Women Drivers

Post by david.anderson »

My appologies to any women on this forum but this is just too good not to share, even if no motorcycles are involved.
A woman ran over an innerspring mattress on the highway, and decided not to worry -- and kept on driving.
It caught on the undercarriage etc of her Holden.

The ensuing jumble finally whipped around enough to tear a hole in the fuel tank.

The subsequent lack of fuel is what finally brought her vehicle to its knees.

She had managed to drive 50 kms, with a 25kg tangle of “stuff” wrapped around her drive shaft.

She had it towed to her Holden dealership, and complained that the vehicle had a 'sort of a noise' when she was driving at high speeds.


Below are the photos of what they
found at her Holden Dealership....................

The last photo is by far the best.

"Sort of a noise" -- I'll bet it did!

That's pretty incredible. To hole the tank and not get any sparks from that mass of rotating wire would have to be lucky. You would have to get vibration and a lot of power loss as well. hope she never drives anything of mine. I have seen many who are not aware but that is one of the best. Nev

I am speechless. One of my collague broke cardan shaft from his Honda CRV.
I asked him, did you hear any weird sounds before that.
He said something, but not much. I think people today just don't care.

Without reading the text I looked over the pictures, and thought - this is barbwire with some small dead animal hanging down! (last picture) "How cruel" I thought.
But after reading it became very funny, and scary at the same time. Just think of this: how many people (not only women, but men too) are so unaware about everything that surrounds them! Happily this ended well, but it could have gone much worse, hurting not only the driver, but other people in the streets too.

Story and pictures worth stealing and re-sharing though!

We share the roads with them and they get to vote too. Don't we test out cars thoroughly out here? That is equal to about a mile of rabbit proof fence An active brain needs a large supplyof blood. This lady was just economising. Nev

If you take the last picture out of context you could be watching the local Maffia mob discussing alternative ways of dealing with opponents.
Well,..I just presume these guys also have their 'branch meetings'
