A bit harsh I know, but serves the moron right for doing something very obviously stupid on the street.

: : I'm truly amazed that not one of you guys have spotted that the bonnet stripes on the smashed car were flat or semi gloss while the other car had gloss stripes!

entirely feasable. just because the photo's have the restored one first doesn't mean thats the order they happened in. could also be a totally different car. maybe the one in the background in the first pics with the whole front end primed is the one from the accident. |

as you yourself have pointed out, there is enough discrepancies(sp) between the restored one and the pranged one to tell you its either not the same car or was not pranged 'on the way home from the restorers' unless he stopped and did a few extra modifications himself. the truth should never get in the way of a good story |
