Seems that he is a better football player than driver ... and maybe an asshole too

Jabba · 07-07-2004, 07:46 AM

Sounds like he was trying to show off to me...which he probably now regrets.

yg60m · 07-07-2004, 07:49 AM

nooo, you know it's TC fault

^^ Just a shame that only a beautiful Ferrari had to pay the price for that...

OMG poor car..

but now I will laugh at him for saying this

"Last night Wright, 40, blamed the supercar’s traction control system.
He said: “Any Ferrari driver knows that when you turn the ASR off you’re dancing with the Devil."

silly muppet should learn to drive..

Thats the trouble with those dam things...they give you way to much confidence IMO and make you think you are a really good driver....then you turn it off for some extra excitement...and BAM its all over in two seconds.

what a moron.he obviously was going much faster than 30mph and if your doing more than 30mph in a ferrar and putting your foot down,u cant exactly hide the fact you were speeding can u with the noise they make,lol

u cant exactly hide the fact you were speeding can u with the noise they make,lol

....you could always say you were in first gear.

Another jock asshole killing a nice car...what a shame!

P.S. Good to see you back, gis!

gis · 07-07-2004, 08:57 AM

LOL, saw that.. Seems to be a good advice...

1. there's no way you could do that sort of damage to a 360 at 30mph - the bloke was without doubt speeding.

2. he blames the traction control, but says that it was switched off (eh?!, What??)

3. if its a 30mph zone, then what reason could there be to switch off the tc? (ok, i got it, burnouts, doughnuts etc etc - no wonder he stuffed it).

4. luckily, the car will live to see another day i expect. if its worth 120k (ok, sun is being a little overoptimistic, more like 100-110) then you're looking at repairs of up to 50k easily making financial sense, so it will be repaired. Friend of mine who span his 360 coupe against some armco managed to do 45k worth of damage - car was off the road for 6 months but was repaired (almost) good as new.

The guy does come across as an idiot though..

02p etc.

it could happen to us too... the only problem that theres no Ferrari in our garage

(except Jabba ofcourse)
