couldnt think of anything clever to go with this link

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..

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!

You think that's bad - how bout this

Tamara Ecclestone gets a 599 GTO from her boyfriend. Oh damn.

Hangon.. paris had a LFA??

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 :(

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

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
