I believe that posting pictures in this section is still blocked, AFAIK. This follows the time when that pillock was posting obscene pictures here.
I cut-and-pasted that link into the address box of my browser to see the piccy.

They were bloody lucky to get out of that unscathed seeing how the windscreen scructure has collapsed!

It was apparently their Dad's car. Can you imagine that phone call
The left hand door of it was also ripped off...very lucky indeed.

intersting perspective you have - having your door ripped off is hardly what I would call lucky

Oh dear how sad!
Maybe when they fix it they will make all the panels fit properly.
Mind you it would be difficult to get them as bad as when they come out of the factory!

There is a picture of it in Autocar this week - they report that their Dad didn't know they had taken it so there was some explaining to do!
Shame to see one of such a rare car destroyed with probably very little chance of it getting fixed due to lack of parts availablility.
Did you enjoy the track day Andy? Wish I could have gone, but as I said, a Diesel Berlingo hardly seemed ideal!

I think he meant that not following the door, or not having your arm ripped off, was the lucky bit!

Andy,
It was a great day and the GT1 never missed a beat all day and the cooling to the rear brakes appears to have paid off.
By the end of the day I thought I was going well until I the wife said the SR4 was 20 seconds a lap quicker Having said that, not only was his car
well sorted but he new how to drive too.
There was only 18 (17) cars there so the track was practically empty. I did not take the mileage down, but I reckon I did between 250-300 miles so I
was knackered by the end of it all
