Went to a RTC the other night, female ::) driving her boyfriends car, which he had just purchased 2 hours previously. The car was an 04 plate absolutely (before the accident) stunning Subaru Impreza WRX in that electric blue. Not a fan meself but it 'was' in impeccable condition even whilst on its roof!!!!! :'( :'( :'( :'(
Can you just imagine THAT conversation :o :o :o :o :D :D :D :D

'Fly on the wall' jobby ;D
Hope they were ok, though, and accident not due to 'stupidity' :(

That girl's got some 'making up' to do!! ::) ;D

Back when I was young and stupid, I spent a lot of nights at Maidstone Bridge where there was a lot of
automotive activity street racing. One night one bloke wrote off his own car(serious Mk2 Escort), his spare car(previous Mk1 Escort) and his girlfriend's car, all against the granite wall outside Fremlins. That would have been another interesting conversation in the morning.

In appropriate speed for the conditions... nearly 103 years of hindsight and nothing changes... ::)

One of the crash investigators used to say that the cause of most crashes involving performance cars was Too much car, not enough driver. And crashes with a young driver? Driving like a c!*#
Having recovered lots of crashes, I find it very hard to argue with.

I spent a lot of nights at Maidstone Bridge
Used to be Saturday nights at Chelsea bridge for me, followed by a quick blast up the A4 to Heston services for a cuppa and then back again.
Sundays were reserved for "Sunday night at the mile" (a 1 mile long straight of dual carriageway on the A217 which was more commonly known as the "Mad Mile" where motorcycle headlights generally illuminated the sky rather than the tarmac in front of them)......those were the days :'(

Last Saturday of the month was about the only night we missed, and that was to go to Chelsea. Used to take over an hour to drive around the circuit. The best night was when it fell on New Year's Eve, no police and racing across Albert Bridge. Happy days.
We went to Southend a few times, but found it too dull for the roundtrip.

Pah.
You Oldies were worried about the Police? Back then, if you were lucky you'd get a Mini...... If you were very unlucky you'd meet a Zephyr, or an MGA. I could outrun those on a pushbike! ;D
This is what I had to contend with;

And I didn't get a 'telling off' or a 'clip around the ear'ole' I'd get a bloody summons!
Old Un's eh? Don't know they are born! ;D

Ah the old 'Jam Butties' 8)

They had Mini Metro's and Rover SD1's in my day, alas (for them) neither was a match for a GSX 750 ET that was piloted by a loon with no sense of danger or death ;D ;D
We used to say among ourselves back then (1982) that if the police wanted to catch us they'd have to have vehicles that could at least match us for power to weight ratio, it took them the best part of 20 years to follow that advice ::)

Twice I've been stopped for "driving in a manner likely to cause early arrival", once was a fully marked Focus (d'oh), once was a 330d estate. Oh, and once got stopped at 3am in my vRS. "Dave, is it?" "no! I know how this sounds, but I have seriously only just bought it".
