pah its only a poxy 3i

 

fook

looks like the wind from passing that car pused his back end out and he just couldent control it

lookd like he was givin it sum lucky no one was on the pavement

 

ouch bet that hurt

what sort of manovere was he doing

 

Overtook the car, swerved to miss the bollards on the right and ran out of talent

 

Ouch nasty

 

he was driving too fast for the conditions of the road and crashed, then we get another speed camera aswell

 

Bet he had a nice headache

 

probly just a crap driver

 

Soooooo true roflol

 

proper nasty

cheers for putting that up mate

 

 

Is it a S1?

 

Thats what I thought too?

 

That'll go again

 

I remember whot my m8 said to me when i rolled a escort on black ice (he was in it at the time)
He's words were ''i know when you lost it as you just said ooooooo shit'' A he was bloody right

So my works to that is bloody hell thats got to hurt

 

Looks like he tried to cut in to tight on the overtake and glanced the O/S/F of the camera car

'Jim'll fix it', I'll even give him a badge

 

 

Yeah, i wondered why Alan had a differant coloured bonnet





































sorry Al, i couldn't help myself

 

 

Nasty!!

Even took the glass out of the streetlamp!

 

looks like he has something fail on the o/s rear, like a tyre ....watch the sparks just after he loses it coming from the o/s rear wheel area

that must have fookin hurt

pugo

 

ouch!! looks like a nice big helping of panic lift-off oversteer did anyone else see the camera cars windscreen wiper come on?? get rid of all the plastic and glass thats raining down

 

Got it in one

 

nasty, how do you know its a replica tho?!

 

Bloody hell that's bad!!!!!

So is it an S1 or not? I can't see any stripes. It seemed to disintegrate on impact too.

 

think the sparks where from the wheel where the tyer sed fuck it i cant hold on any longer

 

Don't think it's very funny to be honest, and nor does it matter if it's a real S1 or not - still a nasty crash.....

Looks to me like a blow out on the o/s rear tyre causing the fish tailing leading to the crash. IMO that has nothing to do with lack of talent - you all might think your more talented than that with your driving, but I know that if you've never exprienced a high speed blow out then you ain't gonna be able to control it either. Even if you have, chances are it's gonna be outside your control aswell

 

Calm down Thrush...I just wondered what car it was?

 

Mypost wasn't directed at any one person so don't flatter yourself. It was directed at all who made a joke of it, and those who thought it was funny enough to belittle the fact it (might) not be a real S1 (like that matters at the end of the day, an Escort is an Escort - same car diff engine end of the day)

People are quick to laugh at things like this cos it's on a PC screen so "not real" but if it was one of you guys in the vid then you'd be pretty pissed off if peeps were just taking the piss out of you and laughing at it like it don't even matter....

Oh and nothing to calm down about - I am totally calm

 

Don't flatter myself!!! What are you talking about?

Go back to bed mate and get out of the right side when you get up next time.

I'm not going to argue with you even though it seems you are itching for a PC war today.

You've made your point now.

 

 

Reminds me exactly of what a certain BMW did one cold night en-route to Mike R's!

 

far to agressive on the steering and that coupled with a lift off the throttle could easy caused an unballance at the back end to which it started to slide and spin. The sparks look like the O/S/R tyre being ripped off the rim or maybe a low tyre pressure on that wheel.

I have almost spun my RST by being agressive on the steering and just lifting off the throttle @ 25mph in 1st gear! The back came right out and was lucky the speed was low and was able to get it back into some sort of shape
