A lot of people seem to be worrying about exactly what he was doing going fast enough to fly off the road and through the hedge in the middle of a village and next to a play park. I just figure it’s pretty obvious … it only happened a couple of hundred yards from his house, so he probably pressed the accelerator too hard the very first moment he sat in the driver’s seat! Oops …

You have to blame the guy who lent it to him. Not a car to drive without respect. Very emabarassing & more bad publicity for Porsche. :evil:

Reputedly, there are only 2 guys at Reading who are allowed to drive the GT and they had to go on a 2 day course in Germany to qualify :!:

:!:

Now I think I see why :roll:

:roll:

I wonder what training Lewis's dad had?
