Owain-328i Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 the car was not armoured. Just a standard S280. A lesson to put seatbelts on really. Interesting how its got so far into the tunnel then crashing. You'd imagine someone to lose it on the bend going in really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karmann Ghiaman Posted December 21, 2008 Author Share Posted December 21, 2008 Lots & lots of newly-qualified drivers have accidents because they don't know how to slow down properly on wide bends. Can't understand why driving instructors don't explain that one properly. However. Now for something a bit different, talking of tragedies. Today is the 20th anniversary of the Lockerbie murders which made Christmas 1988 so dreadful. But you have yet to see the most horrific atrocity of them all, which came as a direct result of that act of terror: http://www.darkelegy103.com/ Art lovers & anybody with good taste: you are strongly advised NOT to go there. You have been warned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Bo11ox Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 YACK! Think i'll give that a miss if it ever gets a permanent location!To be fair I once went to the 'baha beach club' on Newcastle's Quayside of a Friday night, and it wasnt a million miles off that.

Once the back end starts to fish tail its only a matter of time before you hit something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big cars rock for high speed sideways-ness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garycox Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 IIRC it was auctioned about 10 years ago for a ludicrous amount of money, I want to say £800k... that's ridiculous though, maybe it was £80k, or it could have been £8 I really can't remember Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garycox Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 After a bit of research, it went to a museum (in 1998), the guy apparently had offers of £2,000,000 ( ) though... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/145230.stm In other more recent news (2005...) the (old) pope's MkII went for a bargain £340,000, so much for SCENE TAX etc... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/4389652.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
