There is no way that damaged was caused by a 50mph collision ...
Hopefully gap insurance was ticked!
Done a proper job of that.
It span into an oncoming car at 50mph. If the other car was going 50 that's an impact speed of 100mph. Totally believable.
Hopefully not, they're selling at a premium.
That's what insurance is for though. Utterly stunning looking machine!

if the other car he hit head on was doing 50 and he was doing 50 thats a 100mph collision so i would say hes got away very lucky, and seeing as it was in a 60mph limit the other car could have been doing more.
The Boosh!

If you've read the thread on PH you'd have seen the drivers side of the story.
He was driving along at 50mph in a 60, following his wife who had their son in her car.
He had his daughter in the car with him as a passenger.
The car spun and hit an oncoming car. It was going to flip but hit a lamp post.
Witness following stopped to give statement to the police, which verified his story. All parties unharmed, although passengers had to be cut out of the vehicle he hit.
Insurance has paid out the 6 figure sum.

Mechanical failure? Tyre failure?

Would have to be pretty spectacular. I've had tyres let go at over a tonne & managed to keep it out of the scenary.
My Clio span at 35 MPH on the M60 in 2008 ish. I hit very deep standing water in torrential rain; the back end was already light as I had no seats/spare tyre in and I slowly did a pirouette into the side barrier. Luckily it was about 3am, so not many cars around. So yes, it can happen without driving like a tit. It can happen when driving perhaps above the speed the weather conditions dictate, which in my case was probably 15mph.
This is quite amusing. You suggest someone who has crashed was potentially driving like a tit, and next you post about doing over 100mph on a public road. Nice.
My apologies, I've clearly made a presumption without all the facts...
...Oh wait

Haha no worries, not sure what you mean by oh wait...
If weather or standing water was involved then fair enough, loads of billy's bin it from aquaplaning, usually because they panic & hit the anchors lol.
People making assumptions without all the facts, as you've done with your first reply, insinuating he had to be driving like a tit to spin a car at 50mph.
I would agree that in a lot of cases, being a tit and speeding is usually the presumed cause, especially on forums. However, without all of the facts, you are doing just that - making a presumption. There isn't anything in the PH thread to suggest what the cause was, which is why you've failed to see anything.
I believe the actual transcript was 'this car has clutch kick, watch this'

Shame as that was/is one ridiculously good looking car

current bid is £1550, worth that for the front seats alone
OP story is quite possible, it is a RW rear engined car with significant torques/bhp. I had plenty of scary moments with a 160bhp Elise and 147bhp VX220. Even slow speed impacts do a lot of damage. A fixed object like a telegraph pole can do significant damage with 30mph impact.
Shame as it is a stunning machine!
