Another that had his car T-boned by an other in T-2
Seen plenty with backend damage... penty with front end damage... some with both
A couple of fires, some blown engines, bent wheels and brocken windshields


But all drovers and pasengers were resonably "safe"
You forgot the Cayman S on it's roof at the exit of T10 was it last July or two years ago? Both drover and instructor walked with minor issues. He was the fastest guy in the run group right up until...........
