It'll be alright, it's mendable, it'll buff out, it's ok, Gerace can fix it, it's alright, mummy?

Depends if it gets done through insurance! If the owner puts it in a shed, repairs it, back it comes. Not a Stat Write Off??

Yep, ive heard abou this one, its a cousin of a close mate of mine, apparently it is a very good replica.

The owner is a panel beater he just got it ready in time for the wedding.
Luckily it happened after the wedding but before the reception.

The best man and his missus was in the back, both got mildly hurt,

They say if the drivers missus was to also be in the front passengers seat, she could have really been hurt badly. She wasnt there luckily.

Aparentley the driver lit them up and the accelerator got stuck.

Why do that at a wedding?!?!?!

That looked to be in great condition.

These things are constantly getting stolen or destroyed.

It's such a shame.

Question.

How many actual real GT's are out there now?

I've heard they're rare and thus their ridiculous price but I see one been written off every week lol.

Probably had the dodgy mechanical linkages running off the firewall. Highly recommend a cable conversion

A sad sight, but I have been through sadder days, like my Grandma's funeral.

But from a motoring point of view, it is a sad sight.
