Dunno if anyone has seen this before frown



It is said "This perfectly good Dodge Viper SRT10 was crushed on the orders of the owners after it was used for "research" purposes.And this was in the UK."

IIRC from the thread in GG it was an 08 car that was brought over for engine development or something but as a test mule there was no duty paid on it, so once development was complete it was sent to meet its maker. Apparently the man from the ministry took a keen interest in making sure everything went in the crusher.

Exactly, we do the same in work with the GM pilot/mule cars, just this last month I sent 4 perfectly good Monaros and a few HSV's to meet their maker, If I can get the OK, I'll post up the pics, they are quite brutal.

I don’t care what reasons they make in defence to this waste, in this eco friendly environment we should be seen to recycle everything and remove ourselves from the throw away society we have become, so if any one / company are going to crush any exotic / performance cars whether test, wrong parked,or experiment, just let me have them not only will they be used till finished, they will also bring happens to me laugh
