Default focus rs crash**pics**

happened last night about 10.30
apparently only had it 5 days,took one of his mates out a spin in it and lost it on a sweeping bend,hit the signpost sideways and spun round and hit the lamppost, i was sittin just across from it when it happened and car was still spinning when i jumped out my mates car,ripped a pole from the ground
guy looked gutted but luckily no one injured
traffics doing there usual,just tryin to find evidence to do him,think he might get done for careless or dangerous as they were lookin for any signs of speeding,which obviously he was
funniest bit was after it happened,place was riddled with coppers and some guy comes flyin round the bend in a astra coupe only to be greeted by flashin lights and traffic cops,yip he got tugged and got the full mot







one man and his car,guys just speechless



lamppost after it and the remains of the sign

Can't be many of them left now, might be worth stockpiling a few of them for the future. They must be rarer than 3 doors already.

Why do people get new cars and tear the arse out of them without learning them first Get to know your cars limits before you get all max power gone in 60seconds\5 days need for speed 2 fast 2 furious n shit

thing is some people drive way beyond their own limits just to show off to their mates, which was probably the case here

driving fast does not necessarily mean driving dangerously does it? if it was a genuine accident then furry muff but i doubt it

people who drive like that usually hurt others aswell as themselves

Spose he's lucky that all he killed was a sign post and a lamp post
Probably driving like a joy rider whilst showing off to his mate
He won't be doing that again for a while

real glad that he got out of that one ok! if it had of been a direct hit on the door he may not have been soo lucky! looks seriously bent from the photos, another one being broken for parts more than likely! which is a real shame as they are going quicker than they were ever built!

really do feel for the guy, i cant see how anyone could sit there and say it serves him right, yes he may have been driving way past his ability or limits of the car but its not nice to say it serves him right, would you of said that had he of been hurt or killed?
How would you like someone to sit there and say that should the worst ever happen to you in your pride and joy?

i think rad means serves him right cos he was speeding. Could have been a lot worse with someone on the side of the road or something.
