    All the talk of restricting engine size makes me laugh a little bit. My daughter had a little tiny Daewoo Matiz with an engine smaller than my hair dryer. She still managed to crash and end up with a severe brain injury and is in a neuro rehab facility now.

    Only an idiot or a politician would suggest restricting engine size.....

    Westfield Kitcar 1300cc, 200bhp, 0-60 in 3.2s......

    Bugatti Veyron 8000cc W12, 1000 BHP, 0-60 2.7s

    Restrict power to weight ratio, NOT engine size.

    What about dash cameras? I would love to see the footage of all these teenage corsa and clio drivers who seem to regularly crash killing them and their 4 mates inside and see how 'safely' they had been driving........

    Brilliant idea, black boxes with a camera, there would be plenty of evidence to support or deny any claims.

    I was going to make some snide comment about Easter and resurrections when I saw this reappear, but that's a good update :D

    Also gives me a chance to point out that we're still waiting for the evidence that Lum's tits can't reach the pedals. Unsupported assertions & all that... ;)

    looks like someone from my town has visited Suffolk...
    Oh, you wee bazza!
  • Good, and I'm glad no one else was injured. His convictions and injury should serve as a lasting reminder to him, glad he didn't get out of it all scot-free.
  • I remember seeing this at the time.

    I'd also like to add, not all drivers in their 20s are eejits. I'm 24 and have never crashed a car.

    I've owned several high performance cars in the last seven years since passing my driving test, and have covered nearly 200k miles in that time.

    Now of course, I have seen the light and drive a Honda Accord, but it still packs a fair amount of poke. Seldom used poke, may I add.

    Still though, he was driving like a tit when he climbed a house in his TT.

    I don't know whether I'm more horrified by the damage to the house or by his number plate.
