    Cold tyres, cold roads and a desire to "test it" ... idiot
    I put off a test drive in a lowly Evora till it warmed up and have now delayed the second day test drive as it's gone cold again. ONLY an idiot would think to test drive a car and give it ANY welly !! AND I mean any, mud and the poor salt we had to use this year means our roads are like ice rinks when damp.

    ah well lesson learned, sadly the UK insurance companies "spread their liabilities", so in fact ALL drivers in the UK are in part paying for this idiots lack of brains in next years premiums.

    Would love to know which road it was, driven most of the good ones up their on rallies and tours

    Finally, no dispresepct, but Aberdonians are also one of the worst drivers on the planet. ( or were ) Mostly farmers sons driving tractors from the age of 10 who get loose on the roads in souped up Corsas ( was Escort Mexico and RS2000s in my day ). Faster than they can cope when anything goes wrong.

    ( DUCKS, awaiting the barrage )
    Haha, just kidding.

    By the way, if it really was Jackie Stewart, that's really embarrassing.

    The accident actually happened last August, around the 20th.

    The car is in Italy at the factory for repairing, shouldn't be updated to F/Cinque as it previously happened with another car due to an insurance thing. It could even have been already fixed, as it's there since a while.
    I saw some better images, and the left side was heavily damaged, the rear wheel and everything attached to it were teared apart up to the gearbox, and some barbed wires found their way towards the engine bay.
    The F car from HK looked much worse.

    Should be chassis #76046 btw, the penultimate S 7.3 car.

    Thanks for the info Leon. I'd imagine the car is fixed by now.
