would you post the other pictures that were on that site too please? you have to be a member to view them, and i never recieved back the registration e-mail.

Registration e-mail goes into your spam box.

I love this explanation from the beyond.ca thread:
I wasn't there, but the friend who took the pics said that the guys excuse was that "the accelerator stuck, so he pulled the e-brake and spun out. Eventually coming to rest on this median." My personal opinion is that the guy was dicking around and either couldnt handle the car, or, his showing off went terribly wrong.

I checked my bulk mail box but didn't see it. Thanks for posting those. That one is Seal. The accelerator stuck story is an oldie but badie. It's lame but I suppose there is the chance it will keep the guy from getting a reckless driving ticket.

I understand that these cars are made to be supercars. I understand that there is an amount of "userfriendliness" that is removed when you do this.

But are they THAT difficult to control? Mid-engined layout does not lend itself to a slow spin, but is it a snap-oversteer that is happening (except for the one that was rear-ended.)

They have traction control - on top of GOBS of grip and brakes. If you not doing something idiotic on public roads, this sort of stuff shouldn't happen. This car is not for the novice near the limits though because they are so high.

So sad!! Bet the owners pissed at that - I've heard the wheels are £11,000 each!!

talking on the cell phone? checking out the chicks checking him out?

wow, i wonder if that's right. rumor has it the tires are $1500/each too, but i've not yet confirmed it.

Look at the skid mark across the median in the second picture (it's actually white paint from the arrow). Also, look at the skid mark across the white turn arrow in the left lane behind the truck. The guy obviously swerved and took out the left side wheels, jumped the curb, and came to a stop on top. He's lucky he didn't get hit from the oncoming traffic in the left lane.

The guy just had his car impounded a month ago for street racing against some older C2 911 as well. He's in his early 30's, some software company guy. Obviously no skill what so ever. I've sat in that very same car. What a shame.

There will be many more like these. The survivors will keep their value.
