Did someone crash their Anglia in a hotel parking lot? I heard an Anglia smashed into two Power Tour cars, then hit a tree, resulting in the drivers death. Something about a stuck throttle. Must not have been a HAMBer.
I've searched all over the web and didn't find anything like that. Mostly comes up with that Camaro crash from last year.
Sometimes good can come out of bad. Hopefully with the insurance money he will get rid of that nasty, ugly as hell paint job.
Man, 2 of these in 2 days, I was just looking at that other thread, sad to see this kinda thing happening. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=599006
Jeez. I just don't know how that could happen! One would have had to have been hauling ass through that show lot! Dont let my wife see these as she will never let me put my baby in an old car again!
That was from last year. The Anglia is fresh news. Looks like someone vandilized the car too. Who would do such a thing. Sad.
Yea and the light pole didn't fall down either. Its like playing telephone. I'm sorry that someone got hurt, maybe this gets t out of the way and the tour will be smooth sailing from here on out, if the fella comes out all right that will make it almost a win-win.
what a drag did someone say this guy lost his life in this? think its kinda inappropriate to make this thread into a joke if thats the case
Rumors start from people not reading. "The driver of the car was at the Muskegon venue. He was fine from what I hear. He didn't have a heart attack or anything. He was messing around and lost control of his car, thankfully no one else was injured. That is from the event sponsors mouth." Sounds to me like the guy was showing off and the throttle stuck.
hahaha, like that d-bag at that good guys show doing the burn out in the roadster! lost it and wiped out a fire hydrant!
Im Not starting any rumor..Fatality is in the title.. and its still not funny..glad the guys ok looks like more than his car got fucked up
I got it I just wasn't going to say anything, wanted to see if anyone else got it. Maybe molested would have been better verbiage.
I didn't write the title and his paint sucks. I don't think it's funny to screw around in a parking lot either. I was in a parade last weekend and Idled the whole time. People were asking me to rev it up, etc. But I would not with children along the street. A group of Harley riders, however were screwing around so much, I thought pistons were going to spray the crowd. Not cool. I agree that it's not cool to kick a guy while he's down, but I think the guy was probably screwing around where he shouldn't have been.
I realize that, but it is his car yours wasnt the only off color remark..so I wasnt zeroed in on just you trust me , im just as disgusted,, but more with the actions of the driver, then the paint job always have to have some guy at the show where cars are packed in..and a lot of pedestrian traffic, and some one has to show off Im glad no one died..hopefully the title of this thread, if it lasts.. will get changed
Can I clear up something? It's a Flying A "Austin". Not an Anglia. I know it makes no difference here, the result is the same, but many people mistake Austins for Anglias. This is a bad deal and another reason I never took my Austin drag car to a car show. I had the throttle stick on the injection hat at the hood opening on a county road years ago and luckily I only took out two rows of corn.
