02 BA XR6T - there's a few of those here aren't there?

And yes, the gearbox comment was a good laugh.

I have it on good authority that this car also had performance wiper blades and one of those seat covers that looks like a race seat.

By the time he sat at the lights spooling up the cops would have had him surrounded.

The Herald Sun has just as much credibility as this article. The Ballarat Courier

P-plater hides mates in ute
16/06/2009 10:53:00 PM
A P-PLATE driver carrying three people under a tarp in the back of his utility led police on a short chase, Ballarat Magistrates Court heard yesterday.

The court heard Nicholas Paul Lee, of Invermay, was driving a Holden Commodore utility in Grevillea Rd, Wendouree, on June 25 when police began a pursuit.

Police prosecutor Sergeant Bob Anderson told the court police followed the 20-year-old for a short time, allegedly reaching speeds of 50kmh.

He said Lee hit a kerb, skidded to a halt and blew the front tyre before three males were located under a tarp.

The utility was impounded at the scene.

Lee was fined $2500 with conviction and received an 18-month good behaviour bond with the condition he completes a road trauma seminar and a driving course.

He pleaded guilty to recklessly conduct endangering serious injury and careless driving.

If he pulled over in the first place he may have been ok.

Yeah, doing a runner is a bad move.

Especially if you have a modified gearbox.

he wouldnt have pulled over as he has no license, also apparenly drink driving also which is pretty unlike him .
after speaking to some frineds the police were initially not pulling him over but another car trying gee him up and when the 5-0 put the lights on to pull the other car over he booted it and the police pulled out and started chasing him.

They also pulled up next to him at lights in an unmarked car and uponed there door in to his car causing enough damage to indetify the car as it isnt a very hoon looking car! talk about taking it to extremes.

oh well as foolish as it sounds i doubt it'll stop him.
