The accident occurred literally on the first day

Who said the word literally is overused?

It's literally overused.

Why doesn't it surprise me that the guy in the photo is (literally) wearing a onesie?

Happened two days ago.

Apparently he's already wrecked an LP640 this month.

[Roo]

Add another one.

Jesus, bet the crew on the ferry shot an albatross for good luck when he arrived.

i never realised how big the wing mirrors were on 458s. That wrap really accentuates it.

Those tts are a danger to society.

Why don't they just go to a banger racing track and play demolition derby?

This is exactly the reason NOT to go on one of these. Don't get me wrong, they are fun to watch but seriously, if you are going to speed all over Europe, surely your aim is to not attract the attention of le BIB?! Your much better off organising a run of your own with people you trust and without the silly stickers!

Something about a fool and his money.

Oh well, at least nobody died (this time / yet).

They haven't been too succesful at that either.

I get the distinct impression that it is just a group of spoilt herberts having a circle wk about how great they all are and who is the most 'bonkers' as opposed to any sort of appreciation of driving.

I imagine the various country's plod are just waiting for them at every border! The Russian traffic police are complete ba*tards, i'm very surprised the organisers have routed through there. Anyway, he ho, as someone else just said, a fool and his money are easily parted!

I know that motorway near Mjolby (broke down on it last year) - it's pretty much dead straight and level. It takes a special sort of talent to lose it there.

Or a very wet motorway surface and an idiot driving too fast and aquaplaning... One of the two!

That would qualify as special.

I read on GF william's blog that it was terrible, terrible rain. All the more reason to be careful, of course. But apparently it was pretty bad conditions.

It's incredibly irresponsible, dangerous and an outrageous excuse for the super rich to flash their cash.



Brilliant really.
