Blimey mate. I've got some scratch X, more than happy to try it.

All joking aside, I hope they got caught. Looks a nice STi that one.

Yeah that must be sickening! If I still had my scoob and that had happened to me I would have been sooooooo pi$$ed off.
I couldn't care less if someone did that to my current car though, at least it would reduce the weight and cost me even less on diesel.

how the hell did they do that? It looks like a narrow side street with those bollards - but that looks like a fairly quick accident!

I have just emailed him back and asked him 1) Did they catch the people that did it? 2) what did the car hit?
I will post his reply in here, I can't imagine what the hell they hit to do that to it!

Ive never seen a door skin taken clean off like that in an accident. Normally the door complete would be off! Scoobs are normally very good in accidents so be disappointed the people in that car probably wont even have a scratch. Its just a shame that when your pride & joy gets stolen & then damaged like that. The thief's just laugh it off. They know that most of them just get a small fine & a slap on the wrist.

This was my friends reply to the questions I asked him about his wrecked STi:


Hi Paul
My house was broken into and the keys taken, just outside my village there is a 1 mile straight road with a tight corner at the end, the police recon they were doing atleast 120mph before they smashed into a wall and fled the car. A passing by motorist said they saw someone run off into some fields. Scumbags didnt even take it 2 miles away before wrecking it.

Seems to be more common for car thieves to break into houses for keys than to try breaking into car.
People arnt safe in there own home, worrying fact, more so now that I have 6month old child.
