i actually got these pics emailed to me the day it happened. we bought a car off these guys for a family friend. we went down to have a look and omg, as funny as it is, he really is lucky no one was shopping for a beemer that day, coz they wouldnt be living today. i think he ended up writing off 5 cars, with some just going in for repairs. you could see the skid marks on the road where he gunned it, and he got airborne after he hit the gutter

If I recall... I don't think it was a test drive. It was owned by a young bloke.
Mummy and Daddy paid the insurance and all the rest was in their names.
Too fast, didn't make the turn....

But I have been wrong before! :P

it wasn't owned by the dealer, funnily enough, i was on my way from school (just down the road) to work (the ford dealer just up the road). used to see this guy thrashing this car all round bundoora, ****ed myself when i saw it. everyone who goes round that corner hammers it, there's alot of workshops up that road!!!

Fortunately it would appear that no Fords were harmed during this incident.

So if he was running from the cops is that enough reason for his insurance to be void?
