OOPS
THANK God I didn’t buy a Roller! A driver tries out his spanking new 200mph supercar — and comes a cropper on a crash barrier.
He slid on two wheels in the £45,000 KTM X-Bow before crashing on to grass at Germany’s Nurburgring Nordschleife race track.
The Austrian motor — 0-60mph in 3.7seconds — then skidded unceremoniously to a halt in the mud.

Love the shot of it doing a "grind"(I thinks thats what skaters call it) on the rail, though moar sparks would have been cooler.

The Sun is a tabloid so falsities can be expected, but an Xbow won't do 200mph.

True it's a crappy British tabloid.Originally Posted by f6fhellcat13
But that genreally means its falsities are limited to political bias
It's NOT "The National Enquirer"
