What an idiot. I hope the police see the footage and prosecute him.

Usually it's Mustang drivers

FFS he was lucky if he was doing 20 when that stepped oot, should be able to control that with all that room on the road he had.
Typical crap driver in powerful car.

If this is the same one I saw elsewhere recently, the pictures of the aftermath seemed to show a hell of a lot of filler in that wing for a "perfectly restored" car.

What a tool.

DXP55 · 4 Jul 2019 at 18:59

Bazza - I thought that - a lot of white.

A shame the householder didn't give him a slap too for demolishing his wall. That would have finished his day off perfectly.

Occasionally it's the driver's mechanic just 'testing' the newly installed parts... less occasionally, if the mechanic is a good driver, thankfully!!

Happens all the time, i heard a story from a few years ago of a mechanic taking a customers MX5 for a road test after a service. Customer was on his way to the dealer when he was called by the manager, his car was upside down in a ditch just off one of the main bypass's big roundabouts. Silly we **** had lost it on the cold road giving it "large" and wrecked the car.
Noob + RWD = whoops.

I'm guessing a live axle an it's an old american car.

Nasher · 4 Jul 2019 at 20:17

Live axles on the new ones as well lol

Lucky not to hit the tree.

This is even worthy of of a DM link let alone it's own thread on the prestigious OcUK forums?

Next door neighbour was there on the weekend, told me he thinks it was the owners mate that was taking it out for a spin and that he did a runner afterwards :eek:

Dis86 · 4 Jul 2019 at 23:25

Also pretty sure the intake isn't legal on that thing!

That's a negative. Camaro, Mustang, Challenger, Charger (even the Hellcats) – they are all equipped with IRS these days. Most have been for some time.

So's the Corvette, but that's been independent all round since '62.

Of course, you'll still find solid axles in some applications (aftermarket set-ups, pickups, 4x4s, etc.) – but you'll see similar here, and in other markets, too.

Not that it would have made any difference in this case, mind. IRS or not, that thing was going into the wall.
