Ah, nothings better than laughing at other people’s misfortune. Here we have a prime example of chump, one guy who decides to hire a Veyron for £20k a day, only to crash into the UK’s very own supercar, the Vauxhall Astra.

According to the Police, the Veyron was travelling at around 100mph when it lost control by hitting a bit of a puddle (remember it was pissing it down over the weekend).
It spun a couple of times, colliding with a Vauxhall Astra with a seven-months pregnant woman inside, before finishing up in trees up a 3ft bank.

The woman was taken to hospital for a check-up but was alright.
The Bugatti driver, who was with a younger male passenger, was reported by police for driving without due care and attention.

The smash happened shortly after 3pm on Sunday on a 40mph stretch of the B375 near Chertsey, Surrey, a known crash blackspot.

The warranty on my standard Skoda Fabia vRS is up soon so I’ve been looking at what exhaust systems are available.

Milltek have been the preferred choice for a lot of VW / Audi owners for a while as Milltek have specialised in those models for one reason or another, but also because their exhausts are quite good (if expensive – you get what you pay for after all!).

Thankfully, Milltek have also covered the Fabia vRS nicely and offer a couple of options for those looking to release as many “horses” and “torques” as possible.

Roadrunner Motorsport in Nottingham are Milltek stockists so their prices and service are always bloody good.  After a bit of a chat, I discovered there’s now a new large bore cat-replacement downpipe available so I’d lose the catalytic convertor… failing that, a sports cat keeps my carbon footprint low and VOSA happy.  Win-win!

Just need to work out how to pay for it now
