immortalpuppet Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I was in Jaks when it happened and got a few pictures, will upload them when my hangover clears up a bit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cret Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 You never watch The Professionals then? Yeah but I never even thought a capri could do 114mph! Neither would I. And I used to own a 1.6 GL Capri after my friend's parents gave me it because it was rubbish. And oh how rubbish it was! Must have had a good tailwind to accomplish that, but even so, I'm guessing it didn't end up driving into the front door of the pub like the berk that did a short while ago.

Cret Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 Just.... well..... how?! I'd almost expect to see some broken crates lying nearby with splattered watermelon everywhere, and perhaps a few chickens running about wildly in a scene like this.

gidderwook Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 The van was stopped and waiting to go into a parking space. The black clio thing didn't see him until late and tried to go round him, clipped the back of him and rolled it. That then pushed to van into two parked cars on the prom (including mine).
