It is.

My mate has the exact same car, cue a quick check to see if his was still where he'd left it. Seemingly there's only 5 red turbo's in the UK, trust there to be two in Aberdeen.

I had heard a rumour that the Porsche may have been squeezed off the road?

Looks like a case of ambition outweighing skill!

There must be three in Aberdeen - I know two others, and didn't know this car.

I find that attitude a bit grating just because it's a powerful car, we don't know what happened yet, could have been a number of causal factors.

Coulda been related to the other Porker in the pic? Wee race?

This was all over facebook yesterday unsurprisingly.

Plenty of people blaming the 911 driver for spinning out without knowing what actually happened, yes granted that may be the case, but if we're going to throw random conjectures in there my guess is an illegal immigrant from Algeria in a stolen Gallant(or whatever it is) who smokes Richmond menthols and has a keen interest in the occult and 911 conspiracy theories.

What do I win if I'm right?

A bit judgemental I'll admit, but given the evidence of the photograph, silver car in its correct lane, debris of accident in the same lane, Porsche in same lane clearly having come round the bend (from direction of travel) and crossed into opposing lane. Of course the driver could have had a black out or some other illness, but a lot less likely than my original assessment.

Looks like Cayman's handle better than 911's after all

[gogsboy]

They were trying to ram raid the Snap on van but failed miserably

[MidnightXR6]

He was racing another car early in the morning but didnt back off and lost it trying to squeeze in

Was listening to a guy in the gym slaggin his boss whos car that is off for it.

There's a long trail of coolant on the ground, so clearly there was momentum involved. At town speeds, it's pretty hard to get squeezed off the road like that. There aren't many such scenarios where you're better off crashing than just stopping.

There's a tiny chance I'm wrong, but I'd put money on excess speed being involved. It's hard to f**k up that badly at 30mph and yes I do know that piece of road very well!

Corner of Market Street and College Street, Aberdeen.

Regardless, I think College / Guild is more accurate as Bridge is one way at that point.

From that view, the Cayman looks better than the 997T. Even if it wasn't squished.
