Who's at fault? That's for the courts to decide. Too early to say for definite.

I'm sure insurance will cover it as it was an accident. Though it does prove that maybe people who aren't used to driving supercars should take it easy. It's not the easiest thing to lose on a straight slow road :eek: Though indeed maybe it's the pug drivers fault. God knows but i feel very sorry for whoever crashed the ferrar simply because it probably wasnt des cullen himself driving.

Or else the butler in the drawing room with the candle stick.

Absolute sickener, I wonder will the price go down in the next few months on that after the repair though...or will it just be exported:D

Word is out that a valeter out in Sandyford has written off a car belonging to Des Cullen cars.

Well, one of those cars has good NCAP.......and it isn't the expensive one !!

Ode To The Motorist
“And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

This seems to happen a lot with these cars, someone who is not familiar with them gives the right peddle a small prod "To see how she goes." and then next thing they are upside down in a hedge. Supercars and mortals do not mix.

The 599 was probably worth more than twice the price of the 575 though...
