Just passed a red Enzo that has crashed into another car on M25, anyone on here?

Didn't look bad enough for anyone to get seriously hurt but the front was a mess..... Hope all are OK

I hope the Enzo is alright. To me that is quite literally GOD on wheels.

A mate of mine phoned me at 5-45 to say he'd seen a smashed Enzo at J8.

I saw this too - pretty nasty! Looks like it had an altercation with a Pug 206.

i should charge for this story!!!! i was behind the enzo (with passenger) when it entered the slip road leading onto a wet m25. It entered the slip road at junction 8 reigate behind a small saloon and as soon as it could it merged onto the motorway. the driver put his foot down (unbelievable exhaust sound) and moved into the middle lane. The motorway was not that busy.The driver then moved into the fast lane. The driver then put his foot down again but the damp conditions caught him out and he spun clipping a small saloon and then doing 360 before hitting the armco on the hard shoulder crunching the front right wing and the whole of the front of the car ending up straddled across the hard shoulder and lane 1. The front and right wing were destroyed but both occupants were ok save for a burn to the drivers right arm caused probably by the airbags deploying. I offered the driver (while he was still in shock) £1,00 for the car as it was but he declined my offer!!!!!! I think this is the closest i will ever get to an enzo and although it looked a sorry sight it still looked fabulous it had personalised number plate ENZ 4_i think the owner has a few bob! At no time did i think the driver was driving recklessly i think the greasy road surface just caught him out

I suppose when you have got that power, and try to unleash it all at once, bad things can happen!!

Anyone know who owns that?

Assuming I'm not missing an in-joke or something adn that this is a straight post...

Did you give him your details as a witness?

As there was another car involved the Police will probably try to charge him - even if it's just for without due care and attention.

He could use a sympathetic witness!

Police do not get involved in damage only accidents unless the are allegations involved, they leave the mess for the Highways guys to clear up.

Saw this on my drive home from work, a very shocking and sad sight!

That bit of the M25 has armco on both sides, as above front end was a real mess. I thought I'd had a bad day until I saw this!

Hope the insurers pay up ok, wonder if it'll be repaired?
