The dude is basically pissed, and drives his car at 162mph (shade over 260kph), hits a small bump, goes for a fly, powerpole slices thru the car. Cabin and engine part ways and carry on. Just look at the impressive photos in the link if nothing else (top right link in the link above).. He gets a cut lip...

Cops also find a clip from a gun too, so not great. A scottish bank also reckon they own the car (we know what the scotts are like, ay ff), and now the bank have his Merc SLR..

I've been watching that story for a while now too BJ. Some interesting facts in that, cheers

[WRT]

Happened a little while back, been all sorts of rumours about it. Supposedly fraudulently paid for, rumours he was being chased by the mob, all sorts. Some more pics, and in particular check this pic here (http://www.wreckedexotics.com/special/enzo/mash.jpg) and a summary of "facts" here (http://www.wreckedexotics.com/special/enzo/).

The life and times of the rich and famous, eh?

I was just amazed at how the twot got away with a cut lip when you split a car in half at that speed.. that'd be one hell of a ride

[WRT]

And one other point - why is it that when ever I look at a crash like this (or of litre bikes for that matter), that I cant help but think what a great go-kart engine that would make???

[bugjuice]

yeah, I'm the same!
well, litre bikes would make awesome gokart engines..
that'd be nice in a kit car or speedboat.. :yeah:

Here's some cool 1+ litre Go Kart footage... Hope you have Broadband.
