Anyone been past Inchape ford today in farnborough??

there is an A reg convertible corvette seemingly abandonded (went past on way to work and its still there at lunch) on the grass facing the wrong direction. Rear LH wheel looks like its made contact with something and is massively dented.

Poor thing, i thought it was for sale from the garage until i looked back and saw the wheel damage!!

First thing i thought was accident in the wet. It was black with black hood if that helps anyone identify it. Wheels looked a bit like Borbet A's

I wonder if it belongs to Laney from Bagshot, he is working on the Air Show I think. ??
Old model Vette C4 in filty black I think, he cant drive to save his life so maybe it stepped out on him.

Yep saw him last night, the ole codger was a bit sore and brused.
Low speed slide possbly due to wet road or some oil on the surface - he says.
Lost it and mounted the central kerb.

Told him to buy a Yaris and leave the V8 stuff those that can handle it.
He's ok and no other vehicles involved.
Just got to sort his car out before he goes back abroad in August.

Yeah, black one. It appeared while I was in having my swim at F' leisure centre, some time between 6:40 & 7:20. At least, I didn't notice it on the way in. Going a bit too fast to spot any damage to it but I did think it was an odd place to park.

There are faster C4's though, the LT1 puts out 300HP and the LT er something puts out 330HP. As said the Grandsport would be a great car to have or the C4 ZR1.
