Default Old subject...That Reyland Gumball crash...

Apologies to those involved in advance, and if this is removed then I understand.

Just watching the old Gumball stuff, been on the extreme channel ALLLLL day, some awesome footage, very jealous.
But, did Martins car lose it's rear wing just before it stared to slide and went off?? Certainly appeared to from the glimpses of it on the video, or was it removed prior to the crash?
Just curious.

I have some pics of Martins car when it was crashed and it looks to have the rear wing put in the boot....so i would of thought it was still on when it crashed

Im sure Martin will tell us though

I don't really either, as I said i'm just curious. And if I get told to bugger of and mind my own then thats fine.

It's just that the same clip has been played over and over today and when the Escort goes across the road in front of whatever it was that was filming it hasn't got a wing on.

Really not trying to piss anyone off here.

Whilst I am sure the crash is not a pretty thing to remember for all involved, I am not too sure what (or better word: WHY) the stigma is surrounding this. It appears to me that everytime it is mentioned, it is quickly hushed up, and everyone (that appears to know something) gets very worried....

Why is that?

But Phil, mistakes are made everyday by millions of people, and worse mistakes are made - no one died in this accident did they?

So I simply don't understand why it is hushed up like something is illegal about it

Don't get me wrong, I am not too bothered to know anything more about it - and I have no desire to see the fottage either. I am glad that no one died and although Porkie was in a bad bad way, he is on the mend and beginning to do fine, which is the most important feel.....

But there is something not right about it

i think you hit the nail on the head in your first sentence, its not a pretty thing to remember. if you've had a bad smash you'll be happy to forget it.

i can;t see why people have a fascination with others accidents it was an accident.
