Car held together with cable ties

it would seem the uses for cable ties is endless
this young man is a f****** idiot
May 22, 2008

POLICE who stopped a car for speeding were shocked to find that all that was holding it together was cable ties.

Police said they detected the car doing 263km/h on the Hume Highway near Mittagong in NSW(Australia) last night.

When they stopped the 1995 Nissan 200SX turbo, they found its body was held on by cable ties, its dashboard was not secured, it had no back seats and its battery was held in place by a rag and a bracket.

The back of the car was full of tyres and police could smell fuel inside the car.

The driver, a 21-year-old man from Rouse Hill in Sydney, told police he had spent the day at a race track.

He was banned from driving the car until it was fixed and was issued a speeding ticket.

He will appear in Moss Vale Local Court on June 16 on the speeding charge.

Oh yeah, I remember the good old days. When every tool kit included fencing pliers & No. 8 wire, & the first thing taught to any bush mechanic was the Cob & Co wire-hitch.

PS Does anybody else find the stated speed a bit suspect? 263kph! A 200SX Turbo in top fettle would be pushed to do that. & one that's cable-tied together would disintegrate!
