"CLUMSY Geoff Bond borrowed brother Peter’s £300,000 Jaguar supercar for a trip to Tesco — and wrecked it in a smash.

Geoff, 57, lost control of the 540-horsepower XJ220 when he stretched his leg and accidentally touched the accelerator.

The car shot across the road and hit a Mercedes in Truro, Cornwall.

Geoff said: “Peter was remarkably calm about it.” "

I'll be damned!!
My brother lives in Truro and saw it happen!
He even phoned me at the time to tell me!!!!
Apparently it wasn't too bad, just the front end was a bit mullered. According to bruv he 'T-Boned' the Merc when it pulled out in front of him.
