Also he was drunk so his insurance will most likely not touch him.

It didn't happen yesterday either it was almost a month ago

Just to be anal, 360 Modenas ceased to be made in 2005 when the F430 came out, so Id say that car is probably a 2003 or 2004 model.

A burnout in a ferrari outside the Windsor = the attention of maybe 12 - 30 people,
Crashing your ferrari outside the windsor = the attention of a million people.

this guy has made himself into a worldwide tool, haha. good on 'im.

and that guy in the BG, I imagine he is saying "Dude your F*ed up your Ferrari!" - thats from a movie I think but I cant remember which . someone tell me!!!

Some people really do have more dollars than sense. Probably pocket change to him. Imagine the bill if the engine was in the front.

look like he got his ambition and abilities all screwed up.

well I reckon if he has the money to own (or maybe owe) a car like this, then he will be able to pay for it.

If he can afford to drive that car I am sure he can afford to fix it, assuming it was his car and not one of those fancy hire car places.
Did you guys see that guy a couple years back who put one in the wall doing a burnout at a race track, no insurance. .

Spoolman, I think that was at Powercruise at Eastern Creek? The one entered in the Powerskid or something, just snapped and slammed the wall to the cheers of at least 10,000 people in the stands..
Ah well, he will learn not to show off next time wont he.

The guy in that pic is the tow truck drive. By this stage the driver was around the corner discussing the pros and cons of traction control with the boys in blue. Apparently it causes a bit of understeer haha!
