Default I am still scratching my head at this GT3 RS.2 Accident.....

I just have no idea how this could have happened....

Who drives that fast going into a petrol station????

A PORSCHE crashed into a petrol pump at the BP petrol station on the A20 Swanley By-Pass this morning.

The accident caused the pump to fall over onto a silver VW Polo.

Neither driver was seriously hurt in the incident which happened at around 7.30am.

Both of the men are arranging to have their cars removed from the scene.

There have been no arrests.

Well, the white gold combo looked great before he f'ed it... Looks like he's come in hard, hit the oily patches visible on the wet driveways and the rest is history... Obviously trying to practise his F1 pit stops in suburbia...

As VISA would say...

Buying a GT3 RS, 175,000
Paying for petrol, 125
Showing the world you're an idiot, priceless!

These threads are usually good only to satisfy the viewers’ curiosity and hunger for photos of expensive crashed cars. That I can somehow understand although I don't care.

But what I don’t get and find pointless, is people jumping into conclusions and handing out verdicts about the accident itself and about the drivers abilities or intelligence since we rarely have the facts.


BTW the white with gold works.

I agree, whenever I see a crashed exotic it make me sad for the car and the driver.

I just don't understand how this happened????

That's not to say that I don't feel sorry for the guy, it's just a wierd accident.....

Theory 1: He was mad at BP
Theory 2: He was heel/toeing into the parking lot (and screwed up)
Theory 3: He was mad at VW (or that particular one)
Theory 4: He temporarily forgot what pedal did what
Theory 5: He is an idiot

What a shame....

Clearly pissed off at BP for the oil leak disaster in the Gulf.

So if it’s so important to u to guess what happened here is my attempt.
Too much speed going off the dual carriageway into the bp station and very heavy rain and standing water that day according to an eye witness I found online combined with the dangerous in rain 2.GT3RS compound mich sport cups. Now we can all carry on with our business as usual.
