A hapless motorist today admitted crashing her pink Vauxhall Corsa into an Aston Martin DBS worth £180,000.

Natasha Gregory went online to respond to comments made about the bizarre accident on the ‘Shout Out Swindon’ Facebook page.

The 24-year-old, from Swindon, claimed she clipped a kerb, lost control of the car and smashed into the 190mph DBS - a favourite of James Bond - as its owner stood filling it up, shunting it into a petrol pump.

The luxury vehicle has now been taken to the scrapyard.

They must have a different definition of scrapyard over in that area of the world because that damage looks totally fixable. I work for a scrapyard. Do you know what we do to vehicles that come in there? We crush them, load them on a truck, and ship them to where they are shredded. Cars go for $185 dollars a ton right now where I work.
