overtired post just before bed.

couldnt think of anything clever to go with this link

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2029691/Mechanics-cheeky-spin-Ferrari-F40-owner-away-ends-300-000-disaster.html

but jesus what is it with these silly buggers not being able to help themselves? off the top of my head i can think of a Veyron getting destroyed by the owners errant younger brother in the UK. a Fezza getting stolen from Crown Casino in melbourne with the assistance of some dopey valets, some cops in the US destroying a Ferrari while 'transporting' it to an impound lot, some other idiot american comedian crashing one at a promo for the awful film Redline..the list goes on im sure..

I dont know about these other guys but if i had one i would keep the keys in a safe when they werent in my pocket or the ignition..

Not to mention keep the drive out exits to its storage locked.

It's the attitude that people think they're somehow entitled to use other people's stuff without permission just because they have access to it that stinks.

[Beer Baron]

f**king hell. did it have to be another F40. my 2 favourite cars of all time (F40 and Maclaren F1) are dropping like flies at the moment. it's making my chance of owning 1 of each slimmer and slimmer by the day!

Flooded engine: A Ferrari 360 Spider.... Except the engines in the rear

[SVD115]

funnily enough, the ferrari factory has all the required expertise to fix any of the fezza's that get stacked, like they've currently got going on with their restoration scheme...i don't think that any of the high desirable ones would end up in a scrap yard...if they did, that's just poor motoring...

poor F40

[Miguelone]

if they did, that's just poor motoring...

Or sensationalist journalism...

Or sensationalist journalism...

Naaah not in this day and age..

[Marlin]

They'll fix that F40.

Even the one that killed those Japanese dudes in the Connanball all those years ago was repaired....... That's one F40 I wouldn't want though

[hamiltonau]

think the killer F40 will be worth more or less with that notoriety?

i would probably have it if it was devalued to say...40k..

I don't understand how these people crash them, No word of a lie i drove a lambo on my L's. You pretty soon learn to respect a car like that. Do they think they are superman or something.

how does someone crash a hyundai excel? usually a mix of not paying attention and running out of talent. in the case of the mechanic in the ferrari, the story says the car was on original (20 or so years old) tyres. they would be rock hard and have bugger all grip. might as well be driving in the rain on slicks
