    Fatal 348 accident in the US. :(

    Not an FChatter, but well known in his local Ferrari crowd and he had many FChat friends.

    Some nasty pics of the 348. The roof was cut off by the Fire Brigade. You can't beat the safety of new/modern cars.

    Goes to show how quickly your life can end. RIP friend.

    **Witnesses said the Ferrari wasn't speeding, apparently typica lof the newspaper/media making crap up**

    yep, a 90-year old turns in front of oncoming traffic and it's always the fault of the car he hits. :mad:

    media reporting has always been crap, I would hate to see the report if I had died in that accident 8 years ago ..... especially as it was before my 3 sec history :(

    Yep, they automatically suggested the Ferrari driver was at fault because of his speed. :rolleyes:

    Dr E's cars stolen.. http://smh.drive.com.au/motor-news/not-the-aventador-edelstens-cars-stolen-20120607-1zxbw.html

    Time to get some better security/access to keep the collection together.

    I saw him one Sunday morning early on Exhibition St and did a double take.. story says has appt there so makes sense now.

    Despite losing the cars temporarily I see from the pic he carries a couple of spare airbags ahem close at hand so he should be safe if he falls over face first.

    Would not have a clue, but at a guess.................it's something to do with cooling for the KERS system? :)

    Either way, I am sure it's not just for looks. :eek:

    Toyota/Subaru deny it, but once sales die down it's inevitable IMO although there are plenty of aftermarket options being prototyped ATM.

    There seems to be a bright future with regards to modifications coming.
