Does a mid-noughties astra estate count as an expensive car?

Not sure if this car is expensive, but that's unexpected

Not sure if this car is expensive

Probably worth fuck all now.

Great, that is one less on the road!

I'm quite resigned to the fact that this thread is now the default 'things that happen to cars' thread, just as the 'Motor vehicles crashing into buildings' thread is the 'motor vehicles crashing into just about anything' thread now ...

Not that staying on topic has ever been a characteristic of LFGSS threads.

That's a very good one, though. One obviously wants to know how that happened.

Interesting twist on the “Low Bridge” crash.

Maybe not that expensive but impressive flip.

Mr Snowden advised people to use the slipways along the seafront to launch water toys.

i wonder what happens with insurance claims when stuff like this happens?
can you make a claim on your own stupidity?
same with the Ferrari above - could you make a successful claim for wrecking your own car on a public road due to your own lack of driving skill?

Serves them right for having a jet ski

a jet ski

Indeed a 'water toy' 🙂

"It is the nature of the beach. There is soft sand"

Holy shit! This whole time I've been thinking beaches were covered in tarmac and perfect for driving along.

Only in car adverts.

Planned by the scooter riders I'd guess, not planned by the driver.

RIP to the deceased.
The car that ended up on the tracks must have been going pretty quick to have ended up there...

"The injuries of the woman treated at the scene were non life-threatening, the force added."

Very helpful.

Already updated

The injuries of the man in his 50s were non life-threatening, police said.
The Met previously reported that the person who was with the Tesla was a woman.
