V8Diesel,
No. no stick taken. It’s just a shame a bit more professionalism isn’t on display that’s all.
As for the vehicle’s condition – apart for worn
suspension components, really bad oil leaks on both. But not getting into technical hair-splitting discussion, all Govt bodies give guideline on what’s not acceptable for a vehicle to be on the road and clearly these vehicles were outside those at the time of filming. If you get caught by the RTA passing vehicles in such condition your busted.
So you may think that oil leaks and a worn
suspension is OK for a vehicle to be on the road – now if that type of vehicle hit yours how would your insurance company view it? Would they pay out on something that’s unroadworthy or use it as a loop hole not to – no different than being hit by a DUI.
I’m sure most mechanics like me on this site and those who also conduct and issue safety certificates would have to agree that the vehicles were at the time of driving on the road “unroadworthy”. But I’ll stand corrected if they were fixed but I doubt it as Roothy made comments later about the worn
suspension.
I know is was all in the name of fun and let’s get out there approach and was on private property where most of it was filmed but public roads were used to get to and from.
I didn’t take the dvd seriously but they can lift their game and still present it
well.
