Yes, that's why on a floodplains you'll struggle to get insurance etc as most houses are CatC, but you can just buy it back for peanuts so most people do. I'm not sure how the Blitz has an effect on this atm
10 out of 10 for effort !!!!!!!!!

I like my TT, but I wouldn't want it in my living room. 
TT's aren't exactly light. He must have been doing a fair whack when he went all Dukes of Hazzard.

Yep. Having a CAT C on your house is a royal pain because you have to take the entire house to a DVLA inspection center to make sure it's identity hasn't been changed.
Feel very sorry for the family living there who are going to have a massive amount of disruption in their lives for quite some time. It's going to sting a bit for the insurance company as well, two expensive cars, garage, major structural damage to house, all moving fees and rent if the family have to move out etc.

Need someone to to the maths on the speed required for this flight.
Douche+Deadly Driving = Damaged Domicile
We can all be armchair experts and say he was going too fast, but he might have been only doing 30mph (still too fast in the conditions granted) Which would have given his car 21000kg.m/s

Even if he was doing 30 as he approached the corner, by the time it had gone through a bush and over two cars it wouldn't have punched through the corner of a house (the corner being far stronger than a flat wall). That was IMO very obviously not a 30mph incident.
Looking at it on google maps theres a massively long dead straight leading into that corner, good chance he got a bit of speed up thinking he'd drift the corner using the icey conditions and ended up doing that instead overestimating his skill. (Or just trying to take the right hand turn way too fast for the conditions).
As per picture someone posted earlier https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=lo...=LmirnC27IWVTWEV1TdZjeQ&cbp=12,203.39,,0,12.9

I don't need a degree in incident investigation to tell that the car wasn't doing 30mph.

Question. What if the owner of the BMW has told his insurance that the cars would be garaged? Would this invalidate his policy? 
Lovely bit of claret on the airbag there
Bet that sobered him up!
Don't think spilling his wine was high on the list of priorities at the time?

Yes, because you can never leave your car on the drive if you put garaged!
