I’m starting to see some picture up on my Facebook group in showing results of a crash whilst filming Top Gear.
Pictures of an F40, Diablo and XJ220 before filming. Pictures of a car covered up in a field and only the XJ220 and F40 by the roadside.

Picture look like it’s Harry Metcalfs Diablo former Evo magazine guy and Harry Garage.

Sorry if there is a thread running elsewhere.

  • Edited to change XJ 220 by the roadside not Diablo*

I didn't know Harry had a Diablo. A red Countach but not a Diablo

It was Paddy McGuiness driving it. Luckily not injured.

I thought he had both along with his testarossa.

Wet roads, old school super cars and a game show host.

Predictable biggrin

I'm confused. Which car is covered up in the field?

I've never seen a Diablo in Harry's Garage. He has a Countach and an Espada as far as I know.

He has per his videos
Testarossa which he’s taken all over Europe and down to the Sahara desert
Countsach That he’s had for a very long time bought without the wing then added it.
Lambo espada red / it’s been having a full engine and gearbox reduild since Oct 19 - finally went in last week

(Yes I watch a lot of his videos when on the ale it’s great).

I’ve seen a Diablo in the garage but that not necessarily his but he has mentioned that the Diablo is an undervalued Lambo so maybe he hopped on then Paddy ruined it for him.

I think you need to ask a mod to change thread titles.

I follow Harry’s channel on YouTube & I’ve not seen a Diablo in his lair. There’s been 2 red Countach (s??) side by side on occasion but the other one belongs to a pal of his who stores it at Harry’s place.

Mod if your reading this then could you change my obviously inept title to something more fitting. Like.

I tend to skip the bits that Chris Harris isn't in. But I remember watching Paddy review the M8 (I think?), and thinking to myself "why does his opinion even matter?", it may as well have been reviewed by my Mum.

If it is Harry’s then I’m sure he’ll have it insured plenty well. Not sure if the provenance of the Diablo but IIRC the 512 was a damaged repaired in the first place. Now it has company!

Can’t imagine a Diablo is in anyway forgiving when it decides it doesn’t like the driver.
