...maybe I'm little sadistic... but when I saw these three pics I though this can be an interesting topic for the Featured Imagery section...
What about pictures of vintage, rare and special cars heavily (or softly too) crashed?
Both race and road cars...
Maybe something similar already exist... if so... sorry and I please ask to the moderators to merge the threads...

Three crashed Lancia Aurelia for you...

Vintage pics only! Thanks!!

The second picture shows the car of Luigi Fagioli - he crashed in practice for the Monaco Grand Prix (Jun. 12, 1952) and died three weeks later from the injuries.

I didn't check if a similar topic existed, but many automotive websites hesitate to show that kind of pictures, because, you know why?, a crash often means dead people.

Yes... this can be a good problem... I wait for moderators-administrators opinion before adding more pics...

I have no appetite for graphic blood and guts. Cars in need of repairs don't bother me much.

No blood and corpes, please.

But I do like the topic...

Thanks... I obviously agree with no blood and corpes... only metal (or fibreglass...) bodies...

Here are a pair, to be repaired, perhaps by Earl.

Famous pic for autopuzzlers.

I don't know if there was a happy end.

How many NCAP stars did this have again?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #16 on:** May 26, 2012, 09:48:47 AM »

Ouch...

I´m sure it wasn´t too fast before hitting the post...

This threewheeler managed the same situation in a more elegant way:

The right time and place is right on the money. I can't begin to number the shots (not just crashes...I'd prefer to get good racing shots) that I've missed by being in transit between locations, pointing the camera at something else or just having the camera "down." I've been able to get some real good ones by being prepared and in a good place, too. But many times it's just an issue of "time and place."

I'll post a couple more sequences later today, but right now it's time to watch the Monaco GP on dvr.

Huh? Does this relate to the sequences I posted? If I'm crossing a line I shouldn't please let me know. I have no desire to offend anyone.
