Ouch. But the back still looks fine. :>

Bet his friend was no swearing.

My boss was upset it's not a Vanquish V12, so his would go up in value!

It's scenes like this that stop be from buying a more powerful car. I drive my 1.4 badly enough.

Zero excuse on a residential street. At least nobody was killed or seriously hurt. I just don't understand how these people do it.

Apparently the driver blacked out at the wheel and pinned the accelerator, hence the lack of skidmarks. Helps if you read sometimes, instead of just jumping to conclusions.

The owner is not in the slightest bothered about the car...The driver who had borrowed it (for his brothers wedding of which he is the best man today) had a blackout whilst driving the vehicle hence why their are no skid marks.His foot was flat on the accelerator whe the emergency services arrived.He is now staying in hospital for observation and tests for the next few days (and will miss the wedding!!!) all in all a freak accident in a new car just for the grace of god it wasnt at school/peak time and no other people were involved.

I read that but funny how he has a blackout the moment he sets foot inside it. Maybe it was excitement?

wow!!! the guys very lucky, lucky in fact that he hit something quite soon after blacking out, imagine if he had blacked out, pinned the accelerator and hadn't hit anything till he hit ludicrous speeds!!!

Hmmm blackout .... pretty "convenient" in the situation. Wonder how many blackouts he experiences whilst under observation?

Seriously tho, hope the driver makes a full recovery.

That is a really bad smash, look how much he went through!

I hope the owner makes a full recovery, the car's had it's day though!
