this is what happens when a BMW driver presses that little button called "traction control off" and tries to show off at a roundabout!!!

i hope this guy never has to battle with a mk 1 cavalier like i do!!!

sorry, i'm hardly with it either!!!

though, i think if you look at the website the skid marks across the road seem to come from the outside lane!!!

theres lots of myths about this incident, including the fact that it was "daddies car, and daddy was away on buisness, so kid borrowed car, crashed it and daddy has to pay some outrageous repair price..."

edited to add 'cos kid wasn't insured!!!

Another clue;
The BMW is more than 3 inches from the Volvo's bumper

Looks pretty real to me.

If I owned the car, I'd be exceptionally pissed off:

a) that darling Tarquin took the car out for a spin without my permission taking Morton & Mostyn with him.

b) that the tossers screwed up the whole front valance pushing the car off the barrier.
