Someone sent me the attached screenshot of some social medias (Faceplant?). Anyone recognize it? Looks like it may be across the pond somewhere.

Ouch.

Yes, it's a French car. In south of France.
A young driver (20 years old approximately) was too optimist after karting race.

Sad sight :( Any idea what will happen to it? (I see vultures in the horizon)
 
Valerian is a serious Benz-head somewhere in France. I think that he works at a dealer or MB France.
Huh? I thought Valerian was sort of an outer-space cowboy...

:D

No idea.
I know that cooling pump was broken but the engine start and run fine.
It seem, pretty difficult to repair it.
 
I am posting this for Valerian. He is already starting to fix it. He sent a bunch more which he asked me to post up. I will first chance I get. I told him that we would all enjoy seeing the progress.

Ouch, I hope there is no trouble locating a front cover and them fenders.

Nice to hear it will be repaired !
 
I want to fix the car, so in the future, it's not wrecked car :)

May I ask is your friend contributing to the cost of repairs or an insurance company? Because in many instances when someone drives another car they have 3rd party coverage only......

It is great to hear the car will be repaired and I hope you locate all parts required.

Front fenders are still available new, but they're not cheap. Great to hear you will be fixing it.

And yeah, make sure your "friend" pays for a chunk of it!

friend --> :smack: <-- you :D
