Warning to street racers

[Anton]

This happened the other night, while street racing. Luckily no one was killed as he had no passengers. Had spoken to the bloke just before it happened. Please don't street race round town, as you can see, his nova didnt stand up to well...


Colchester: Driver's miracle escape
A teenager had an amazing escape after a town centre crash.

Although his Vauxhall Nova ended up wrapped around this road sign on Balkerne Hill, the 18-year-old driver suffered only gashes to his leg, according to police.

He was taken by ambulance to Colchester General Hospital and treated overnight, but was expected to be released today.

The Nova ended up bent almost double after the crash on the Middleborough-bound carriageway at 10.40pm last night

Police believe a silver car may also have been involved and are appealing for witnesses who should contact PC Gary Jay at Stanway traffic police on 762512

The lampost has a 40mph sign on it.

Looks like it was a tad more than 40 when he hit it.

i like the alloys.

[Gazza14SR]

fcuk me the front end is linkin its arse!

At least noone was killed, just goes to show why speed limits are enforced and try to prevent streetracing.

[ade]

wheres all the front gone!?

Like its just popped off and vanished.

I saw a similar "bizarre" looking crahsed nova the other day - it was in the middle of a dual carriage way - but the centre section was grass and tree lined and was about the width of the 4 lanes put together. This nova (a green one with a red mk2 bumper) was slammed into one of the trees in the middle - the whole rear end was so crimpled that the centre of the rear where the tree was was touching the drivers seat!

The tree looked ok!

odd thing was there were no skid marks or tyre marks - looked like someone just smashed it up then leaned it up against the tree.

Bonnet was popped up and rwsting on its stand like someone was trying to start it!

mad!

[Stuart]

i can see the scrappy ad now

"for sale yellow shell, light side damage"

[Ben (lurk75)]

Looks like a lot of money spent on it, any idea what he was running?

[Anton]

rumor was it was a 1.8 cav engine, not 100% tho

[dave.gsi]

nasty, looked like a nice car

[Ben (lurk75)]

This topic makes me laugh, Anton posted it to warn us all of racing and all the comments have been "hmm nice car that" etc... Not the desired effect :!:

[dave.gsi]

its just like the adverts telling you not to smoke, no one really listens to them

[Neil.]

how the hell did he actualy get outa the car, ive seen that car b4, saw a picture of it from the side on a driveway, cant remember where.

[?Marty?]

Nice colour!

It's not street racing that does that. It's shit & stupid car/driver.

Unrelated to street racing, i was in da pub on monday, when a car swerved onto the pavement, hit a lampost and flipped over, right outside the window.

It was full of people, and ended up a right mess. Stood there in the window and watched two cop cars block off the road, followed by two fire crews cut the wrecage to get the people out, and two ambulances take them away.

Why did this happen? Because the driver was smoking, and threw the lit fag out of his window. Only his window was not open, and the fag bouced off into his lap and burnt his legs (he was wearing shorts).

So he lost control of his car (road was 40mph) and wrote it off - losing two fingers too!

(Wonder if they were his 'smoking' fingers'? :lol: )

Maybe im just selfish about the value of human life, but id prefer if people didnt street race, not only for saving lives, but for when ever some youngster crashes, it bumps up our insurance premiums!

[Paul]

Your avatar mate! By the sounds of it, your not the worlds most perfect driver! :lol:

[Nova-Boy]

FCUK me what a mess!

[Evolution]

[Dannova12]

Theres a big difference between street racing and driving like a prick though!

[DUNOVA.]

The blokes a fuckin nutter I got told it was a 1.3 sr very very lucky boy to come out of that alive by the looks of things.Balkern hill is a dodgy place to race n e way :!:

[Anton]

[brian]
