Apparently this what may happen when you loan a car to some people at the BBC

No, I think the guy behind realised the R35 had good brakes and thought he'd use them as well

I understood that the damage was done whilst the car was being used on the Isle of Man by Top Gear MAGAZINE, not the TV show.

Can anyone confirm the truth?

I'm sure there are plenty of theories, the one I have heard was it was hit by an R8

didn't realise the damage was that bad!

heard somewhere that's the same car as the one I saw at Goodwood. if so, great repair job, must have been done so quickly as well.

bet Nissan were panicking about the car being able to fulfill it's commitments!
