Is he still alive ?. If he is, he's in pain in more ways than one.

I remember seeing the web page of that scrap yard with that car in it and the only thing they said that was salvagable was the engine and the Sat Nav screen and a few interior bits as they gave you a good view of all angles of the car. What a waste

That was one serious accident.

I fear for the passengers life, if there was one. I would suspect there was judging by the fact that the front pillar has been cut off.

Wrecked exotics... what a site. saw that one the last day - scary. Got a movie of some tool in a 206GTi on a mountain road trying to get lift-off oversteer. He did, but neglected to apply opp-lock until he was on the other side of the road heading toward 2 people on a moped, so he hit the brakes, then continued the slide into the mountain, airbags off as it hits, rebounds in the air, rotates whilst turning upside down, lands hard on the roof as moped-guy avoids them, and stops sliding quite close to another oncoming moped and Astra. And all the people at the side of the road are clapping & cheering?!? whatever about the driver, the oncoming road users were soooo close to serious injury....

PS I think on the M3 that that is the drivers side - there is a shot of the rear showing a foreign reg if memory serves correct.

I think I can see the hump in the dash for the instrument cluster on the RHS.

If it was LHD then my same fears are with whoever was driving. Very nasty.

TJ - no offence intended - I was looking at rims from these guys last week and saw the details there

http://www.fabdirect.com/index2.htm - http://www.fabdirect.com/index2.htm

Thinking about that coupe half leather interior, wondering if its a bit OTT. Dont want to look like something from "MTV Pimp My Ride" . Didn't get a price for it but got details on the M3 rims from the burned M3 Convertible
