GMballistic Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Firstly I really don't like Nick Grimshaw so I'm probably not the best person to judge this but something stinks of BS about this accident he's had. Basically he toppled his Mercedes G Wagon on Monday night after "apparently" swerving to avoid a Cat in the road, ...this is all supposed to have happened at 15mph! Source: http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/nick-grimshaw-car-accident-flipped-mercedes-cart_uk_57bbfb43e4b0f78b2b4b280d?icid=maing-grid7%7Cmain5%7Cdl1%7Csec3_lnk1%26pLid%3D488731525_uk From the damage to the Golf you can see he's obviously hit that so my guess would be that his wheel has driven up the Golfs wheel whilst he had the steering wheel sharply turned aiding in the rollover. My problem with it though is this 15mph speed claim. Imo from the skid mark left on the road if he was doing 15mph he could have stopped within less distance than the mark on the road. Anyway make of it what you will.... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tatooandy67 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) was it any where near the unintentional drift round an island thread I've been reading today (police encounter) Edited August 23, 2016 by tatooandy67 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted August 23, 2016 Author Share Posted August 23, 2016 was it any where near the unintentional drift round an island thread I've been reading today Actually that's a fair point. Could of been diesel on the road I guess. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stutopia Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 It's not like it was an endangered tiger how dare you... T'was a bit tongue in cheek but if I wanted to be serious about it, did he look and make a concious decision "oh it's just an empty car I'm swerving into, not a mother unloading a baby from a car at the kerb side"?

Ekona Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 The G Wagen weighs over two tons. At 30mph, it would decimate a Golf, not just crumpled the wing. His version of events is entirely plausible. It's a big car, and once it's up on the wing of a smaller car it's going to topple very easily. Simple physics.

Ekona Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Over-servoed brakes, get on them whilst turning the wheel quick and it'll drag the tyres something chronic. This is such a non-story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Golf he hit is definitely going to need a wing but I'd be worried about the suspension & other unforeseen damage. Won't bother him though the money he earns so he should buy the Golf owner a new Golf imo as a sorry. Drop in the ocean money wise for someone like that.

Maybe he was on the phone Could've been. Something not right about that accident or how it happened but as he's a "celebrity" I doubt the Police will pursue it.

Juggalo Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 (edited) I've seen offroaders travelling at 1mph, crawling over mounds or rocks, flip their vehicles. So It's possible he's a bit of a 'tard who lost control of his chelsea tractor on nice smooth tarmac and flipped it. Never heard of him though.
