Holy moses. That wont polish out!!

If that had been in the UK at least the lamp post would have fallen down too. :lol:
 
what a moron. well at the very least he deserved to have his car totalled.
 
OK, maybe I was being a little harsh, I was typing just at the same point as what my blood was boiling. But it does get my point across. This sort of driving "display" is stupidly stupid.

All it would have taken was a mother and baby in a pram to have been stood in the way and you would all change your tune...

"Witnesses in Adelaide, Australia, said the driver had 'turned the streets into a racetrack' before the vehicle span out of control and ploughed into a telegraph pole."

Maybe they just had the exact same opinion of anyone in a Ferrari as you do "deserved it for owning a Ferrari and being so flash"?

Or how about the fact that *Just maybe* it was an accident? I can tell you now (as there are two in our office car park) that an F430 doing 20 miles an hour sounds like it's doing a **** load more!

I know H&SE and the government are trying to stamp out the use of the word accident in favour of "incident" (thus implying SOMEONE was at fault), but these things do still happen.

The only reason why you feel he should be at fault and is obviously scum of the earth is because it's a Ferrari! Would you have said the same if it was a lesser car?

It was the same with the comments about the Veyron driver a few weeks back. So what if he crashed it? there are hundreds of crashes every single day but the media and the likes of you don't jump up and down just because some old codger in a VW Polo drives into a wall do they?


[edit] Anyway, I'm off for my first holiday of the year... ciao! [/edit]

Hmmm.....methinks if that was the result of a 20 mph crash then the F430 wouldn't have passed it's NCAP ;)

I'd write more, but I'm laughing too hard at the picture :lol:

It was a 360, ;)

The 360 is a pretty solid car, although Ferrari dont seam to have there cars Ncap tested, being a poll will mean it will do more damage then a brick wall, so hard to really say, but id suspect it was doing more then 20mph, but id be asking what was he doing for witnesses to say he had turned the place into the race track i.e racing other cars etc?

What utter rubbish, the driver of this car is a tool for driving at those kind of speeds in a built up area, I can see a house and a give way sign in the background, nothing to do with it being a Ferrari.

Given the fact there must have been some braking before the impact unless he was getting a BJ from the passenger I dread to think what speed he was doing before the impact.

Nathan,

Go back and look at that picture again. Then come back here and tell me that the driver of that car was tootling along at a law abiding 30mph when that "accident" happened.

That driver was simply being a tool, weather he was in a Ferrari or a Saxo. Sheer muppetry.

And for the record, an F430 (or any Ferrari for that matter) doing 20 mph sounds like a bag of spanners. Them engines were not built to idle... :lol:

^^ I know because I look after a 612 Scaglietti, its my job ^^ :woot:
 
this thread is getting quite funny

its become a thread of people arguing about something they didnt witness and have no reliable information on (metro is owned by daily mail). Not only that but are having their own little kangaroo court dishing out the punishment of horrifically injuring the driver and passenger!

Take a step back and look at the nonsese in this thread.

Have to agree.

I think we can all agree the driver was a moron of the highest order, but wishing serious harm on them for a stupid mistake that nobody else got hurt in, no matter what COULD have happened, isnt particularly pleasant ! I dare say i would be singing a different tune if he had wiped out a bus queue of school kids/people/pensioners etc but he didnt.

None of us know the circumstances of the accident apart from what was reported in the paper, and personally i dont trust any newspaper to print a true story with no inaccuracies in !

exactly...

'mild mannered accountant crashes ferrari by accident' doesnt make such a good story as someone racing on the streets in a ferrari.
 
i think ozzie roadside furniture might be magnetic :)

OK here ya go

another Adelaide paper quotes the witness:
"It's like they turned the streets into a racetrack," she said

metro quote:
said the driver had "turned the streets into a racetrack"

Notice the subtle difference and the important missing word!!

And bloody solid to boot, over here both of them poles would have been on the floor.

funny that the original story doesnt mention road racing.. get the feeling that the metro added that all by themselves

I'm sure the guy was delivering a heart to a dying child when this happened, surely the picture speaks for itself, excessive speed, numbnuts behind the wheel, car cut in half:shrug:

I'm with ya Wack !!

The pic speaks for iteself !! I couldn't care less for the witness's quotes, the guy blatently has no respect for anyone other than himself.

The fact that there WAS witness's means that there was people around.

They were the ones who were lucky, not the driver....
 
It's just Ferrari proving their crumple zones work efficiently. Massa and Raikkonen have been frequent provers as well this season.

can you explain to me the circumstances in which this crash could be an accident where dangerous driving wasn't involved, unless Ferrari crumple zones are made of chocolate of course:shrug:
