    Poor Jethro!! He's definitely one of my favorites, doesn't sound too bad, just two rims. It happens I guess!

    Well, he can join Chris Harris in Luca's "never give the keys to again" category.

    ;) I missed it I guess

    I wonder if they were the optional rims like on the Autocar review or the twin-five spokes.

    That is funny!

    Driving a 612 is one of the hardest cars I have driven to navigate ... it was a 6 month no bleeps required learning curve

    It's long nose reminds me of my 9 ft chopper.

    Man it sounded good - tll he curbed her.

    Achem ... it has a 377,977 Sticker :)

    This is quite common when you get a Brit in an LHD car or Yank or European in an RHD car. Living in the UK for 6 years while flying F-111Fs at RAF Lakenheath, you could see it every day with newcomers. The two clues to newcomers were bouncing off curbs and turning on the windshield wipers instead of the turn signals (not a problem in RHD Ferraris, IIRC, same switches).

    You get used to it if you do it all the time, and my wife and I had LHD and RHD cars at the same time with no problems, but for the casual driver, can be a problem.

    So it bit him. Wide part of car on wrong side of steering wheel.

    Officially no, and no one really knows anyway, there are a few threads about it in the Ferrari Discussion section

    "how the f*blip*ck did that happen?"

    I am just gonna go a bit quicker...

    on a narrow twisty road like this...

    and there is more than a glance into the camera when he should be
    concentrating on the road (or, rather, the curbs...)

    Exactly, what if there wasn't anywhere he could've pulled over to.

    Didn't a car journalist take a perfectly good 599 and sideswipe a stone wall?
    Who was that?

    heehee ... no, not in Italy. But Lexus would make him do that if he crashed an LFA.
