Story from today’s papers.

Picture in paper shows partially burnt out silver Cerbera!!!

“Newcastle United player Nikos Dabizas has escaped from a crashed car just seconds before it burst into flames.

The Magpie defender, who is now on the transfer list, was celebrating after Greece's 1-0 European Championship qualifying win over Ukraine on Wednesday.

Greek police say the 29-year-old player's car is thought to have developed steering problems.
The car crashed into traffic lights in Athens.
Dabizas, who joined Newcastle in March 1998, managed to get out of the car before it caught fire.

A spokesman for the Greek football federation, said the player was taken by ambulance to hospital with a broken arm.
No-one else is believed to have been involved in the incident”

Disturbing image, especially as that car (the bit that is still recognisable) looks identical to mine!

The really worrying thing is that the rollcage appears to have melted, and the remains of the car have melted into something that looks rather like a Chimaera

Ok, so you're driving along while pissed, having just celebrated winning your Euro 2004 group. You crash.

Do you say "I was pissed", or "there was a steering fault" to the reporters when they ask?

I think his mothers moustache got stuck in the steering boss.

I wouldn't have thought that Athens was a hotbed of TVR ownership.

Let's see. Athens. Ambient air temperature 40 degrees and some of the worst traffic congestion on the face of the planet in which to stand stationary for prologed periods.

The Cerb was probably on fire before it hit anything!

Seen this car rcently at Hexham (local dealer to Newcastle) so I would assume it was well maintained.

He must have taken it home with him to show the natives.

I subscribe to the "Sorry I was too Pissed to know what I was doing theory."

I had my first ride in that Cerb. It was the car that persuaded me to buy one. Shame it's ended up in such a sticky mess.
