Re: Ouch !!
One of just 337 production examples of the Toyota 2000GT was cruising down a Japanese road earlier this month when an ancient tree, 5 feet in thickness, toppled onto it. The young driver was luckily not badly hurt.
and, similar car, before:
Someone has already built a new body for one of these from alloy so it may well rise again, seeing as it has a million pound price tag.

Luckily only about £700 worth of damage.

And about 6 months gross pay for the average worker in 1967.

From the lorry driver's remarks after the near-miss he sounds like quite a nice fellow!

Re: Ouch !!
Unfortunately this type of RTC is getting to be more common. I attended a number of similar ones when I was working. The annoying thing is they still allow these wannabe F1 prats loose in cars they cannot handle

RE: NBC Youtube coverage.
That must be the worst use of a "movie" camera ever. It might as well have been still photos until the final shot. Although in his favour, the camerman had a very steady hand!
