This'll be the one I used to see on a daily basis around Ellon, then.

Might explain why it hasn't been seen in a good wee while!

I saw this on the Front page of the Daily Record, and the Headline was 'Prang Goes £300K'

And Pagani only make 10 Zonda's a year.

Can you imagine the uh-oh feeling for crashing that thing? I bet the test driver is never going to live this down :evilgrin:

 

[Stuart]

*apparently* it was non other than racing legend Sir Jackie Stewart that smashed it, but whether thats true or not is the million pound question

 

[Andi9386]

Hmmm, don't know about that Stuarty!!
More research me thinks.

 

[Stuart]

Thats the rumor that is going round, the local radio station stated that the driver is a household name, but didnt want to be identified!!! no ****, if i caused that much damage i wouldnt want to be identified either!!:lol:

I don't think it was Jackie Stewart as he claims he was out of the country when the crash happened

It sounds like the P&J has run with something without checking their facts first - no surprise for them

LOL yeh, saw that 'update' yesterday.

Fine fine journalism there as always!!

 

[Andi9386]

So much for fine journalism, they said it's a 7.2 V12!! but it's a 7.3 Merc V12.

Anyone share my suspision that Martyn was at the wheel of the car when it crashed!!

He's admitted he's seen the car around his area most days, he's been very quiet recently.......

 

[M21MFS]

Yeh..err..due to work!

 

[Andi9386]

Aye but how do we believe you??? (LOL just kiddin Boss)

 

[Stuart]

Yeah, come to think of it, it said it was a
well known celebrity - you fit the bill.
canna drive worth a shite - you fit the bill again

that was your new car wasnt it

 

[ycming]

I might take the hit and buy a one day insurance on a super car and go and crash it .

[mrcinquecento]

by proffesional driver, they could mean a lorry driver

but household name...hmmm, i wonder where David Coulthard was at the time of the accident....

 

[Andi9386]
