United Arab Emirates 2008 LR2 i6 HSE Auto Stornoway Grey
Ouch!

A few weeks back I was just on my way to work, when I had traveled no further than 50 meters and there was a worse traffic jam than usual.

The cause of the traffic was an LR2 with a bodykit Shocked

I hopped out a bit further down the road and took a few snaps before being give the Spanish inquisition
about why I was taking pictures and if I had permission by security.

I wouldn't normally jump to conclusions......but I am pretty certain speed was the major factor here.
The crash happened at a T-Junction, with the adjoining road to the right in the pics, so it appears they couldn't stop in time at the junction and went straight on into the kerb (curb for the Americans).

Even if it wasn't solely the drivers fault it still looks like the severity of the damage was due to the speed, and therefore could have been avoided completely.....but maybe I am completely wrong and will apologise if the driver puts me right Thumbs Up

Does not look pretty but if we look at the front wheel angle and the sort of not so impressive left front side damage we could say that this FL2 took some serious punishment and the body does not show so much.

I saw a cool deed today in tesco's carpark the strong wind rapidly propelled a gang of trolleys toward a very new looking fl2 HSE (grey but no towbar) The lady Driving it seemed busy reversing out of her bay to notice and I was too far away to do anything but cringe. At the last minute she popped her arm out of her window and caught the trolleys saving her door from a delving Thumbs Up , A kind chap moved them for her and she waved her thanks and coolly drove away Bow down

So maybe the driver wasn't speeding and it was simply a wild bunch of free roaming trolleys that did the damage!! Laughing

In the residential area I live in along with quite a few others each building or group of buildings has its own set of security guards, so most of the time they have little to do.

Nobody listens to the security most of the time so you can take photos where you please and I guess they were trying to ame sure I wans't taking lots of pictures of the area for something sinister.

Pictures everywhere else are fine. Let us know if/when you're coming to town and we'll grab a beer Thumbs Up
