Huracan crashes at HR Owens Event

Recommended Posts

 

I guess Im over the whole supercars hype. I kinda had a feeling there were a few events yesterday judging by the weather. But is that a place to launch a 640hp car full pelt.

 

Hes forgetting the roads in London arent built for any speed. Could have ended worse as these events are filled with spectators

 

Does anyone know if this car is all wheel drive?

WTF is wrong with these brain dead twats!!? Publicise the fact in advance that you intend to drive like a **** on a public highway so that all and sundry attend and video the crap out of it. Luckily no one else was hurt, let's hope he gets all he deserves.

I could name a dozen people on here I’ve seen do similar things at meets or events. It’s nothing new, just this was a slightly more expensive car. The Jap scene is second only to perhaps Mustang owners for driving like idiots from a standstill on video. Okay third, behind the Dub crew too :lol: 

 

I know exactly where that is, I went to that event last year and if you think that road looks narrow on the video, it’s MUCH tighter in real life! Utter stupidity to try that there.

London roads potholes and cracked crevices. Not to mention going at normal speeds cars still skip over uneven surfaces

 

I was going to attend last year when I had my Nismo but thought better off watching it on Youtube. Glad I did this time lol. Im not sure if launch control deactivates traction and stability. But I can see the road curves to the right in the video and he started slipping and sliding towards the parked cars tried to rectify it and it got taken out of his hands. Locking diff?

 

All Wheel Drive doesn't save lives then. I found another video showing traffic cops turning up to the scene. HR Owen will deny all knowledge and claim he has nothing to do with them which is probably true.

 

I reckon a 9 month ban and steep fine according to income. Endangerment to public, driving without due care, double/triple the speed limit at 60mph since a lot of London streets are now 20 mph.

 

I think the fact he uses launch control with traffic in the opposite lane takes the cake

Probably a rental car as well... :lol:

£30,000 excess all gone! and possibly more charges. How about a specialist license with track hours if you want to drive anything over 500 BHP! Cost £4000+ :lol:

All that money and they don't bother getting performance driving tuition... I always have a bit of laugh at these when they can't drive in a straight line without crashing. As long as no one gets hurt mind.

 

Why people think they need to do it on a public road amazes me too.

Don't forget the Ford crew also  :lol:

Always the passenger that pays the price. The seatbelt ripped and she ended being thrown into the trees from the car.

 

Its all well and good saying no speed limit or copying youtubers like autotopnl but not much can save you losing it at 186 mph 

 

I saw one with a 2018 E class convertible showing off in Russia. A risky overtake, could have gone into the grass but tried to recover it. Went straight into the back of a lorry. Both man and woman instantly dead. 

 

Since when does a 23 year old have enough experience to drive a McLaren sensibly on an autobahn. Another lightweight high power supercar in the hands of rich kid

Bobbins. I’ve seen 18 year olds drive flawlessly, and I’ve seen 50 year olds drive like d*ckheads. Age isn’t relevant, being a knobhead is. 

 

Money has has nothing to do with it, mentioning it just smacks of jealousy tbh.

Mclaren seem to think Lando Norris has enough experience, at 18 years of age :thumbs:

Rich kid is just a description, your more likely to be wreckless when you havent worked for it. You dont appreciate it. 

 

Age has nothing to do with it yet 25 year old is the age required to rent a car from most rental companies. Insurance drops at 25. I wonder why. 

 

I dont know about other countries like US because kids drive high performance cars in places like California all day everyday.

 

I know age has a lot to do with the reason premiums are up for under 25s. Theres no denying anyone any age can be wreckless. But experience plays a part.

 

Jealous of what exactly. Where im from what is a huracan? roflll.....

Reckless. Not wreckless. 

 

Ask yourself this: How many people of average incomes have car accidents every year? Compared with above average? I’m guessing admittedly, but I bet the percentages are higher for the former. 

 

And yes, the second you start using phrases like rich kids and don’t appreciate it, you sound jealous. Sorry about that.

Alright mate. Whatever you say. Why would I be jealous?  lol Its just a description of the situation which youve flipped into a personal attack. What term would you use? Children with money or Teens of outstanding income?

 

If I should be jealous of anyone it should be my uncle as in inspiration. Not a 23 year old that crashes his car and kills his girlfriend in the process.

 

But yeah im as jealous as they come ;-). Nice one!
