  Old  Amazing crash!

Hey lads!

Got the following email:

What you see is what you get, i.e. there was no cutting of the vehicle
prior to the pictures being taken.
It is my brother-in-law that you see holding the mobile phone, he
honestly doesn't know the speed that he was going at but wasn't near as
fast as he has done in the past on that particular part of the road.

Although the road was completely dry he said that it felt he was on ice
and the car just careened into the tree. He actually called the
emergency services and climbed out of the car by himself, he spent only
a couple of hours in hospital, apart from a few minor scratches he got a
bandage around his little finger, I told him if he's not already
religious he should take it up ASAP!

The car WAS a pristine RS6 ABT, I was supposed to pick it up that very
day to borrow it from him for a week as I've always wanted to try out
the ABT version. He really should have simply told me that he didn't
want me to drive his car. I'm so happy he is alive and all in one piece

It looks like a passenger in the front seat wouldn't have been so lucky

The black box should be able to reveal that kind of information

It's amazing how many people take up religion after a huge accident. It's also amazing how many people suddenly believe in God as the truck/train/sea is coming towards them at a high speed. It's to late then though.

Why would Americans pick up religion after 9/11?

Maybe I didn't notice because I'm not religious. I saw Americans around here buy American flags to fly out on the side of their house. You could go up pretty much any street and nearly every house had a flag... I guess people just got tired of them because the only ones I still see are the ones I saw before 9/11. Thats pretty much the only thing I saw Americans around here do after 9/11

Hard to say really, could be a technical fault... But yes, lucky that nobody got hurt.
