I think he's let his top gear title get to his head! lol

He must have been driving friggin fast to do that as he is a good driver and knows how to handle a motor. Might bring him back to earth after a good scare.

"miracle" escape?

"The prang was embarrassingly low-speed and therefore not related to my handling of the car, thank God.
Judging by the photos the car looks barely damaged.

Don't think he's smashed this one up before. I know he destroyed one on a test drive before he bought the one above.

He has done over 30K in 15 years in that car hasn't he? Seems odd to 'lose it' after such a long ownership.

But thats only around 2k a year. Everyone has a moment now and again no matter how long they own a car. Guess things happen a bit quicker with that power on tap though

The roads were very slippery yesterday. As above, some times you just get caught out and with RWD and 600+bhp it's even easier to end up sideways through a post.
At least the guy is ok hey, love him or hate him he's made us all chuckle at some point.
