Many years ago my brother put a rod through the block of his M3 on the way to the Nurburgring the AA got him back to the UK and to the dealer.
They told him there had been a missed gear change at speed and no warranty.
Cost him a lot of money disputing it but they won.
What i do know as fact, back in 2005 I bought a new RX8 , some idiot ( I can say that now after 15 years ) decided to commit suicide by jumping out in front of the car on a cold dark November evening , fortunately for me i was well below the 70 mph , the car was a mess and impounded by the police , they confirmed to me that my speed was in fact 54mph and that my recollection of my braking times was pretty spot on , i was exonerated from any prosecutions at the inquest and the result was accidental death , the whole damnn thing took a year to come to fruition and screwed me up a little , known nuisance drug addict who had been into the police station 30 minutes before the incident , which was virtually outside said police station on the A27 in Worthing ...........................the police said then computers now can give us untold amounts of information
