The Enemy - Clarke Totals Brand New Car

THE ENEMY rocker TOM CLARKE was left red-faced after crashing his brand new sports car - less than a week after purchasing it.

The frontman drove his TVR 350c off a busy road, before spinning out of control and smashing into a pole.

He says, "I'd only had the car four days! I lost it in the outside lane of the A90 (U.K. road) on my way to Aberdeen (Scotland). The car spun four times before hitting a barrier, then it left the road and went over a bollard before wrapping around a parking sign."

The star has released a photo of his wrecked vehicle as a warning to fans to drive safely, admitting he was lucky to have walked away with his life: "Amazingly, there were no injuries. The crash felt like when you fall over trying to put your boxers on!"
