    Default Maltese Charity Car Show (Paqpaqli Ghal-Istrina 2015)

    Well, today I went to the local car show. It was great, saw many cool cars (which included 4 R34 GT-R's and 2 GT-R's which are my favorite) and among all the cars were a single Nova and a couple Corsa B's I didn't manage to snap a picture of, but then came the Creme de la creme, the P1, LaFerrari, 918 Spyder and CCX-R.

    Sadly, the show ended in tears as this happened.

    Sadly, one of the 20+ injured happens to be a 6 year old girl who is currently in critical condition, with major trauma to her head.

    I'll post pictures shortly if people wish. Maybe I'll post my favorites and the ones of the Corsa and Nova.

    Some sources say that one person has died. It is very unfortunate.

    Porsche don't seem to be doing themselves any good adverts. First a Porsche killed Paul Walker, now injured over 20.

    Just some plastic barriers, and some metal grates right by the people.

    Concrete barriers were further up where they were absolutely pointless. Maltese health and safety at its finest.

    Looking on the website the McLaren P1(best car evAr) Porsche918 and Ferrborei La Ferrborei belong to Paul Bond, I'm sure that's the guy that was on Top Gear or some similar program not long back buying them 3 on the same day, seemed very smug about the 918 but seems to forget its shit...


    Compared to the McLaren (they happen to make the best cars in the world!)

    The McLaren is the car I went to see. Where my mates and I were standing happened to be the exact spot the car shifted up for the last time. The sound it makes when flying by at well over 200 is just incredible. The rear end of that thing makes me feel much more fuzzy than any rear end on any woman..

    Nothing to do with Porsche. Paul Walker's idiot mate killed Paul Walker. Paul Bond has injured these 20 people, admittedly with a contribution from the organizers with their complete lack of proper safety barriers.
