Interesting exhaust, is that standard?

I don't think so...Looks aftermarket and a copy of the Pagani Zonda...

Lambo driver over estimated the height of the Hyundai... thought he'd do a vin diesel and drive under it :P

On a serious note...

Any of the Sydney members drive through the accident yesterday going towards the city?

I was driving along on Epping road and the sign said:

"Major accident on GORE Rd. Use Pacific Hwy".

Not realizing i was...well about to go on Gore Rd...I went on.. Gore Rd.

Stuck there in the bottle neck (5 lanes into 3... really the worst spot for an accident to occur...traffic wise) for half an hour.

When I finally could see the accident, I saw a JEEP on the left lane - front right smashed up. I thought "thats not THAT bad..."

100-150 metres down I saw 2 wheel axles + wheels + tyres off the rim and also what I believed to be was the differential.

~50 metres down I saw a car, competely flattened and flipped upside down.

I later learned on the radio that the accident was fatal.

From what I could tell i think it was a lane change at speed - the jeep clipped the other car on the left rear, causing it to swap ends and ramming into the side wall... the rest you can imagine.

Not cool at all.
