Infamous Shite in History.

[warren t claim]

Plenty of notable crimes in our history have involved shite.

 

Peter Sutcliffe was a true shiter, not just with his Rover P6 but a string of Corsairs.

 

Lord Lucan also used a Corsair to flee from the scene of his alleged nanny murder.

 

Princess Grace of Monaco met her end in a Rover P6.

 

The Mercedes S Class will always be associated with the 1997 Diana Princess of Wales fatal accident.

 

Any others?

Gillian Taylforth performed sexual acts on a slip road on the A1 in a Range Rover

Sutcliffe also had a black Sunbeam Rapier and a green Mk1 Capri. He drove a Ford Transcontinental truck in his job, too.

 

From the news reports of the time, I recall that a red Mk1 Cavalier and a silver Renault 18 got caught up in the Lockerbie bombing, as they were being driven on the A74 when parts of Pan-Am flight 103 hit Sherwood Crescent in the town, which was next to the road. Apparently, their occupants survived without serious injuries.

This sort of thing?

Lucan's borrowed Corsair (just before he escaped to his brothers farm in Africa, where he died in 1979)

Would this qualify?

This is definitely history, and the suitably shite Trabant seems intrinsically linked to it:

RAC Rally, 1998(?): Tommy Makinen slides on oil dropped by an Imp, the resulting impact of car against a concrete block leaves him with suspension damage that causes him to be forced out of the rally.

The turning point of the entire strike.

Fantastic!

That Harold Shipman one proper cracked me up.

 

Maybe it's just the autoshite way, but Princess Diana to me always means Metro.

Diana, Dodi, and Henri "Pissed" Paul had no chance. What with QE2 driving the Uno, MI6 on scooters and the Duke of Edinburgh coming up the Seine on the back of the Loch Ness Monster with a blunderbuss, they couldn't miss.

As there seems to be an assassination theme..

[Lufthansa-Terminal]

On Saturday, 21 March 1981, Mike Hailwood set off in his Rover SD1 with his children Michelle and David to collect some fish and chips. As they returned along the A435 Alcester Road through Portway Warwickshire near their home in Tanworth-in-Arden, a truck made an illegal turn through the barriers into the central reservation, and their car hit it. Michelle, aged nine, was killed instantly; Mike and David were taken to hospital, where Mike died two days later, aged 40. David survived. The truck driver was fined £100.

And now for who really destroyed the mining industry, and also one of the biggest f*ck*ng criminals this country has produced...

Harrods car bombers used one of these.

 

What was the IRAs vehicle of choice for car bombs and general terrorist activity?
