Default Type R destroyed by Police in the UK

I had to post this up to see if anyone had heard about / knew this guy. I'm not sure how he could even look at the cops after this.

Police blow up sports car

Crap. Misread it. Just saw Type R. Still would be tragic though. I can't imagine someone doing that to my car.

Too bad the Honda Civic Type-R wasn't produced in red.. What a horrible tactic they use in the UK, to blow up a car that is suspect..

I'd like to see what B-Serious has to say about them calling the CTR a Sports car, and yes, atleast it wasn't a real ITR!

I don't know if you watch Top Gear, but when they did their review of the latest CTR, it failed in every way in comparison to their previous model CTR (EP3). 1hp more, with tons of added weight, crappy suspension, and nothing really good to say. Sad!

in a way he should be glad it was a new model that they still make and not an older CTR that is out of production and leaving one less on the streets.. either way that sucks.

Yes they did make Civic Type R's in red. In the UK the EP3 came in nighthawk black, milano red and silver only. You can get the latest CTR in red too.

In the UK you see CTR's everywhere so it's no great loss, at least it wasn't an integra

it said its unlikely he would get compensation since he was parked illegally, thats basically saying that the penalty regardless of terrorism for parking illegally is car DISPOSAL by explosion lol.
