    I think that's car number five or six that got written off down here - all while parked outside the houses and not moving an inch. Fiesta wipes out neighbour's Focus RS. No injuries afaik, but someone's bound to be gutted...

    wouldnt say it looks like it is "written" off, should be repairable at reasonable cost

    How the hell do you crash into a parked car on that fairly straight bit of road? And you say this has happened 5 or 6 times? The parked cars aren't even on the main carrigeway?

    Must be the tyre warming swerving going on before the night race to Castletown.....

    The RS Focus is owned by one of my customers, and yes he is gutted.

    TBH, if it was me i would be hoping it gets written off, better to just get paid out than repaired then your cars is registered and worth a lot less due to this. I really do feel sorry for him, he just spent a fortune on it upgrading/servicing etc.
    I spend all my money on drugs, women and fast cars, the rest i waste.
