Alfa GTV accident at Brands, 14/8/16
Some of you may have been at the Festival Italia at Brands yesterday - apparently a well-received event. I wasn't there, but was somewhat horrified at the pictures in the Times (and I believe the Telegraph) today, showing Andrew Bourke's GTV rolling itself into oblivion - not just because I hate to see an Alfa wrecked, but because Andrew's head can clearly be seen poking out of the window opening . I know a GTV is fairly compact inside, but surely if fully belted-in (and with HANS) this sort of thing shouldn't be possible?
Thankfully Andrew is apparently OK, if somewhat shaken and "whip-lashed", but it worried me....... |
