Sorry meant to explain, the reason it was here was to discourage people from talking on their mobile's. Phone went, he went to answer and one clipped curb later. :?

did the driver walk away? any passengers?

the cabin looks to have survived pretty ok-ish on that, testament to the safety of the Clio i would say

They tend not to volunteer that kind of info but i suspect that if anyone had been hurt they would not have used it as a display car for obvious reasons. As you can see damage was extensive, every panel well knacked, all wheels and engine resting on the ground. If you look closely any passenger would not be feeling very well after this.

30 my arse lol - bet he said he swerved for a cat at first n'all....... to get a car to roll at 30 by just hitting a curb is very difficult.

I know i did it in a M3 but that as only just did it at 50. Bloody cats!

Noodle do you know anything more about this?

Soory hoolio I only just noticed this post! I'll be able to find out what happened to the guy, as long as the crash happened in Oxfordshire - I'd heard that we currently "have a car to display", on loan from a scrapyard - we're going to be borrowing it to display outside Westgate in Oxford... but I don't know where the crash occured.

I'll ask a few people and see what I can find out :)
