I can't get my head around that being real. Like from just one car crash.

Looks liek been crashed, ran over with a tank, and half set on fire.

Where the hell is the body?? Like there would of been some blood splatter and squidgy mess of human remains there somewheer.

probably been charred off with the fire and id imagine it rolled a few times too

nah mate, you'd need a bigger fire than that to despose of a body, like the car isn't too bad.

There would be loads of blood and guts, there would also be bones. You aint burning them so easy. Unless in a crematorium.

it worries me you know this? lol

maybe they just cleared the worst away before the pics?

LOL, just seen plenty of RTA's and bad ones in my time, plenty of blood and glass. Have lost 5 friends to car crashes.


Thats possible, but there be bloody splatter everywhere, dryed out and all.

To be fair if theer was a body in that when it crashed, you'd need a vacum/hoover to remove it,lol It was also be all opened up by the fire service.

it's a weird one, it's a car crash alright, but Can wrap my head around the body part.

Kind of stupid of him to buy it and horse it so soon into ownership, surely you'd give it a few days of getting used to driving it before you'd start exploring the limits of what the car could do. My self-preservation instinct would kick in around the ton mark, especially if I was driving something worth that much.

Suppose it's the millionaire playboy paradox, sometimes the people with the most money have the least sense.

The driver's body probably went clean through the windscreen and is now embedded somewhere in the truck, wherever that is.

Ya need to be very reckless to be doing 160mph on a public road, theres a time and a place for big speeds imo.....ie a track, with a roll cage, a helmet and a load of tyres to crash into if it does go tits up

Could have been ejected with a first impact (if there was one) before it did the main damage.

Totally agreed as putting other peoples lives at risk.

Anyone who has done 160mph will know that its not a speed you do accidentally. You have to make a conscious decision to go that fast, even in a GT2. Not an ideal running in procedure.

Money can buy you a lot of things, it cannot buy common sense though.

160mph on it's own isnt dangerous. Just depends the time, place and circumstances you're doing 160. It could be relatively safe or very dangerous.

As for a body...I doubt they'd leave any remains in the car when it goes to the salvage yard.

And in all cases of doing it on a public road, highly dangerous. (y)

That depends on the road and the circumstances.

I'd say more people who have driven at 160mph on a public road have survived and had no accident doing so, than have died. Again, it depends on the circumstances.

Mate crashed a GT2 a few years back, far lower speeds, but it mangled really badly. I don't doubt that isn't real.

I reckon he will be able to salvage that rear spring. So not all bad news.

Just goes to show those sort of speeds aren't for a public road.

Was that out Gransha Road direction? I think I remember something about that, was it a 996 GT2? They're the proper widow maker....no traction control at all!

I know a guy that had a GT3 and loved it, sold it for a GT2 RS and he got rid of it before this sort of thing happened to him, he thought it was a ridiculous car for the road and he now has a 997 Turbo.

Recipe for a GT2................take one 997 Turbo, throw away TC, front wheel drive system, back seat (you have just lost 100kgs or so) then for a laugh ad 50bhp.

It takes talented and sensible driver to avoid certain death in one. Then again why have one on the road at all if you drive it sensibly all the time???

looks more like one of them scrap yard claws has had a go at it!
kind of reminds me of the vid on youtube of the pleb in a lambo that boots it pulling away at a big american crossroad and loses the back end to sandwhich himself between two cars lol, some people really are safer just driving the lower powered kit cars like the mr2 feraris lol
