Well, not so much a galaxy, but certainly a different continent, and certainly a long time ago..
Below, cos you'll have looked already is the only remaining picture of my awesome (and second) BMW E30.
Behold the majesty...
No, it did not buff out.
What happened? Well... to quote one of the attending officers "Were you going too fast?" - Yes officer, if I'd been doing a pedestrian 4mph I'd have not punched through the telegraph pole, which you can see on the hill above.
As a distant memory, it's all a bit hazy... but it was on the B4077, around about here.
I did have passengers, and whilst everyone was fine, there was some blood - from where the glass traveled through the cabin on one of the rolls.
I ended up closing the road, with an air ambulance on call.
As we watched the car burn (they do occasionally catch fire, like in the movies), the fire and police had a hard time believing the four of us were OK and apart from some shock and a minor cut all good.
Would I do it again? In someone else's car maybe. But it's a helluva gamble to take.. you see what launched us over the wall and down the hill was a stump of a tree that was around 2metres across.
