Sold my car on tuesday last week, to a guy in Bergen.
warned him about 100rwtq and close to 1000 Hp.

Thursday his friend killed my old ride

He was doing around 70 when his friend floored it, lost tractiona after a few sec and spun around, off road and into a pole.
Car is supposedly DEAD


Life is a bitch, spend 8 years with this car, and in two days its gone....


Drive carefully and do NOT speed (unless you can handle it)

That's terrible. Hopefully the driver made it out okay.

I always hate when someone lets a novice driver behind the wheel of their high powered car. I assume this is what happened. For those that ask about turbo-lag I guess this example answers the question that on the LPE TT's there is no lag. Sorry!!

Sux the car is destroyed. Tough way to learn a lesson. Hopefully the people inside are OK.
