From The Daily Mail:
A driver who crashed his car into a new £200 million shopping centre in a failed suicide bid is being sued for more than £200,000 for the damage he caused.
James Williams drove his Ford Puma into Cabot Circus in Bristol at around 100mph but amazingly survived the crash after a passing doctor administered first aid at the scene. The 25-year-old, who was left with a permanent limp as a result of the smash, pleaded guilty to dangerous driving and causing criminal damage and was jailed for 21 months in July last year.
After being released from prison he is now being sued for £213,115.76 by the Bristol Alliance Partnership, which owns the shopping centre - which opened just months before the crash. The amount includes £115,000 for replacing wrecked windows, £50,000 for temporary support and consultants' fees of £40,000...

If he felt suicidal before...
If at first you don't succeed.........you can always try double or quits.
He should have used an Austin Allegro - two birds with one stone.

Maybe next time he'll reverse into the building at speed in a Ford Pinto?
If you're going to do a thing at all, it's worth ...
A bit thoughtless threatening a bloke with kamikaze tendencies.
What about the sodding car! Puma's are a Ford success. My No 2 daughter has a 1.7 one. It's fan-bloody-tastic. If he totalled one of those, or worse yet the Rally Sport version, he deserves all he gets.
