Default Anyone know this car?

I thought Brett at first, but not so sure?
Reports are minor injuries and minor burns.
Happened at 7:50 am in Baulkham hills area.
Speeding in a 50 zone, hit a parked car and a tree (is the Police report)

Well I bet that will make the papers! Don't like to see this stuff happen on our streets. Pretty sure that's not Bretts, Boxy. Wrong wheels colour roll bar hoop etc.

Never seen the car before.

Definently not me, If I'm the Brett you thinking of....
Sidepipe covers are a bit similar but that all.
Not good either way.

Cheers

Youch! Hope there was no passenger...
Never a good sight after the labour of love that goes into building it.

I just read the article on the daily telegraph and it says it was his fathers car. That's going to be a tough phone call!

Lucky the fire didn't take hold - the tree doesn't appear to have been hot. In fact, it doesn't look like the tree even flinched with the impact...

There was another written off Cobra outside a Melbourne Cobra manufacturer the other day, on a flat-bed. It was light-blue and I think it had slicks on it. I have a pic but I would choose not to post it.

Anyone know about that one?

Wise. Can't imagine I would be too happy if photos of my smashed up car were posted on a forum.
