Default OLD PIC OF MY SMASHED CAR

was looking through some old photos to try and find some pictures of my old S1 Turbo and i came across this 1 of my old XR3.
REAL TEARS.
basically i got rammed from behind by a stolen car this happened in August 1990 and this car was my pride and joy £5k worth. 7 cars were involved alltogether and my mate spent a month in intensive care.

can anyone estimate the speed that the car hit at ?

chummy that hit me was a joy rider , he ruined 6 peoples lifes and got fecking 100 hours community service

while my mate was in hospital , joy rider was facing possible death by dangerous driving , luckily mate pulled through still has lots of problems but least was able to have kids and stuff.

still think that was the best car i ever owned
