Hole in one

A little late (this happened last week), but none the less, pretty amazing:

hole in the wall

That hole in the wall (in Basingstoke, UK), was made by a BMW hitting a kerb at speed and then hitting the house.

I just can’t imagine how fast it must have been going to hit a first floor wall, let alone knock a car sized hole in it.
(Having just not expressed an opinion about the US military, I’d better keep my thoughts on BMW drivers to myself too ;-) )

    I hope the driver got booked for flying without being in posession of a pilot’s license…
    My brother lives near there – I’ve asked if he heard anything of it. AFAIK he doesnt drive a BMW…...

    Update from my brother:
    Actually Old basing, rather than basingstoke. I think actually he’s getting done for an excess of c2h5oh in his haemoglobin.

    ... Not your brother, I presume ;-)
    Rainbow Close in Old Basing is just off the A30, I see on the map. So that is presumably where the BMW was speeding- I still find the flight path amazing…
