I still think you should take the good bits out... sell them on ebay... then take your car to a field, torch it...
Walk home and ring the police and tell them it was stolen. Thus you get full money from insurance, don't lose NCB and make a profit on top from the bits you sell on ebay!

Apart from being illegal, I'm sure you loose your NCB if its stolen and claim.

Yer considering the amout of pics on the net already its not going through insurance and never was too risky.
Basically we had come out of a corner (tony knows the name of it) put the power on and the back end switched 90 degrees. We spent the whole straight at a right angle in a slide. Then we straightend up but it over corrected and we went in the the barrier drivers wing first at about 35mph.
In a FWD car the last thing you expect to happen is for the back to come out when you are on the gas 
I am on the look out for a CTR with a dead engine or splitting it into a million pieces to stick on ebay 
I am going to guy that pic though as that is within the last two mins of its straight life

You would think that yes. But it seems easily possible to happen. Same thing happened to Damo at Coombe
