I crashed a friends F430.

I went to see a friend of mine on Saturday night, my friend had recently purchased a red ferrari f430 and asked if i would like to take it for a drive? well i jumped at the chance, after a few miles we came behind a BMW 1 series that was driving quite slowly, i decided to overtake on a slight left hand curve, i could see far enough ahead to know it was safe, when i was beside the BMW he put his foot down a little and accelerated so i put my foot down harder and then the back end broke away, i fought for control but lost it and ended up in the barriers beside the road, maybe it would have helped if i had not turned off all the drining aids?
So my first experience with a F430 was not a good one, but still a great car to drive.
Lucky it was while playing GT5 online

 

I was just about to tell you how mad you were turning off all the traction controls (for your first drive), until I noticed ........

Very good!

 

I don t want to imagine your first sexual experience.....

 

oops, damage bad? I hope not but it sounds a tad possible

 

WE WANT PIX/VID !!

 

The F430 was still driveable after the accident, the BMW just carried on going.

 

I didnt think to take pics mate, i was just happy that we could get the car back on the road, and back in my mates garage, he blamed the BMW driver for the accident and not me at all.

 

I should add that we both had drunk two pints before i drove his F430 but i don't think that this contributed to the accident.

 

Hmmmmm... look to the left, OK, now look down...

It never does . Nonetheless, a bad first experience yet one you'll never forget. Glad you and the car made it out safely (blasted 1-series).

 

former friend?

 

We are still good friends, after the accident we got drunk together and had a great night.

 

That sucks. Im sure your friend will have a new one if a few hours.

 

haha, I would have got drunk and then punched your face in. If there is any excess on the insurance are you going to pay?

 

First time round Suzuka in the F40 I had the same thing with pesky DB9 !

 

He is not bothered about the money, anyway i am going to buy him a new 430 and take the crashed one myself

 

Don't know if you're being serious, or not...

 

Some people judge way to quickly.

 

People need to read the white text "between the lines".
Actually, in this case, "below the lines".

Well done! Good story, well delivered.

BTW, "GT5" = Gran Toursimo 5.

 

Ok, drinking a few and driving is OK I guess, we've all done it. Turning off all driving aid whilst inebriated? I don't even do that on my M3. You were pwned by a 1-series sir. You are awesome.

 

Idiot savant! probably never really happened at all

 

Did everybody miss this section of the post?

 

Shhhhhhhhhh................

 

Maybe.
