Or an Autodelta modified version.

That video was clearly a promo piece before he puts it up for sale on Collecting Cars. So we’ll see what a high miler GT3 goes for soon.

Shouldn't the people laughing/spectating, warn the drivers they risk destroying their cars? Or do they do that and they go through anyway?

The mere fact that there is a large audience for this spectator event should set alarm bells ringing. But as you can see from the driving styles on display there is quite a lot of fuckwittery going on. A massive sign with flashing lights probably wouldn't warn them off. 😂😂

Shirley someone living nearby could build a 25m pontoon and make a fortuna charging vehicles £20 to cross?

On some of the vids there are road closed/flood signs, but the road isn't physically blocked so... :roll:

Just in case you haven't seen it. Great that GM is doing videos like these to show all the details of the T50.
I started watching this (always good to see Oli - previously of our parish of course - doing shizzle) but thought it was going to be mostly focussed on the configurator (which part 2/2 is, and didn’t really grab me).

Following a prod from @scotta however, I can confirm that part 1/2 is defo worth watching. Some of the info on the components is just awesome. 8-)

Ah, yes :oops:

The :roll: in the op was for the people ignoring the road closed signage because no barrier, not for the absence of barrier.

If people are ignoring the warning signs, road closed signs, the large body of water, the depth markers and the crowds of spectators, then I feel no guilt laughing at people being idiots :lol:

Definitely set aside the time to watch it to the end.

Forgot to mention I watched this last week. I knew what was coming anyway, but still - ouch! It's only a boggo E30, so in the grand scheme it's no big deal, but given the backstory with the original owner I could feel the hurt when he stepped aside at the end.
