Dino destoyed near Naples FL

Ugh, what a shame. The driver is an F chatter. He was injured in the wreck, hopefully he will recover soon. The Dino looks pretty bad

Sorry to hear about this. I hope he gets well soon.
He was doing up to 100mph and swerving lanes?? The Dino looks a mess. Speeding puts everyone at risk. Driving with suspended licence also.........

I wish him a speedy recovery.

 

OUCH!

$25,000?!?! HA! In parts alone, maybe...

 

Keep us posted and let him know he's in our thoughts.

Is he still in critical condition?

 

That is Zannos whom I met and spent a lot of time with at Cavallino this past January. He and his wife are awesome people and have 5 kids IIRC. His F-Chat handle is FLYZDINO.

 

So sad, Wish all parties involved a full and quick recovery. What a shame and again a lesson for us all. I don't think the estimated $25,000 is going to cover the Dino's recovery though.

 

Driving with a revoked license
Speeding
Unsafe lane changing
Negligent driving
He got what he deserved!!! Thankfully he didn't kill anyone. Don't feel a bit sorry for people who risk others safety for their own stupidness!!! Should have NOT been on the road to begin with..

 

I also thought that at 1st when I read the news clip. But.......you have to remember that he is a human being and his speedy recovery and all others involved is priority IMO. But as you mentioned, he should not have been on the road with a revoked licence.
That is a very irresponsible thing to do and a major no no!! He is lucky he didnt kill anyone.

 

Well I hope he gets better quickly and learns from this. poor Dino.

 

this is terrible news.

if he is at all human i am sure he will feel terrible about hurting the woman in the Jeep. i wish him well, and i hope his wife and children have someone there to help them out. recovery will not be easy.

 

Article says he was going 70 in a 65!!!

WTF!!??

Everybody goes 70 in every 65!

 

Car is probably totalled. Thankfully,the driver, passengers and others involved were not.

That's more like $100K in damage, not $25K. Car is bent right on through the cockpit, you can see it in the doors. Assuming you can get the parts to fix the front clip, and the tube frame, and the doors...

Geez, what a mess.

And I have to agree (sort of) with 285ferrari. If he's out there, over 100mph, on a suspended license, weaving in and out of lanes, then an accident was bound to happen, and while I pray for his recovery, I have little sympathy for his injuries. HE knew the HUGE risk he was taking, and the potential danger to himself and others, and did it anyway.

He might have been going 70 in a 65, but in Florida , everyone else was probably going 30. Stinks though, a nice car is toast, and people were hurt. Suspended liscence and a crash will equal jail time.


Darrell.

 

it would seem this week sucks for super cars.
an enzo, F40, CGT, and now the Dino.
Dayum drive safe guys!

Hope he recovers quickly.

 

ditto!

 

I've seen too many people drive this way on the street-that's what the track day is for. Yes, I am sure at some time however we are all guilty.

 

This is similar to what happened to me this past Saturday. Though I was doing a legal 35mph when an elderly lady thought it was clear to make a left turn. My damage is extensive but nowhere near what happened here. And I'm estimating my damage well over $25K.

OUCH!

 

While I agree that speeding, changing lanes and driving on a suspended license are dangerous...I think that before we belittle this Dino driver too much, we should remember this part of the article....

"the Jeep pulled into the Ferrari's path."

I hope all involved come out of this OK.

 

BLVD rule does NOT apply to a vehicle being driven in a manner as described!!!

 

Might I make a suggestion?

Out of respect for our fellow Fchater, don't you think we can save the criticism for later? One of our own is down and we are being critical without knowing all the facts. Further, lapse in judgement or not, his family and friends and the other drivers family and friends are going through a tough time now.

Show some compassion and respect. He is a 41 yo cardiologist that is in critical condition.

Come on guys

 

You serious? I know about the Enzo. But where is the info on CGT and F40?

Pretty sad.

 

I agree, Zanos is a great guy in a bad situation.

All we know is that his Dino is wrecked & he is in the hospital

Who knows how accurate the article is. We should give him the benefit of the doubt

 

About 2 threads under this one. F40 not too bad though. Driver is ok I think?
