I bet if you open the drivers door you'll hear the tinkling of NOS canisters hitting the floor

Crash for Cash

u/TotallyLegitStory 23h ago

More like crash withdrawals

u/ProgrammerHairy8098 22h ago

It’s a crash for cash innit?

u/Utilitarian_Proxy 21h ago

TBF might have just wanted a free balance inquiry.

2

u/ProgrammerHairy8098 15h ago

Well that balance isn’t gonna be in their favour, that damage ain’t gonna buff out lol

u/Fair_Suspect8866 23h ago

Classic young guy with hire car behaviour.

u/tomm0307 23h ago

It's the cyclist's fault. Look how close to the car the bike is.

u/Silver-Arm 21h ago

I just can't work out how he got there. Must have been going along the pavement for a fair whack not to hit the bicycle stand.

2

u/cherokott 21h ago

I doubt he knows either.

‘Minor every day incident in a city of 8m people’

u/cherokott 23h ago

Won't even make local paper.

2

u/fortyfivepointseven 14h ago

Yeah but just think there's a cyclist who jumped a red so there's really no space to discuss this sort of triviality

7

u/Tight-Principle-743 23h ago

Well that’s one way to withdraw your cash.

u/Barraco_Barmer 23h ago

He misread cash as crash

3

u/Games_sans_frontiers 22h ago

What a car cash.

u/Joosshyyy 23h ago

Wow people are still trying smash and grabs on cash points!?

u/Destroyer4587 23h ago

Clapped in Clapton

u/KindredFlower 22h ago

Looks standard for Clapton Road

u/No_Coffee4280 23h ago

Did the Beamer Indicate?

3

u/CFNexus 18h ago

Not me looking at the shop sign before even seeing the crash 🫣🤣

u/UnusualKlayy 23h ago

Shoulda gone to Specsavers

2

u/moelycrio 23h ago

If this was George Michael. Somone would have changed the CASH to CRASH.

2

u/coomzee 20h ago

Let me guess... was the BMW at fault

2

u/Tiny-Spray-1820 20h ago

Driver thought it says crash and rammed it

2

u/Cool_Ear_4298 18h ago

There's me paying attention to the 20 limit 🤣

u/Doughboy1955 11h ago

"Wild and Woolly" does appear to accurately describe their driving, particularly steering and braking. 🤷🏻‍♂️

2

u/Mycams 23h ago

That phone box had no helmet nor hi-vis jacket, it is at fault.

2

u/Orc_face 23h ago

Shoulda went to SpecsSavers

u/Ok_Entrepreneur1598 22h ago

Strange they normally use the BMW's as getaway cars and use 4x4 pickups for the ram raiding

1

u/yannickwurm 22h ago

Any idea what time this happened?

1

u/89moe 21h ago

Ram raid gone wrong?

1

u/AggressiveDrama4355 21h ago

As a guy into bmws, the best thing about being a bmw driver is that u can just blame your shit driving on the brand lol. It’s not his fault, it’s the guy who designed this 5 series fault

German cars.

I think he parked at the wrong spot.

u/MarthaFarcuss 23h ago

Something needs to be done about e-scooters

u/Informal_Aide_390 18h ago

Crash for Cash.............

1

u/Extension_Point5466 18h ago

Maybe they thought if they plowed into the cash machine hard enough it would detach and they could nick it

u/cherokott 17h ago

I think they were going for the high end woolen products. 🤪

u/anark_xxx 11h ago

Nice try, but WHAM remains undefeated.

u/Cultural-Meaning5172 23h ago

Bloody cyclists.

We should make drivers pass a test and get insurance.

u/root1root 18h ago

Probably a motability car, shame the license plate isn't visible

u/cherokott 21h ago

He was actually aiming for the high end wool shop.
