Crash! Bang! Wallop! - Eddie Honda Shirking His Duties Edition

Yes theSF90 is a plug in hybrid , they reckon 200 odd of its 1000bhp comes from the batteries. That’s got to be a footballer or properly wealthy idiot rather than your run of the mill group of Pakistani lads clubbing together to rent a super car for a wedding.

I know the sum total of fuck all about Ferraris but upon seeing pictures of that all smashed up,my first thought was "bet some Pakis rented it and did a runner."
So there we are. No harm in being wrong once in a while.

I noticed the door wouldn't open. What was the ncap score?

[Scruffy Bodger]

That hit with some sort of force

[BusmansHoliday]

Bus'ted.

I thought buses generally tend to drive a set route?

What number was that then? The FU2, to Nobody Knows?

Yes they do, but sometimes a double deck gets allocated to a single deck route or the driver takes a short cut. That's Pistol Creaks to the south of Sheffield. I've hit a fair few trees in Derbyshire when having a double deck on a single deck route but bridges, even with the motorhome, I take more seriously.

Slightly over the speed limit you think? I wonder if it was still floored when it hit too.

It seems that way doesn't it? It looks like it's pushed the rest of the cars back rather than just punted into them? It's pretty fucked if he can't open the door and had to get out the window or it auto locks when you get in and he couldn't release it while in a panic?

[Hooli]

Seems it aye, looked like it was pushing to me too.

[LynehamHerc]

Don't auto locks have an impact sensor that automatically unlocks them once a certain deceleration has been recorded?

[Hooli]

Normally aye.

Wasn't that how early Cossies got stolen? kick the bumper hard enough in the right place & it'd unlock.

When the mondeo was launched as a world car. All Ford regional execs worldwide were gathered for the unveiling. It was lauded as the most secure car on the market, so Ford employed a professional 'car thief' to demonstrate its invulnerability. The even gave him the plans and wiring diagrams. He was also told he could have the car if he could drive it within X amount of minutes.
Well, come the day, execs were gathered and the mondeo unveiled. Said thief was introduced, and told to try his best.
He walked up to the front bumber, and as said above, volleyed the front bumper with his boot. Central locking opened, he got in, and drove it away 30 seconds later.
A hasty redesign was done before launch.

Story told to me my an ex manager from Dagenham.
