.. seems to be a common occurance.
Could this be proof that while the R34 is a fast tyre squealing drifting saloon-style car - it's so far from a sports car it's not funny.
I would love to have a go against an R34 through the backroads around these parts..

^^ it is a real drivers car RC...its just young drivers with little to no brains think they know it all and end up around the tree in most cases.
Thanks for that pic of the white R33 Mezevenf. I never saw that on the news here.
