I saw a similar off a while back when a guy in a mk2 rs2000 lost it going down duffus and slid backwards towards the tyre wall. He also stopped about 6 inches from the tyres, got out , had a look then once he realised it was ok gave the applauding crowd a wave and a bow.
10 secs later some nutter in a bucket did exactly the same thing ploughing straight into the rs2000.
The guy was gutted, perfect rear end and knackered nosecone, wing and bonnet.
