This Is Very Sad
No one i know but does make you think,
Apparently the car had no MOT and they guy wasn't intrested in buying it as it was rough round the edges. The owner told him it drove alot better than it looked and took him out in it.
Does make you think sometimes. A very good mate of mine was going to view it if it wasn't sold to this guy!

The ladies love it French
That's shit that is.
I remember me and a mate went to look at an S2 up in Preston, and the owner took us out for a blast down some back lanes, again he was driving like a total bell end, way too fast, told him to slow down in the end.
Think it probably happens quite a bit with 'perfromance' cars and the current owner trying to make it feel as fast as possible to the prospective buyer.

Properly tragic, bit of a reminder how dangerous our hobby is, as I must admit I wouldnt think twice about jumping in the passenger seat for a testdrive either, you just assume that people have a modicum of talent, which clearly isnt always the case!
RIP
Driver will do 3 years inside minimum for that one, possibly longer.

Serious question here, but havent we all done similar at one time or another? 
The size of road where he crashed, wasnt anywhere I would fear doing 100mph down TBH down this part of the world that would be practically a motorway, if both your wing mirrors arent touching the hedges at once its not a proper lane!

To me a "country road" is wide enough for 2 cars but not as wide as main road, its twisty and has tall hedges/blind bends etc, horse signs everywhere, lay-bys for tractors.................... now THAT sort of road id never do 100mph you just dont know whats waiting round the corner
