Fat bird down the pub
Curvy Corrie Star Busts £500,000 F1 Car
Sally Lindsay made more than just an impression when she sat on a F1 racing car
Curvy Coronation Street star Sally Lindsay left race car owners with a £100,000 bill when she sat on a Formula One car – and broke it!
Actress Sally, who plays busty barmaid Shelly Unwin, was a guest of honour at a charity go-kart race.
But as she parked her bum on the half-million pound Jordan vehicle – built to withstand a 200mph crash – the carbon-fibre shell cracked open.
Ironically, her Corrie character Shelly is currently being forced to shed the pounds by her abusive onscreen lover Charlie, played by actor Bill
Ward.
An onlooker at the event said red-faced Sally looked horrified and added: “Sally just sat on the car and all of a sudden there was an almighty
crack.
She got up straight away but the damage was already done.
Sally looked rather sheepish - the car is worth a fortune. Its nose cone alone cost £25,000.
Some of the bosses were looking on in astonishment but they were too polite to say anything.
But once Sally had walked off they all gathered around to inspect the damage.
The car, normally driven by Heinz-Harald Frentzen, was one of the centrepieces of Sunday’s event organised by EastEnders' Shane Ritchie at
Manchester's Daytona centre.
A fan said: Sally is a very well-upholstered lass but I think it was really that she sat on the car in a particularly weak place.
Made me laugh

seems a bit convenient that as it fits the storyline. shes not even fat!
btw - the cars that go to events like that are not real race cars - they are replicas that are not fit for the track.

If Sonita had`nt tampered with the scales she may well have been better able to make an informed judgement on wether the said bodywork was capeable of
supporting her bodyweight successfully.

When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.
