Seen that on the news a while back. From what I remember the driver was nowhere to be found. They est. he was over 100mph. Don't even know if they found the owner.

The owner of the car was at the scene, he told the police he was a passenger with a german national driving and the driver ran off in the bushes. The story was on the forum when it happened.

Except that the Bank of Scotland appears to be the rightful owner - and the car was probably illegally in the US.

That's a carbon composite frame, body, etc. There is NO SUCH THING as repairing it, welding it, nothing. That's $1.2M clams flushed in an instant.

Man does anyone here have a sense of humor? My quote is in reference to the kids thread about some crappy welds he made. I don't care what the car is made of.
