The drivers reaction was:
It looked worse than it felt, when it came to a stop I couldn't see the damage, and thought I might carry on.
The injuries to the driver totaled a graze on the shin from catching the door frame on the getting out of the car.
The car broke in (apparently) 12,431 pieces of body work, damaged all 4 tyres and the engine, and took 362 hours to rebuild.

There's a 'new' Porsche 911 coming out. It is still an example of Porsche's evolution not revolution design theory. Rear wheel moved back 70mm, 30-40 kg lighter, and more horsepower. One of the designers on the team was Bernd Kahnau, 42 years working at Porsche, the son of a Porsche factory production chief, as a baby he came home from the hospital, in a Porsche. Now I just wonder if he has children.
