I did a search on the forums and couldn't find this posted, so here it is:
One less of these GTs in New Zealand now. Still, could be worse, could have been an original GT40. Plenty more where this one came from.        From what I can tell, the car has come around the left hand corner, lost the rear, got some grip while sideways and drifted nose-first onto the left hand curb and hit the pole sideways with the front right of the car. Cabin looks well intact though. Timmeh Last edited by Timmeh; 31-01-2006 at 11:13 PM. |

What the hell is it with the latest spate of kiwis destroying exotics?!?!!!! That's just painful... more painful than that famous pic of the trashed Murcielago... also in NZ.
That man should be locked up and have the key thrown away. Would that be possible to salvage engine etc given it's in the rear? Anyone got a spare $50k and a Falcon bodyshell? Mmmmm

Pretty sure it was on here as I got it off a forum yesterday and posted them on my work forum today. Maybe it was one of the other forums I visit.
You didn't find these on the defence forums did you? |

The interior is still in really good shape. That guy wouldnt have had to get his legs chopped off or anything. Maybe he walked away. Considering the condition of the rest of the car, wow.

The thread that this come from originally was a cack. About the third page turns into a cat fight of sorts. But throw in some kiwi accents, some "cuz's" and some "bros" and its better than the pics

So sad to see. If they can't get it back on the road I hope the engine can be put to good use somewhere else.
