Never understood why people glorify these stupid car rallies. I always struggle to distance myself from that crap when people ask if that's what I do with my car or interested in. I want nothing to do with them but not sound like a stodgy asshole when dispelling it.

I'd guess the two in the convertible that caused it are the deceased. RIP but my god that was stupid and a real lame way to go out.

Convoys always a risk. It only takes one.

Have fun on your own but don't provoke others to take risks

Saw it this week on social meejah, looked bad

Been on many weekend car runs, simple rules prevent this, obeying the solid white line in the centre of the road should have stopped this but of course, somebody always knows better.

Seen this daft shit before - something always faster and digital up your arse. I just go slower so they get past - normally they're rented cars or company cars with no talent at the helm.
when you're in a train of cars on a spirited drive, obey the rules as said, simple.

Saw thins on the A41 on Saturday morning. It's a dual carriageway, and the direction of travel is the opposite to that which the Lambo is facing.

Lots of "spinning" skidmarks on the road before the crash site. It was a dry day on what is a pretty straight road.

All four wheels had similar damage.

We got there a fair bit afterwards so no idea what had been going on to cause it, but given any twat can buy something like this without any training, it's bound to happen.

Looks about like the Crown Rally morons here in the US. Too much money, driving high powered super cars, acting like idiots on public streets and all the driving ability of a 16 year old on their first drive. I have seen/heard so much stupidity from the Crown Rally people it is ridiculous.
