Very lucky escape

Post by Tilly »

Saw this last night on the BBC.

Can't quite make out the car but think it is a Z

Lucky they were both OK.

i second that motion..... wow! I wonder what they will do with the wreakage, if it was me i'd want to try and salvage it, make something out of the car that saved my life.

Slightly off topic, did anyone hear the story of the man who died and owned a Z3 and had a life size stone replica made for his gravestone? I forget who it was that told me or where it was, but if its true then its quite snazzy!

I'm sure it will be fine with a bit of T-Cut.
