It happened on Jan.27, 2002 near village Tarbja, on small lake. There was icerally competition for enthusiats on one part of lake. This Subaru driver did not participate in the competition, he just ignored rules and went for the quick round to unmarked ice. Unfortunately there was open water in that area of lake in the morning and thin ice when it happened.

The Subaru was brand new STI with approx 200km in odo. The driver had crashed badly his last year edition WRX twice and he had received the STI just day before. Fortunately the driver is thin but tough man, so he has survived unharmed every time. This time he even didn't get wet.

so he wrecked 2 WRXs and destroyed this STi

maybe subaru should refuse to sell to him again because he's destroying limited production cars

might be considered 'tough' to get through all that... his head is tough too; sounds like a f-ing idiot to me
