Default FPV ute crash at Stillwells

Got an email today showing an FPV Pursuit Ute that had crashed at Stillwells in Adelaide, supposedly by an apprentice mechanic. Not sure when it happened, or the story behind it.
If its been posted on here before I wont bother putting the pics up.

This rings bells. I think it was posted, by an employee or passer by. If its the same one, I thought it was some idiot owner racing a commodore and lost it.

Was that the one that was launched into the car yard damaging multiple cars?

I wonder how long it took for him to be in the dole queue after he 'parked' it. I recall the pics, I don't think there was much of a story to it. But it is before 6am right now. :P

I remember the clubsport, but it was a BA Pursuit ute that 'launched' into a car yard aswell.

I believe the score for launching an FPV vs Clubsport into a caryard is 1 all at this point.

Twas Black. Ended up half on top of some Hyundais and against a large pole.
Happened at Stillwells Hyundai dealership across from their Ford dealership on Main North Road. The fence was still damaged when I drove past recently..

I also got the email but its been deleted..

All those Hyundais gone, woohoo!

I'm surprised they didn't whack a price tag on the windscreen and try to sell it off as a one-lady-owner car!
