This Website May Make You Cry - Take A Look

In this weeks Autocar is a small article on the following website.

www.wreckedexotics.com

It is packed full of pictures of smashed cars such as Ferraris and Lamborghinis.

Great viewing for a Sunday afternoon.

Please take a look, but be careful you may need tissues, it certainly made my eyes water a bit.

Heres one picture of a smashed Ferrari F50 (cost £325,000 when new)



Regards

Tim

Just checking that everyone was paying attention.

Please delete this thread as it has already been covered.

I remember reading ages ago in one of the national papers that a drug dealer & his 2 mates died when he lost control of his F1 & it burst into flames

yeah, that was just round the corner from me. He was doing something like 120mph on a country lane in the wet on a corner overtaking another car. Lost it, hit a tree and the car disintegrated killing all the occupants. Happened in Great Easton, Essex about five hundred yards from his local Rolls Royce dealer. He was a good customer at the BMW dealership i worked at then.

I know the stroy your talking about, don;t think he was a drug dealer but the owner of the computer game software company EIDOS...

apparently they found the engine a long way up the road, it had been catapulted out of the car when it crashed...

Rowan Atkinson (MR. Bean) totaled his McLaren F1 too.... IDIOT....

This car is going to lose me my license one day. I LOVE IT!!!
