there is a video around of an "old boy" driving an F50 down some stairs (to the pits I think) and I would imagine doing some pretty serious damage to his car...

Yeah, I remember the F50 accident... but if I'm not wrong he also hit a person that was standing there... or that was another one?

I can just see those people who hand built that car crying at home after the countless hours they put into it being trashed like that. Well i think most people that buy these cars are either too scared to drive fast or are decent enough drivers to push them around on the track. I mean they must have had some brains to make the kind of money needed for the car.

hahahah nice work jabba, i would love to be cruzing the night club strip, capachino strip, or anything in a ferrari, lambo bmw (not a civic with a wing, hahahaa)
as for a profesional image BMW M3, or M5
... not a fucking jag!!!!!

i would be very privlaged to own such cars, but it would just piss me off ppl getting close 2 me, only because i own these matrtial items, or they want a ride.
i like to be apreciated for who i am, and not what i have (althoe complaments on the ferrari i would own would be nice ) hahah if any of that made sence???

I have seen some pics and a video of Ferrari accidents. The pics were really disgusting. I deleted them istantly. You can probably find them on rotten.com or something.

The videoclip was rather funny. A Ferrari driver wanted to impress some people on a public road, did a burnout next to some cars waiting in line. Couldn't keep the car straight and hit one of the other cars. The MF simply drove off.

Okie i did a simple search on google and found a link for that video, not clear but hey

http://www.kicken.com/funnyfiles2/ww...rari.crash.mpg

that must had been a really expensive accident. Can we say a ton of understeer. Poor guy got run over also.....just a very sad turn of events.

Also found a link to exotic car accident pics for those with a strange fetish for this. Includes pictures of a diablo and numerous ferraris....ouch!

seriousley, who hops in a F50, and doesent know how 2 break (to stop the car crashing at 3km/h!)
wtf!
it's very sad indeed
if i had or was going to drive a F50, i would want alot of driving experance, and some expert driving courses under my belt, lol
and even then i would be shit scared to fully accelerate :shock:
ppl that can take POWERFUL cars and thrash them (and be in control and do it good) have alot of kudos from me!
they are either bery good, lucky or stupid drivers!

I have heard of that vid, but had never seen it. What a waste of a driver, he should never ever, be allowed to drive any car that has more than 100 bhp as he cannot handle anything more.
