Title: Sheppy crossing pile up
Post by: AndyG on 05 September 2013, 10:19
Just watching sky news reporting on bad accident on Sheppy crossing.As the helicopter filming from above I spotted a transporter full if brand new Vw's.There were at least 2 GTI's that I could see one a white,the red brake calipers stood out and a blue possible GTD behind it.Hope nobody on here is delayed if the cars are damaged at all.

Are you sure they aren't Toyota Auris on that video? 

Accident looks bad though, no fatalities... very lucky....

No worries.
I suppose the ones on the top are ok but the VW's underneath may be damaged.Imagine waiting as long as our friends have for their mk7Gti's so close to getting it then damaged on the transporter.

Had any of them gone over the side they would have just swam back to their nearby swamp habitats to clean their webbed feet and hands.
