How many other owners of that model there (if any) do you reckon had greedy thoughts about their now even rarer car going up in value?

over 11 000 examples of the 355 produced, it is the most common Ferrari and I doubt loosing even 1000 would make a price difference.

Ferrari's are awesome. Its the people that own them bring the reputation down. (LMAO, seem to hear that a lot lately about many a topic)

Its not a car's fault, it is ALWAYS the owners fault, same can be said about skyline drivers, and i can assure you there are more cockheads driving around in skylines in australia than there have been Ferrari's made EVER.

And FYI a car will NEVER be impounded for an accident like that, the driver will get a neg drive like any other driver. And it doesn't look like speed was a factor, looks more like the driver pressed the brake and accelerator at the same time after the back end had already started to step out (which could be caused by anything from uneven road surface, leaves on the road dont forget it is autumn, wet/dry patches on the road, oil ect...)

"OK, now its time for my offical statement as the owner of this car:

Coming out of the park, i turned left. After traveling slowly for about 40m, i accelerated and the back end broke traction. I tried to correct and then went for the brakes. The brake and accelerator pedals are so close to together that my foot actually pressed both the brake pedal and accelerator. The car spun and hit the parked cars with great force. I was shaken, but my body did not hit anything inside the car.

I had the car taken back to its storage home, and will be taken to the panel shop in the morning for repair.

Thank god no one was hurt."

Its not a car's fault, it is ALWAYS the owners fault

Don't think it was Seb Buemi's fault when his front suspension collapsed under braking at 200mph at Shanghai... ... it could be the mechanic's fault :)

But yeah, of course it's the driver's fault 95% of the time for either lack of skill, judgement, and/or not maintaining the car correctly

An earlier poster on that thread said he was there with his wife and child. Hope they came in a separate car? F355 only seats 2. I also shuddered a bit when I read his forum username. Sh*ts me to tears when I see people of my race perpetuating the stereotype.

he should have to take it home, sit in in the driveway and think about what he did.. and then part it out like the rest of us shmucks that "f#%k up" to pay off the loan and have to drive a shitter around.

:( BEST COMMENT HERE! :P

thats why we get comprehensive insurance.... and a skyline in the same situation would have no more than a dent that could be sucked out in 5 minutes.

What was a nice 355. The 355 would be one of the hardest car to keep straight in the wet. when you think you have enough skills to let one lose, it then reminds you that your life and public liability insurance isnt big enough. LOL at the asian driver stereotype comment. I just love Ferrari haters until they find the dollars to get in one.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
