Sorry, mate, your engine is shot

The shot-up Porsche resembles a sieve.

The owner of a Porsche 911 decided to donate his car to charity after the engine blew up and he was told it would cost $30,000 to fix.

He tossed the keys to the Porsche to the Commonwealth Second Amendment, a United States charity group dedicated to reforming Massachusetts gun laws.

The group decided to use the silver Porsche as a fundraiser.

It sent out invitations to gun owners to use the car as target practice.

More than 140 turned up to form a formidable firing squad and pepper the car with thousands of rounds of ammo.

Critics said that at least the bodyshell should have been recycled.

But the charity body claimed that the overall car was in no state to be used for anything - even before the gunfire.
