Amazing that they crashed it twice! Once when it fell off the lift, then they did it again while hanging on the crane. The picture clearly shows that the lifting point and angle is a recipe for a spin and crash. What a shame; or is that a sham?

I once took a Toyota Mr2 Spyder in to a Toyota dealer and it came back with damage from being improperly jacked up. So much for taking your car to a mechanic that is familliar with your model car.

it's pretty easy to play the part of the wise old man/woman after an accident. after looking at a picture of an elise on it's ***, i would say you're all brilliant in your advice not to take a 'special' sports car to a tire shop. not to mention, this photo is a classic. i've seen hundreds of pictures of sports cars that FELL OFF the bloody lift!
please.
please.
