You know what makes me cringe, is that the few times my car was on the road, people did stuff like that.
And my wife in her twin turbo 300 zx which has a really nice body kit and goes like crap gets these V8 hoons a lot on the M1 wanting to prove what men they are... typically they have not been hot cars, just V8's with a set of cheap mags and a few young guys out on the town.
Now I wonder if she might get something like this going down, Iv'e witnessed the braking stunt to a lesser degree already ....
Why do they do that stupid crap...

yh the dickheads give us all a bad name theres too many tom dick and harrys thinking they have a fast car which pisses me off and they causes accidents. its ashame people cant have nice cars without being classed as hoons or without someone trying to race all the time.

utterly devastated for you mate, was a lovely car but as many have said it can be replaced and the main thing is you both got out of it unhurt.
