Engine removal service - cambelts in 5 seconds?

Slightly off topic but I thought these shots a friend of mine snapped today might be entertaining (amazingly! no serious injuries).

Apparently a Vauxhall Astra full of "berks" was weaving through the traffic on the M1 motorway today, when they lost control 2 cars in front of my friend. They proceeded to head down the grass embankment where they met a tree. At this point the front of the car parted company with the cabin, firing the engine (exhaust still attached) onto the "slow lane" of the motorway!

Result was general carnage with car remains rolling down hill, front end shocks and all on hard shoulder and engine sitting in the carriageway. Few cuts and bruises plus a mob of people laughing their heads off saying "you deserved that mate" was all that happened! Passers by pulled the engine and bits out of the way and everyone carried on...there is justice in the world sometimes it seems...LMAO.

What's a "berk"?

 

"Pillock"
"Bafoon"
"Wassak"
"Billy"
"Cretin"
"Southern Shandy Drinking Sausage Jockey" - not strictly true, but a good one lol

Basically, an idiot...

 

Cretins, yes, but bloody lucky to still be breathing.
