fooking hell, another one bites the dust.

 

[Eddie.]

Nearly make out the plate on it... T5 something...

 

[AK]

Ouch.

 

[Scrooge]

Oops.

 

[Adamm.]

must be gutted.

 

[ColinG]

fuuuuuuuuuuck,

i know that vee was at the lakes meet last year

i honestly think the mars ones are cursed

only 8k on the clock iirc

 

[ddouble]

hope everyone involved is ok!!

that one was on MEGA low miles & was properly mint.

 

[ColinG]

he owns his own bodyshop i think so the car may be saveable, depends on whats damaged underneath, part prices are lethal on these

 

[Dash]

Terrible sight.

 

[Rob]

Ouch, I love the mars Vee's though.

 

[Sam@NP]

Not caught fire yet?

 

[ColinG]

i cant work out why the drivers side looks bent, yet the passenger side looks straight?

another car involved maybe?

looks to me like its been t-boned.

could be the reason

 

[ColinG]

im sure martin will let us know himself,

hope its only cosmetic its too good a vee to send to the graveyard

 

[Silent_Scone]

as above looks like he got t-boned

 

[Darren S]

Shame.

I'd be more concerned of V6 owners swooping down like vultures for parts off it.

D.

 

[Adam.]

Absolute arsehole of a "mini" roundabout there. Also bollards run along the whole length of that pavement and it looks like he has rippped them out.

 

[James105]

Looking at the dent on drivers door and the bollard that is laying down. It's almost like he hit the bollard sideways. (Drivers side)

*Could be very wrong though

 

[BREMBO]

O F*ck! I know this guy so so gutted for him

 

[Adam.]

LOL @ carpet shop in Edinburgh.

 

[NFox]

ouch! How gutting

This. I'd say he's gone through that bollard sideways and ended up nosing the shop front. Not good whatever the weather.

 

[Dash]

The owner is OK.

 

[James105]

The owner is OK.

Glad to hear it!

 

[lewisredfern001]

glad to hear the drivers ok, probably be a little upset that his pride and joy is a mess tho.

 

[COLZO]

Gutted for him.

 

[Cliotoby]

Not caught fire yet?

They set on fire lol?

 

[Marky_]

Oh dear

 

[R18 RHT]

Looks like theres a skid mark from the front right tire, as if he was travelling TOWARDS the bollard hole in the floor??

 

[.Andy.]

What a shame

 

[Darren S]

I 'think' that's the diagonal paving on the floor. You can see the same on the other side of the second pic too.

D.

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Sare one. As Adam said that bit is a pain. In the arse with the mini roundabout, folk don't bother indicating if they are going left or right depending on what way you are hitting it.

 

[Flat Eric]

Sad sight.

 

[AP'Moss]

Gutting

 

[VeinAST]

An oz of grief or two! Poor V6

 

[E11OOT]

Shame i know the car as well, he owns a coachworks company near kenny dunn garage in Edinburgh. Super low mileage vee as well

 

[.GAZ.]

Not good :O

 

[Chileno]

Oh crap;

 

[.GAZ.]

Just seen this on the back of a flat bed recovery truck on Gorgie Rd.

Looks like repairs have started, fair bit of fresh fibreglass on the o/s.

Couldn't get off Temple Run quick enough to get a pic, LOL!!!
