What happened to 330Ci on Epinettes?
Discussion
Does anybody know what happened to the BMW 330Ci which was on Epinettes?
On Sunday evening, after a lot of people had left, a group of cars (Elise, MX-5, TVR) started doing donuts - and making a right mess of the grass - and the 330Ci joined in, overcooked it and ended up with steam pouring from its engine. (I'm guessing blown head gasket???)
Last thing I saw was it leaving on Monday morning on the back of a low loader :-(

Smashed up Jag XKRS on Garage Vert too! Apparently tried to drive through a very sandy part of the site following a Range Rover and it blew a rear tyre ripping the body work to bits.
some friends camping there saw this. You say "tried to drive through a very sandy part of the site following a Range Rover", they say "hammered, drove it in to a sandy bit and spent 5-10min ragging the nuts off it before recking the car, seeing the damage, sobering up a lot, then sitting there for a couple of hours with shell shock".850R said:

I've no sympathy for these idiots, if you want to act like a d*ck then pay the consequences

Some bottom feeder in a Blue Mk2 Escort spent most of Sunday night on Blue Nord last year coming close to wiping out some kids sleeping in tents and others, treating his mouth-breather mates to his less than precise donut skills. That car ended up on the side of the motorway with bits falling from the engine to much delight of the many passing by.

the second account is a very accurate description of what happen .. it looked like it had been hit a IED
Anyone have any pics? 
I think it was 2011, a PHer trying to do a burn out in his Punto 20VT by Bleu Sud, next to the track wall.
Engine: POP!
Fluids all over the road.

Seeing him on the side of the motorway on the way home was the best post race moment last year, we even had a laugh about him on the way down this yearSome bottom feeder in a Blue Mk2 Escort spent most of Sunday night on Blue Nord last year coming close to wiping out some kids sleeping in tents and others, treating his mouth-breather mates to his less than precise donut skills.

This was all Sunday evening I presume on the various sites? Just confirms that my group is right to leave in the afternoon...
The XKR was on the Thursday! We ere camped very nearby, but of rubber everywhere and very lucky nobody got seriously hurt. The car was wrecked, tyre exploded and ripped nearside wing apart, damaged chassis and pushed ‘b’ pillar foreword.....right bloody mess of a nice car. The group went very quiet after this event....thankfully!Several years back during the Classic an idiot was showing off on the Chemin au Boeufs driving a Ferrari race replica. Coming down from the stadium on the left hander before the roundabout for the back entrance to the circuit he lost it big time. Destroyed the chain link fence, went through several tents and ended up under a lorry trailer. How no one got killed I have no idea.
The guy in the mk2 escort doing doughnuts on blue nord last year was the main reason i never went this year, absolute gullible idiot being encouraged by his half pissed mates, then someone decides to set fire to someones tent and then threw a gas canister on it, was extinguished by the pit fire crew, i guess local police are not interested in brits hurting brits.
