A recent 'cruise' in Scotland ended up with some idiot running his Evo at full tilt along the road where otheres were 'cruising'
He ended up loosing control and ploughing HEAD-ON into a Fiat Punto.
Luckily no one was badly hurt.
The Evo driver ran off.
Rumours abound who he was, was the car stolen etc.
One witness said he said he was going to say the car was stolen before he ran off.
This could end 'cruising' in that area of Scotland.
It's certainly turned a lot of folks off taking their cars to other cruises in case something similar happens.
Driving fast should be restricted to track folks.......
Here's a pic of the Punto before, the owner had a nice few mods to it and it was a VERY nice car.
Written off and with nobody to claim against a loss of NoClaimsBonus which means this has cost the guy a LOT.
Needless to say there are suggestions of marauding vigilantes with baseball bats trying to find the Evo driver. If I find out the facts - lots of rumour just now - I'll get back.
BUT *PLEASE* guys keep the fast stuff for tracks and organsied race/rally events where safety is taken seriously and drivers are capable of knowing the car and thier own limits and controlling it !!
