How fast was you going? looks more than enough speed to be pulling out with.

The zebra crossing is literally a few metres from the exit to the petrol station though?! So I assume either your car had a seriously inadequate braking system, or you flew out of the garage like bertie big baws??

*Edit.... I suppose it might be Gods way of punishing you for painting your roof black.

Let me test a theory....


You booted the shit out of it coming out the petrol station, understeered like a goon and went right into the lampost?

Doesn't look like wishbones gone in the other pics? I'm going with the understeered theory. Basically ran out of talent

On the upside it's fixable at least and parts are cheap enough.

How much for the arrows?

It would appear that from a standing start to just under 3 car lengths this clown has bitten the dust.

MIGHTY IMPRESSIVE!!

Look's even funnier on Google Maps - http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&so...00284&t=h&z=19

He might have lit them up straight from the pump Rick?? ...aiming to apex the exit perfectly and fade over to the outside of the lane before executing a textbook negotiation of the upcoming roundabout.... all thanks to the centre of gravity being that much lower given his lightweight black CSL-style roof.

I'm not saying this is what happened, but it's far funnier to speculate and invent different scenarios.

Guess it wasnt really worth speeding off from the station, & not looking as to where u were going..

always pays to pay attention to the road

Say that fuel has just cost u 5X the amount

Is this a (soon to be) for sale /breaking POST ??

It's such a surprise when people appear on those black and white boxes, especially when they're near a Supermarket..

Steering wheel slipped out of his hand most probably.

Gassed it out of the station without holding onto the wheel properly, probably driving single handedly while adjusting the choons and looking at the stereo before the bang.

Hahahahaha is all I have to say on this one, some good speculative comments made above which are obviously all closer to the truth!! Favourite quote being 'understeered like a goon', quality!!
