A 997 roll-over on a fun run, including pics of the damaged car. Questions of driver error, stuff like that, comments that it's a pretty tough thing to do on a straight road without being really irresponsible, particularly in a C4.

Looks like the original thread from the 997 forum has disappeared too, which is why methinks I smell a lawyer. Or perhaps an insurance adjuster.

Title should have read "Disgruntled Subaru driver teaches Porsche driver a lesson"

It's too bad for the guy. I don't think I'd want pics of my misfortune all over the internet either. Hope everythings ok.

Yeah, guy flipped a 997.2 C4S Cab on a straight road with a 40mph limit within a park area. He was attempting to pass a Subaru on double solid line (no pass zone) and "somehow" it all went wrong. The guy walked away with only a cut to his left hand, but the car was destroyed. This happened during a "fun run".
Those of us who drive C4S' have a hard time believing that you could flip this car on a straight road without some major application of excessive speed AND a certified boneheaded maneuver.
Guess his buddy that posted the pics is in deep **** since I would think that charges of dangerous driving could be coming and his insurance will have a field day with it.

You just know somebody did a cut 'n paste of it off the 997 forum, I bet it shows up some place.

I wouldn't want pics posted publicly either but it ain't like the cops and insurance company wouldn't have them anyway. Just sayin'.

I guess we'll have something to talk about at the Muskoka run on May 8th.
Anyone else thinking of going?
