    Very sad to see someone die although I am not surprised in the slightest. He was a lunatic on the road and put a lot of lives in danger from his carry on. His friend passenger in the car has apparently survived thankfully.

    He wasn't driving, he was the passenger.

    So someone else was driving his car?

    That's what happens when you let your crazy mates borrow you car.

    That what happens when you let your crazy mates drive and they try to drive like you

    Is that what happened?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,752 ✭✭✭Bohrio


    Yeah... It wouldnt surprised me if it turns out he was the one driving and not his mate

    On the other hand if he let someone else drive his car and this guy crashed then he should have known better...

    Regardless who was driving, when you play with fire...

    And TBH when you drive like this two things will likely happen eventually, either you have an accident or you will kill/hurt someone.

    You can get away with it for a while but, no matter how good you are, luck will eventually run out one day.. sooner or later

    Might sound a bit harsh but what can I say, I was one of them

    Lambrecht Chevrolet of Pierce, Neb., was like many Midwestern, small-town dealers — owned and operated by a family, with minimal overhead and little need for advertising since most customers were neighbors. Ray and Mildred Lambrecht ran the dealership with just one employee for 50 years before closing up, and later this year the Lambrechts will sell off a trove of 500-odd vehicles they've held onto over the decades — including roughly 50 with less than 10 miles on their odometers. It's less a car sale than a time capsule auction.

    Well fook me in excess of 800bhp produced from a 1.6 petrol / hybrid engine which is turbo and supercharged.

    This is from the wiki
    In December 2012, Jaguar's Global Brand Director announced the cancellation of production due to the ongoing global economic crisis, as the carmaker considered that " it seems the wrong time to launch an £800,000 to £1 million supercar." The company expects to take advantage of part of the investment in the C-X75 development by using the C-X75 technology in future Jaguars. The hybrid technology could be used on a three-cylinder engine to give it the power of a six-cylinder engine, and the C-X75's sophisticated aerodynamics should also influence future Jaguars, while the high-pressure supercharger technology could be used on future performance Jaguars with four-cylinder engines. Jaguar announced its decision to continue working on five prototypes to be developed until May 2013. Up to three of these will then be sold at auction, while one will go into a future Jaguar museum, and the other will be kept by Jaguar for running demonstrations.[7]

    Three cars will be sold at auction and so could potentially be on the road, one will be viewable in a museum and the other may be viewable at Jaguar demonstration runs so then surely it will see the light? If what you meant was that it won't have a full production run then forget I said anything, not trying to start an argument :)

    Sorry about the chat, I'll leave it out now. Here's a vid I don't think has been posted:

    Looks like he put the foot down, the front lifted, then he turned the steering.. When the wheels touched the ground again, it was too late

    I'd imagine hope Red Bull will release a better video in the coming days/weeks.
