It won't last, obviously, but it's a solid start.

Dixie, I'm sure that there's lots of overlap amongst those here. Remember that the first sales of WiTP were at GenCon, a 'multi-purpose' convention in Ohio. Think there were any comic geeks there?

Oops, it's a £700,000 prang... Hapless blonde crashes her Bentley into a Merc, Porsche, Ferrari and Aston Martin

By DailyMail UK


When in Monte Carlo, everything is done in style. And that includes crashing your car.

This was the moment when a woman driver caused a £700,000 five-car pile-up as her Bentley collided with a Mercedes, Ferrari, Porsche and Aston Martin.

Disaster struck as the hapless blonde negotiated the traffic around the Place du Casino in her £250,000 Bentley Azure.

The driver of a white Mercedes S Class worth £75,000 was the first victim as the 2.7-ton Bentley scraped down the side of it before ploughing into a £143,000 black Ferrari F430.


Hope you're insured, madam: A policeman tries to sort out the chaos beside Monte Carlo's Place du Casino:




An Aston Martin Rapide worth £150,000 and an £80,000 Porsche 911 also came a cropper. The driver and her two passengers then suffered the embarrassment of being surrounded by tourists as they were unable to open the doors of the convertible.

It is estimated the crash will cost more than £40,000 with the Ferrari, Porsche and Aston Martin requiring new front wings and bumpers. The Bentley will need the same repairs, plus a new door.


Chaos: A staggering £685,000 worth of supercars were involved in the inpromptu game of demolition derby:




Ruud Poot, editor of European motoring website Autogespot, said: 'You probably couldn't find a worse place in the world to crash your car than outside Monaco's Place du Casino in the middle of the summer.'

A staggering £685,000 worth of cars were shunted in a matter of minutes - enough to make the Top Gear boys wince in pain and criticise who caused the incident.

But with recent research suggesting women drivers are more likely to be involved in an accident, they could be forgiven for adhering to the stereotypical view.

Scientists at the University of Michihan looked at 6.5million car crashes and found a higher than expected number of accidents between two female drivers.

They also discovered that women have a tough time negotiating crossroads, T-junctions and slip roads.


Aftermath: Hundreds of tourists snapped away on their cameras and mobile phones after what could easily be the world's most expensive accident:

Finished one shorter campaign (draw), lost one full campaign, and abandoned the remaining two.

BTW, you abandoned two campaigns due to some bad decisions in game that you made?
