Tributes Posted For 'sweet, Kind' Volleyball Player Sophia Naismith, Who Was Hit By Lamborghini




The parents of a 15-year-old girl who died after being hit by a Lamborghini outside a Chinese restaurant in Adelaide have described their daughter as "the centre of our universe". Junior state volleyball player Sophia Naismith, of Seaview Downs, died on Saturday night and her 15-year-old best friend Jordyn Callea is recovering in hospital. The pair were walking along the footpath on Morphett Road, Glengowrie, in front of the House of Tien Chinese restaurant when they were struck by a Lamborghini Huracan driven by a 37-year-old Elizabeth North man. He has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving and causing injury by dangerous driving. Sophia's parents, Pia Vogrin and Luke Naismith, released a statement on Monday afternoon, sharing the impact the sudden death would have on their family. We also want to thank the paramedics and police who came to Sophia's aid. Friends and family members left bouquets and candles outside the restaurant on Sunday and Monday. Hundreds of her friends have also expressed their sadness on her Instagram page. We will always remember you in our hearts forever and will always be missed. Sophia was a popular and vibrant member of our school who brought a huge amount of positive energy to everything she did. It's really frustrating. We're obviously really concerned with driver behaviour at the moment. The driver of the Lamborghini, which had the numberplate PSYKO, runs a YouTube channel focusing on performance cars.





Another problem with the A8. Inspect the aluminum shifting plate, is it scratched? Check to see if the car has xenon headlights (you want these!). Open the hood, look at the headlight assemblies, if they have large metal boxes on them with a lightning bolt on them, they are xenons. If they have plastic covers on the back of the headlight assemblies only, they do not have xenons. Backside of headlight assembly for the 1998 and 1999 US spec model years (as seen from engine compartment). If it doesn't have this electrical box, it doesn't have stock xenons. If possible, check for any stored fault codes. This can be done at an Audi dealer or any independent that has a VAG 1552 or ross-tech software. You should check for codes in the following modules at a minimum: engine, transmission, HVAC system. While taking the car for a road test, pay close attention to how smooth the transmission is. If it has a tiptronic, shift it up and down in tiptronic mode.





Stop the car and with your foot on the brake, open the door, and shift from drive to reverse and back again (without the car moving, keeping your foot on the brake). Listen for clunking and feel for smoothness. If you hear a large clunking, try to determine where it is coming from and have your mechanic inspect further. Turn the steering from lock to lock in both directions, list for noises and clunks. Listen to the radio, ensure there is no buzz or whine through the speakers. Inspect the wheels and tires. Inspect for scuffs and rash on the wheels. Check tire wear pattern on the tires. They should be even. The A8 has an adjustable suspension that allows for proper geometry. 150) or there is a problem. Most A8's do not have uneven tire wear problems. Check the body for collision repair. This can be done by inspecting the following items. Front Bumper Assembly - The bottom of the front bumper is easy to get caught up on curbs in parking lots.





Inspect the bottom of the bumper and engine shield (plastic cover at bottom of engine) for excessive scrapes and damage. Hood - open and look at hood bolts. If they have the factory paint on them, the hood has most likely never been touched. If it's broken, it's either been readjusted or replaced. Front Fenders - Look at the fender bolts just under the hood and inspect for factory paint. If they do, the fender probably hasn't been touched. If the paint is broken, the fender has probably be realigned previously due to body damage. Doors - Open doors and check hing bolts for factory paint. Rear Fender - Open rear door and run your finger down along the area where the rear fender wraps into the door jamb. If it has been resprayed, this is where it is taped off. Your finger will tell you if there is a ridge there. If it has a ridge, the rear fender is most likely resprayed. Trunk - Inspect hinge bolts for factory paint. Inspect all panels for straightness. The A8 is a very straight car from the factory. Check the CD changer in the trunk for a six disc cartridge. You'll gasp when you determine how much it costs at the dealer. 15. If you are looking at a 97, it's a different system with a much less used component, therefore it's very expensive. Check the CD changer in the trunk, make sure it has a six disc cartridge in it! Check the spare tire. 97-'99 versions came with a donut spare, '00 and later have a full size spare. Spare keys including valet key. Floor mats, these have 鈥淎8鈥?inscribed on the front ones and attach to the two pegs in the floor. 125 for a set of four. Cup holders. There is an insert between the two front seats (can be removed) and one in the rear seat armrest.
