A Girl, a Holden and a Mattress - true story!!!!
A girl ran over an innerspring mattress on the highway,
and decided not to worry -- and kept on driving.
It caught on the undercarriage 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!
