Heard through the grapevine that a Subaru driver acted in a dispicable way a few weeks back.

Took on another smaller car in a mindless challenge.

The other car hit the central reservation after the Subaru cut infront.

Driver of other car sustained multiple fractures and other potentially serious injuries.

Subaru driver drove away from scene, didn't even stop for 5 mins to see what had happened.

Now is this how Subaru drivers really want to be remembered?

Maybe the driver uses ths website.

Who was he?

His car would have picked up significant damage...

Own up, whoever you are, face the punishment like a man...or are you too scared to?

Shock horror! Subaru doesn't vet it's drivers before allowing them to drive the car

But that sounds bad. I can't see the driver coming forward, as they'd likely face a charge of dangerous driving. Not that there's any evidence...

At the end of the day if the guy behind you loses control when you're pressing on, it is tough sh1te for him. He's got the controls not you, and you never asked him to race.

Scooby driver ought to have stopped to help tho.

Sadly we're seeing this more and more now and it's not just the "boy racers" who can now afford to run a Scooby it's also older people who should know better in P1's etc. Not doing the Scooby image a great deal of good, or our insurance premiums

Seems a shame that this chap got injured and the other driver did not stop.

I imagine there are more responsible owners than not and you never hear about people driving well. Different people drive/buy Scoobs for different reasons, there is not a vetting process; you pays your money and takes your car.

They are very fast well handling cars with a lot of street cred and will attract some **** drivers as well as the rest. This does not detract from the whole experience for me.

As for your comments you have just put one side of the story, there are usually two sides, who knows what really happened or who started what.

Well it did say "his own car would have had significant damage" which sounds to me like failing to stop at the scene.
