Also, the Minis vs Beeltes meet was the same day and around 30 mile away from this at York Raceway so we went there for the afternoon... although was dissappointed at the lack of Minis and Beetles it was made up by the American Muscle, tatty fast ones and the wheelie Fire Truck down the strip...

lastly thought id share this, actually felt kind of sorry for the guy as he wasn't exactly booting it but just goes to show if you can't control your car, especially something as powerful as this spinning then... wey what a knob. he did this right in front of the police van aswell and was very lucky not to take anyone with him let alone the tree!!

aaaand the video...

Well, that's what happens when you show off in public.

No sympathy.

There's a 26 page long thread devoted to this on Pistonheads.

According to the passenger, it was all the police's fault for parking where they did.

Yep been reading through that...

it would be the polices fault... :roll:
tbh from being there it looked to be a variety of factors, including the salt on the road, the driver etc.. as far as the police are concerned they were parked far enough away from the junction to be seen and people to avoid them..

some of them comments have made me laugh.

Too much loud pedal, not enough talent, plain and simple. Anything else is merely an excuse.
