Irish Euromillions winner Ferrari Crash

bigslick

Poster says, "Euro Millions Lottery winner lost control on a snow covered junction. Crashed through barbed wire fence, over a few rocks and parked his 458 Italia in a bush! "

Location is stated as Londonderry, Ireland.




Could be worse, only a small scratch for a multi millionaire.

Looks alright enough i guess.

What a complete fool though. Fecking hell.

Why? I'm sure there were hundreds of other similar accidents in the last couple of weeks due to snow/ice! Give the lad a break!

458 man, if you're reading this, give me loads of money for defending you.

Probably still on all-sesaon tyres

Sounds a bit like what happened to a former leader of the government in the Republic - he got a Ferrari of an economy won with Euro millions too, and he jumped in, took off like a bat out of hell, and crashed it straight onto the rocks and into the ditch... They're still trying to dig it out while he goes round with a stupid grin on his face...

Londonderry, I'd say he was British when he won the lottery and Irish when he crashed the car.

Probably can afford to just leave it in the ditch and get a new one.....high quality problems there.

Eddie Irvine syndrome: British when he took his Ferrari home in top spot. Irish when he stuck it in the barriers.

On RTE, he was Irish when he was winning with Ferrari, but became Northern Irish when he was midfield for Jaguar.

Is Londonderry near Derry?

Living on the land of Ireland you are Irish or Northern Irish(if you like).

In much the the same way somebody in Scotland or Wales cannot be considered English just because they live on the same soil. They may be British but they have a right to claim their own independence as a separate state.

Although I'm sure he is happy he didn't have to pay VRT on it.

Considering he had a Range Rover at home he surely should have considered driving it instead of the Italia. :rolleyes:

If this owner of this reads this, I want you to know.


You are a legend.

Too many people are winning obscene amounts of money and not spending it on ridiculously fun stuff like..cars like this.
if I hear of one more príck winning this thing and not spending the money on really expensive stuff I'm gonna crack.




by the way, it's a supercar, I mean really..like most people here wouldn't crash one.
driving ability you think you have =/= driving ability you actually have.

Sensible man. Remember the joke about another Kerryman who won the lotto?

He bought himself a JCB-GT.;);)

Too true. The amount of people who camplain that the euromillions is "too much", "sure you couldn't spend it all", "I'd keep one million and give the rest to charity".

FFS at least allow yourself to have a good time in your dreams. We'd complain about anything.

I wouldn't have time to spend it on a Ferrari cos I'd be too busy with the whores and coke.

Merry Christmas everyone

Well said, Richard. This Irish complex thing is so annoying. I thought the Queens visit might see and end to it, but it appears not.
