Well, at least it took out the Omega  ;D then finally flattened the caravan (landed on top of it). It was not nice seeing it damaged  :( but at least it kept going.

It survived two crashes and still built up enough speed to hit the caravan... it done good says I!

I'm sure it was secretly in a poor state.. they wouldn't wreck a perfect car. I'm all in favour of people recognising the Scorpio... shame about the loss but maybe it'll inspire a few hundred people to take better care of their car. Very enjoyable.

N508CNO built 07/1995 with 2.9 24v engine, recaro seats and wood steering wheel as factory fitted. Headlamp washers and reverse parking sensors as well. This was a fully loaded motor, apart from them daft seats of course!

And...   it was still roadworthy. Still taxed anyway. It was due at the end of January.

And the date of Last V5 Issue (last change of keeper) was on 26th October 2005. Presumably thats when the beeb bought it.

Why didn't they get an old shagger off e-bay instead?  >:(

Oh god, dont let this become another p**take by the tall one on national TV in next weeks episode: 'Last week we killed a ford Scorpio and we were swamped by literaly.... well, tens of emails in outrage that we killed one of these bug eyed monstosities from the 90's. But ladies and gentlemen, it was not the fact that we destroyed one of their beloved Scorps for the sheer hell of it that caused such an outpour...... No, they just thought it was a bloody waist of a good steering wheel!!'
Or something along those lines... ;)

Flame on ;D

Thats not 1 but 2 Scorpio's that man has killed ;D, but honestly he could have done with a straight 2.0l. First they rammed one into a Triumph and then jumped one into a caravan, Imagine the speed they could have got if they where on tarmac.

It says

"Windows Media cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file"

I tried adding codecs but still not luck
