Reminds me of an old episode of Aufweidersaine Pet, where Jimmy Nail learnt the German for "slow down" from a German prostitute!!

we were UNDERTAKEN on a dual carraigway so fast by an Audi RS6 it blew a Caterham R400 just inches away from hitting the central barrier at 90mph....

So your admitting that you and your group were all being fast lane warriors then? :P

"Er, Sowwy lads!", the first driver to spin and instigate the accident was heard to say.

[Madmatt74]

Blame the Prius!!

If it wasnt there, they wouldnt need to overtake!

Lets jump on the health and safety band wagon and ban all Prius's before another acciedent happens!


I'd love to see the insurance report and final cost for this one!

i remember reading (online; so could be complete BS) about a white testarossa in japan being involved back in 80's and 90's street racing/wangan running, when is was much more prevalent

cant be many about, white testa's.
would hope all are okay.

Of course! :-)


I doubt it is the most expensive crash, there is a lot of 355s ( or certainly many bits ) laying around . I bet a parking scrape in a Veyron damaging the door and 2 wheels and tyres would cost you a couple of 355s....

I am loving all the comments too you get when a Supercar is crashed, usually aimed at the driver not being able to handle the car.

Correct!
If they could handle the car they might not have had the accident.
What does this story say to me ?
I'd guess that they were all following too closely and not concentrating, a common theme when cars are in a convoy such as this.

Well, there is a white Testarossa in the Wangan Midnight anime/manga...

Massive pricks crash in the dry and the story gets repeated constantly for fooking days shocker !!!!!!

How do you know they were massive pricks?

Are Massive Pricks able to identify others of their kind so easily?

Also doubt it is the most expensive as people getting seriously hurt/killed much more expensive than a few cars, however nice the cars (I mean financially more expensive through hospital costs, loss of earnings, inquest costs, etc as obviously any fatality is more serious than just repairable/replaceable objects).

"The Ferraris are worth several hundred thousand dollars each".

Err... no.

Might have been an idea to learn some proper driving skills if you are going to belt around in a 'supercar'.

I remember reading an article a few years ago which said at a model launch the Japanese journalists (test drivers?) got the cars last as they had a tendency of crashing them.
