GP2:
Beast of Oadby comes a cropper in Istanbul
by Mathias Olaf Uncertain
12th May 2008
Sensitive readers should look away now..., Too late!
The
dotdotdotcomma
news desk is receiving unconfirmed reports that the now legendary Beast of Oadby™ may have been brutally killed in a high-speed hit-and-run incident while on holiday in the Akfirat region of Turkey with a young lady friend.
Our cryptozoology experts are reviewing telemetric information in our mission simulator and will advise as soon as any further details emerge.
The driver of the vehicle has been identified as one
Burnt Sienna
, a professional driver from Brazil.
The remains of The Beast™ itself have not been found, leading to speculation that he may have survived and crawled off under a hedge somewhere. However, a positive identification has been made by the primary witness, Mr Sienna.
"It's a dog!" he said.*
* Actually, he said something more to the effect of "F***ing sh*t! It's a f***ing dog! F***!", in a language that secondary witness
Binny Croft
could only describe as "Portuguese". Nasty.
