:eek:

It's going to be a whopping insurance claim.

GT3 RS - £12-15k guestimate

Petrol pump

BP station closed for the day - revenue loss

Golf squashed by petrol pump

Double ouch!

Go on - post this over on PH.... :norty:

eta - forget that - just found it!

V-tec just kicked in YO!

Yeah - it is all over PH!


Just think if it had been a turbo he probably would have missed the garage completely ;)

Probably diesel on the floor, but thats a fair speed to do that much damage.

I would hope so - there's a Shell station further on.
No turbo owner should be putting BP in their car :p

GTARSe more like.

Was probably trying to keep up with a GTR :lol:

I actually heard that as he was passing the GTR it nudged him off ;) :p

"Watch this!"

Here is a picture of the petrol station concerned. Once you see this the mind boggles as to how he did that!!!

Petrol Station

Looks like he has gone down the slip road much too fast, hit the first pump and spun round. What do you reckon?
Edit: or the second pump maybe.

how the hell did he manage that!!!!!!

Tit !

Du reckon youll get it cheap Trout ?

Could have been much, much worse had it sparked the fuel storage tanks.

Very silly indeed and a real waste of a nice motor.

Assuming no engine and gearbox damage this could sell for £50k easily. Looks very mendable to me.

The overall claim will probably make it a write off though and that is the word in the market. The most difficult bit will be that parts will be more difficult to get outside the network as it is such a new model.

Someone like Autofarm could sort this easily.

Buy for £50k, £15k to mend, worth £80-90k even as a Cat D.

I would assume all the fuel (other than in the hoses) is stored underground and they have some kind of fail safe to stop a spark etc going down.

Then again its a BP station so the safety mechanism has probably been neglected :lol:

Simon

Swanley - say no more

The car was on cup tyres and hit a large puddle = aquaplaned into the petrol station.
(these are the cup tyres that are possibly going to be banned for road use next year)

I have Cup tyres on mine. it would have to be a deep puddle as mine have been fine around the lanes through the puddles.

Mind you if you were going to fast for the conditions....

When my cars have "Cup" tyres, I replace them.

Holy sh*t, what a bender.........:lol1:

What is worse - to have smashed up your brand new GT3 RS, one of only 30 in the country? Or to have it splashed over every BBS and news channel in the country?

That is on my Daily commute every day i did wonder why there was soo much traffic a few weeks ago someone said a car hit the pumps small world :)
And in Fairness it had been raining hard all day the first real spell of rain after the summer so the roads would of been greasy anyways but still muppett

90K for a Cat D? Someone has been smoking some 'erb'! :D

The engine and gearbox will be worth £35-40k alone.

It's not a high speed crash.

Sure he didn't try and do some stupid maneuver into the gas station and overcooked it like missed the brake or something?
