He bought it at auction 2 weeks ago, picked it up last Saturday and did this on Thursday morning after owning it for 5 days.







Oops.

Anyone wanting any parts, he's breaking what's left.

Yeah he got out fine. Big bruise on his hip. No airbags went off at all!

I think he may have been driving a tad fast. No other cars involved, just a wall.

Are you a witness? pretty much bang on, although he knows the road, and obviously thought he could take it faster.

And the front end hit a wall and flipped not a rut, but very good working out!

What a guess

Just presumed the corner in the picture was the direction he came from and it's easy to work it out, drove a mates 172 Cup so know how light the back end of these are!
