Are you sure that's a wr1? It looks silver to me It's difficult to make out the colour because you can see a sort of blue/green in it though

def a WR1 - you can see the driving lamps and grill set - and a bit of the sticker.

Well it was a WR1!!!!!! Hope the driver was ok!!

These cars frequently look silver in bad light and on lower MP cameras.

On the plus side there's a burnt out nova in the background!

I can see the colour a bit better on my other screen now. I didn't spot the mesh. What a waste I thought that was a 350z next to it but I've just noticed that it's a roof chop focus

Strewth. That hit something very hard very fast. Passenger airbag went off too, wonder what the passenger was thinking a second before the impact....?

How about,

"This car's too fast/going too fast for this incapable driver/these road conditions/this bit of road" (delete as appropriate).

"That car shouldnt have pulled out on him/Should have applied the handbrake on this steep hill/Shouldnt have slept with that guy with the hammers' wife" The list is endless, but I also think your excuses 'could' be along the right lines.

I think the tree/lamp post won!
Are the wheels for sale I wonder.
Should think the tyres might have flat spots though?
60 to 0 in .0003 secs. God it was fast at stopping

In my opinion that is a fairly low speed impact...with a large diameter tree.

I would guestimate less than 40MPH.

Nah..? Surely not...? The V looks quite sharp to me, like it's a smaller diameter tree made of very hard wood or maybe a special concrete or iron tree..!

Would have thought if it was a large diameter tree it would be more err.. C or ( shaped if you get my idea..?

Still made a fair old dent in it whatever it was. What a waste of (IMO) a verrry nice car. At least it didn't end up like the Ferrari in the other thread...

Noway that was 40mph or below, the pic below is what 40mph headon into another car does to a classic scoob. They are feckin strong, mostly due to the substantial bonnet, bumper and front member. And I know the newage scoobs are stiffer/stronger than a classic. The bumper on the one below was still complete, ok cracked n chipped to buggery but still whole! Notice both my airbags went off to, but no intrusion into the cabin

bioforger....a tree is harder than another car! Cars are designed to crumple - a tree will not. I see plenty of these accidents on a weekly basis.
