Thread: How to write off an 800,000 GBP car

Rare Bugatti crashes into trees
A car worth more than £800,000 was involved in a collision with a van before crashing into trees.
The accident occurred in heavy rain on a 40mph section of Renfree Way, Shepperton, Surrey, on Sunday.
The rare Bugatti Veyron collided with a Vauxhall Astra van carrying a pregnant woman, who was taken to hospital as a precaution but later went home.
No one else was hurt but police have reported the Bugatti driver for driving without due care and attention.
Surrey Police said the luxury car was driven by a man who had a male passenger with him.
A man and a woman were travelling in the Astra.
The accident occurred at 1440 GMT and the road was closed until 1630 GMT.
The eight-litre, hand-crafted Veyron has a top speed in excess of 250mph. The 1,000 horsepower Bugatti can accelerate from 0 to 60mph in 2.5 seconds.

The local body shop here would have that fixed up in no time at all! Stick a pair of toyota diesels in it and call it good!

I always wonder how many people would be left on the roads here if they used British police officers. I guess the Anglo-Saxon types would have the roads to themselves. Wonderful...

Doesn't look "written off' to me!

It's all the fault of the van driver obviously.

Now if they built vans that could do 0-60 in 2 seconds, this accident would never had occured, or if it had it would have been a lot more interesting.
