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

 

wtf...man that would be the worst day of my life

 

pics.

 

I wonder how the phone call to the insurance company went...I'd love to hear that conversation!

 

Eh who cares, it's a Civic Type R not Integra Type R.

 

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!

 

zomg tragic i want to see pics tho

 

Interesting find Ryan. No matter what it was, we need some pics of what happened.

 

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!

 

they made ctr's in red.......

 

I'll see what I can dig up Mike

Pics of the Owner and his car pre bombing

 

Yeah I was thinking EK9, I know EP3's were available in red..

 

a car can be painted any color

 

Thanks for your oh so useful input.

 

i would sue them

 

wow thats really dumb but of course people and police will always been on edge because of terrorists

 

there saying he probably get a payout from his ins. huh? wtf? why not....

 

sucks man!

 

oh good it was one of those new Euro Civic Type Rs. Ugly as ****! Still sucks

 

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

 

i agree but i would still be f'n pissed

 

word...

 

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.
