Any proof to back up that claim???

Guiness are fairly strict when it comes to record attempts.
All the footage I saw of the attempt, the car seemed complete.

Seems to have a bonnet and doors in this shot.

A few people are making comments that the car stuck is a reflection on the car.

That's not fair really.

A Ford would get stuck all the same. THe difference is the driver.
Now that you've seen this picture, I hope that none of you Ford Uties emulate.

I can honestly say from my point of view it could have been a ford, porsche or even a lada and it would have got the same reaction and i think its the same for pretty much everyone else here but i think the fact that the driver even admitted to attempting to impersonate one of the best and most famous holden V8 super car drivers\production landspeed record holder brings up the "holden driver" thing, i dunno about you but i cant say ive ever seen a ford driver or any other driver of a manufacturer besides holden trying to impersonate skaife. And to top it all off its a maloo ute.

Dezza · 27-09-2006, 12:13 AM

Bahahahahaha. He was

qwigybo · 27-09-2006, 06:37 AM

hahaha thats a good one, how fast did he get to ?

Boss 260 Ute · 27-09-2006, 08:20 AM

Ahahahahahahaaha How fast was he going?

LTDHO · 27-09-2006, 08:33 AM

'I was trying to do a skaifey'

Funny pictures though.

I think its more the fact that this guy was "doing a skaifey"
as you said, the driver.

no one is really slandering the ute

Never ceases to amaze me how many mates people have inside Ford and Holden, they must be a real social bunch of lads down there!!

james22 · 27-09-2006, 10:53 AM

hahaha, thats a classic. I'd still laugh if it was a ford.

Casper · 27-09-2006, 10:59 AM

I wonder how many seconds it took him to realise he had just made a MASSIVE mistake?

Ah yes, but the torque of the old 5.0 would have meant that even if he was stuck in 2nd he would have made it!

LOL, thats a crack up, would be so embarrassing.

Exactly what I was thinking!!!

I it would be an absolutely perfect example of the 'ohnosecond' - The exact moment when you realise that a situation changed from 'seemed like a good idea at the time' to being one really big mistake!

Casper · 27-09-2006, 11:36 AM

I would have loved a pic of his face in the exact "ohnosecond" moment.. would have been gold!

that would make a great minties add.

the driver looks at the passenger and the passenger just pulls a mintie out of his pocket.

"its times like these you need minties" haha.

seriously though, wouldnt you drive around the edge of the lake to see what it would be like before hooning out into the middle (away from any help).
a very inteligent man.

Must have taken him a while by looking at those tracks.

Jeld-Wen Falcon · 27-09-2006, 06:24 PM

For god sake dont let the media get hold of it.

How old are these morons? It appears its not only P platers who are dickheads.

Outbackjack · 27-09-2006, 07:21 PM

We dont have to see that to not do it, we are intelligent enough to not do it plus the fact i would not do that with my my ford.And if he was copying what Skaife had done then you would have to think that EVERYTHING would have been checked before Skaife did his run.Not, oh skaife did that i can do it too.

rodderz · 28-09-2006, 01:07 AM

wonder if these pics would end up at the last page of a motor mag?

outback_ute · 28-09-2006, 02:26 PM

Rodderz, hopefully! That is gold-medal-winning, world class stupidity!

Definitely

He was even too stupid to know Skaife's record was not set on a salt lake, but on a road near Woomera, I don't think it was even the runway.

Crispy/Green X - I can understand hiding the plates (although be careful if offered a cheap Maloo ute soon!), but what state was it from? Looks like SA?

Well I commented in this thread. (First page)

I guess the other "Ring in Holden nerds", don't want to comment??

XR6-VCT-2000 · 28-09-2006, 03:12 PM

hahaha ... lmfao .... and i thought i've done some stupid things in my time ! ..

frenzal · 28-09-2006, 07:20 PM

i feel sorry for the poor ***** who buys that ute next. all that salt...

where i grew up we had another definition for doing a skaifey.
mr skaife went to the high school i went to, and when he was a young chap him and his mates went to do burnouts on the school oval, and when skaife was doing them everyone realised the cops were on there way, and skattered and left skaifey to be caught, haha.
true story
