Booked today off to go fishing.
Got a call off the missus about lunch time as her as shes about to go shopping with my little 2 year old, she's in hysterics... "THE CARS ON FIRE!"
FUCK... im 45 mins away... 140mph rush home to find the cars completely fucked.
..... to make it worse i got home and then reversed into someones brand new golf, caving in their quarter panel.

Sorry to hear that mate. Hope the wife & kid are ok.
My cousin watched his 400bhp 200sx s13 go up in flames, 22k down the drain.

Well there was a complete jeb end in a 04 plate white 1.2??? corsa and ive never seen anyone drive like a complete bellend around the islands in al my life. Rages me because its people like him who do this around normal folk who just want to use the road who make it dangerous and the police come  I said to a friend i put money on the fact he will crash, and guess what he did! It always seems to be the geek bellends like him in slow ass cars that cause all the problems. The guys with the skylines, evos, drive alot more sensible and make it enjoyable (tend to be older. But saying this im young i shouldnt be writing this, but im not a jeb when it comes to things like this). Where was the other crash?
I was suprised how fast the 150 bhp 1.9 cdti astras are. Had a good old tussle with one and couldnt gain on it no matter how hard i tried (and i did try)  . Probably the car that shocked me most all night tbh!
Fiesta st's.....

I didn't see either crashs, I just went to watch later on so I missed it, there was a 200sx hanging its arse out round the little roundabout, you seen the astra with the mobster number plate, that seems to go alright.
