May I pay my respects to the Saff ?

RIP Cossie may you rust in peace.




Yes I know im sad, but I bloody love these.

... think someone may be able to salvage the interior..? It was a leather one by the looks of things.

Totally agree with you, what a tragic waste of a classic car that's getting rarer and rarer thanks to situations like these...

You fking sad bd Re the interior comment.

These cars are rare because most were either broken for parts,or hardly ever used.

Hmmmm... fair point... not sure I'd want to sit on leather that someone removed themselves from the mortal coil on. Would be... uncomfortable...

The stains would probably wash out

Actually, bloodstains in cars tend to go slightly green and are a bugger to shift.

The cynic in me says that the picture of the screw is a little too perfect.

What do you mean by that? Someone's crouched down and taken a photo using a phone or camera with a flash. What's overly perfect about it?

I do agree, I would have expected big wide shots of the other screws, and plenty of other pics, rather than one where it looks like too much care has been put into getting a perfect shot.

Anyway, it's looking more and more like the screw can be discounted so it's a bit of a moot point.

This. I'd expect a wider shot showing multiple screws. Not just 1.

However, it matters not really.

So, now that the Plasterboard screws have been removed from the investigation, in terms of them being a cause, I'm interested to know whether the police will be looking for who placed them, as perhaps they were a deliberate attempt to falsify evidence.

I have also heard who was driving the Seat Leon that this Cossie was supposedly *not* racing, and they were heard to say that he was doing 110mph when the Cossie came past him like he 'was standing still'.

Interesting I thought.

Which word? 'Come' or 'Again'? Surely you use them every day? I know I do.

Cheers for looking, sounds strange for a dual carridge way. With that and the pic on the other page 80mph would have been going a bit quick. Infact based on that pic a entry speed of 80mph looks far too quick. Bearing in mind everyone in the car is seriously injured or worse there seems no solid evidence on the speed. Had it been 80 it would seem reckless, but no real proof.

It's a road that could very happily be a 70mph limit along there. The houses are behind either a fence or a wall, and there's nothing on the other side for people to cross to at that point. If anyone really did want to cross, there are bridges and underpasses.

If I'm ever test riding a bike in East London, and want a place to safely get a bit of speed up, then that's the piece of road that I'd pick. It's busier now than it used to be, but is still deserted at some times of day, with good visibility, a good surface, and no pedestrians.

Interesting point. I certainly wouldn't put it beyond the realms of possibilty. But surely if it was PTCOJ the perpatrators would have used generic screws and gloves.

Went past the site just now. Just lots of dead flowers there now. The marks on the wall go all the way to the top so the car must have rolled up the wall
