Yep so many have been wrapped, the press car back in 1999 was trashed on a test drive. Changes were made to the early cars power delivery.

Hope no one is hurt !

Drivers that fled the scene especially with injured people should be jailed and the key thrown away

Vehicle check shows untaxed since April last year, mot just done on 11th of this month and car probably off road since Dec 2016 when previous mot ran out (or maybe April). I'd guess the owner was waiting until month end to tax it. Silly boy is likely to get strung up for that and deservedly so.

Terrible sub-editing:

"Enquiries are ongoing to trace the driver, who fled the scene, and the vehicle has been seized for forensic analysis. Both were taken to Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton for treatment."

Further to my last the picture on the BBC Website show the 3200 with a rear wing... WHY!!!!

Clearly it didn't improve grip...

I think that is the boot bent up and popped Martin; clearly ran out of talent, possibly drunk, why else would you run?

Thats a bit of a mess, looks like they got out ok which is the important thing. One thing that still impresses me about the 3200, and I guess the 4200 is the same, is how strong that cabin cage is, I have seen them rolled over and never is the roof collapsed, and indeed front and rear impacts they do seem strong. Its always sad to see another one gone, no doubt someones pride and joy.

Hmmm... Seems it only passed its MOT on 11th March after being laid up since last March (Dec 16 MOT expired), possibly new owner or in trade as not taxed since April 17

Saw this on the BBC website, apparently the police know who the driver is and is being sought by police.

Hopefully justice will be quick. Like the guy who killed three youths in Hayes. He got 13 years, which is nothing for murder (he was twice over the limit)

Murder ?

Mileage will be a MOT tester with fat fingers

I wonder if it was insured, Might explain why he ran away
