It was Mercs demo car for pre booked public drives on Thursday. I wonder what they will do with it, fix body work and put back into the dealer network?

I bet he wished the straw bales were a bit softer!

Ah ha, so that's who it was that delayed the rest of us, and was a contributory factor to some manufacturers, especially after the Citroen also went off, only allowing their own drivers to drive up the hill.

One careful owner, low mileage etc........

So the photo is a C63 and the video is an E63...both bent! An expensive day for the press fleet!

I guess the text on the video is just incorrect? Although that may be a e63 interior?

Someone did the exact same thing in an Alpina BMW last year first thing Sunday morning. That corner really creeps up on you.

I thought that to start with, but did some googling and its definitely an E63 interior.

You are right about that corner. I remember seeing this happen at Goodwood in 1995.

I remember being impressed at how fast he was approaching the corner relative to all the other supercars...turns out the reason was he was just too fast! I was gutted that I"d run out of film in my camera (how old fashioned!) so missed the chance to take any photos of it

The video that jke11y posted was from a E63 as has been suggested above, the video below is the external view:

So a C63 and a E63 both claimed by Molecomb, The E63 looks to go in front end first and the pic of the C63 is all side damage from what I can see.
