Interesting response when at fault at an event.

When you do this.....

Don't behave like a knob.

Instead man up and say sorry.

No actual footage of what went down during that altercation to cause such a response.

I gather not, though it looked like someone saw damage to their VL then lost their cool and that is the buzz from those trackside.

Quite frankly, if the GT owner verbally unloaded onto the VL owner, the latter should have kept his trap shut, but by all accounts it was attack from the start by the latter not the former.

When you've stuffed up, man up and take what's coming if it's just a few choice words. Quite frankly cough up would be the noble thing, even though when anyone runs the strip with the lunatics in a "Supercruise" they shoulder the risk, just like any other motorsport event.

Poor old falcon.

Im just gunna add what i see when i look at those pics..

You made me stack my car into ur car uleh!

I was trying to rip a fully sick doughnut habib..

Dont worry baby, you're cars still better than his!

My 2 cents:
what a muppet! Looks like a wife beater

CoupeKing · 20-01-2015, 06:59 AM

Send that old beast to the best beaters in town. Then pick that VL up with a Chinook and drop it into an active Volcano.

Typical roid rage tool who lost his rear, his mouth, his right to be on any track again & any respect he ever had.
Video should go viral & hope he pulls his head in

Blem · 20-01-2015, 07:05 AM

Just had a look at the business promoted on the side of said tools vl.
Judging on his driving ability I don't think he or his car is listed in the promo...?

gcg2503 · 20-01-2015, 09:05 AM

Absolutely disgraceful behaviour.

I can't say anything else for fear of breaching the forums rules.

XR Martin · 20-01-2015, 09:33 AM

He's asking for a bit of wack sticking his chin out like that...

Sam_Boss260 · 20-01-2015, 09:34 AM

Youtube video doesn't show any altercation, has it been edited?

Judging by the pics, the VL tool is certainly behaving the way he looks....

galaxy xr8 · 20-01-2015, 09:35 AM

Here we have a bloke that can control a vehicle with power and one that can not, from the get go you can see the bloke in the Falc is no stranger to decent car control, where as the tool in the other lane goes from whoa to go with absolutely nothing on his mind apart from showing up the old Falc, I hope the Falc owner ripped him to shread’s afterward’s,

As the voice at the end said....******** hell...I’d have more choice word’s then that to say.

Mighty Reds · 20-01-2015, 09:44 AM

Is that an old Benz it pic 3?.

A couple of the comments after that youtube vid are interesting.

If he stood up and offered repair he would be a stand-up guy IMO, even if he exceeded ability on the track. While the video showed none of the altercation the pics here (and more on line) don't look too good for that theory though.

Taken from YouTube

"Not defending the vl driving skill here. I agree it was a class act of stupid. BUT he did go see the falcon owner apologize and arange for the car to be repaired at a well known panel shop at his cost . Sad to see a car damaged. Theres a reason they have rules and ask people not to get carried away. Cause things go bad real fast. Main thing no ones hurt just egos and pride"

Some info HAS come to light this morning. While things weren't pretty on the track the VL driver has proven to be a stand up guy and done the right thing. From "social media".......

YOU WILL BE SEEING US BOTH OUT ON THE TRACK AGAIN VERY SOON!"

Yep, idiot alright.
You're taking your car on a bloody racetrack...just be thankful if you go home with no extra dents and your car isn't being taken away on a trailer to the insurance assessors (who will tell you to bugger off because you're involved in competition).

Yes it is...an old 280S or something like that, with piping for a huge sparrow-sucker sticking out of the bonnet..

OffRoadFalcon · 20-01-2015, 12:45 PM

Glad to see the situation seems to be resolved, and that both cars will be up and running again soon.

**Peuty** · 20-01-2015, 04:38 PM

What a surprise, people judging a person's character based on his appearance.

Glad both cars are getting fixed.

Road Games · 20-01-2015, 06:22 PM

Time for closure methinks...

ford man xf · 20-01-2015, 09:07 PM

Looks like an accident has happend (repeat accident) by the person driving the VL, the other guy who was driving the XW has lost his sh** and said some choice words, for all we know the guy driving the VL was probably very apologetic at first, I know when I was in a minor accident in the wet that was unavoidable and I was extremely apologetic to the person I hit and that person kept carrying on and I lost my sh** in a massive way (not physically but verbally) because it was after all an accident I wasn't doing anything stupid and it's frustrating when you are generally sorry and people don't acknowledge this.

Itsme · 20-01-2015, 09:52 PM

Hahahaha you can understand some one blowing off at times in these situations, at least he manned up in the end.

**GasoLane** · 20-01-2015, 09:55 PM

The part that I don't get is that it looks like an officially organised Drag meet, so why are there passengers in the cars and no one wearing a helmet.

Was at a general "Supercruise" at Perth's Motorvation this year.
