Title: Ouch! from the mailing list
Post by scorpio_man on Aug 15^th, 2005, 8:18pm

Two cars
and a house, nobody was seriously hurt and the Scorpio driver only suffered
minor injuries - the house however is now being held up with scaffolding!

Looks like the safety shell held and the drivers door would open so thats probably a result.

Do we know if anybody got hurt?

Looks more like a hatchback now.

Don't think there'll many worthy spares on that puppy }{

I appear to share my name with the owner of the house! (http://www.louthtoday.co.uk/ViewArticle2.aspx?SectionID=817&ArticleID=1098732)

What a wreck! Kind of nice to see a Scorpio in the news though? Anything that helps the nation to recognise it. Not that that image bears much resemblance to a normal one! The Clio driver was not injured!

Crumbs.

Haha! Yes! I hadn't noticed that. I thought the back of the boot looked funny, fuzzy and cut off... didn't notice the car was half the height of the house! Ha!

Unless this is a cottage in The Shire.. east of Mordor?
