Ferrari Wedding car crash

Sounds suspiciously like a head job to me. They should have waited until they were married.

 

was it in Sydney

 

I thought it was Victorian, and an older model than a 355... but it was on the news for only a millisecond...

 

It was a Mondial Cab owned by Victorian club member who runs a wedding hire car cpy. The guy in the neck brace is Adrian, the cars owner.
The car is a write off, chassis obviously bent- check the kink in the body just aft of the doors.
Very unfortunate. Accident put down to mechanical failure.

 

Apparently they went over a speed humb and the accelerator got "stuck" and would not lift off - so into a wall!

 

Mechanical failure?? Who was the last guy to work on that Ferrari.................................. Id be getting paranoid and heading for the hills. LOL Unless it just happened??

 

Sticking throttles happen on much less exotic cars than Ferraris... I owned a recalcitrant Nissan with that 'wonderful' twin plug technology that just refused to stop sticking for no particular reason....

Cured with a new throttle linkage, cable and anything else around it that was replaceable... but its not an elegant solution to something that should be simple.

Thankfully for me, the Nissan was a manual, so you could dip the clutch and stick it in neutral if you were travelling beyond mach one (if it were possible ) and if need be, switch off...

 

Did this really just happen... I saw this car around 3.30 when I left the Docklands... and it was perfectly straight then....

What, where and when happened?

 

Georgie Gardner showed us #9 disciples on her amazing 6pm news broadcast...

 

Yes, and car park in Melbourne somewhere.

 

Well, it was parked outside the Exhibition cnetre when I saw it.... lots of empty car parks with huge puddles there today... maybe they were doing circle work?

 

it was on top of a building as well. Lucky they hit the wall and not over the edge!

 

Here it is. Apparently the bride suffered fractured ribs. No missionary position tonight......

What a shame!

At least no one was (seriously) hurt. I'm sure I've seen that car around Melbourne before.

EDIT: I just read the article, and I should say that I hope the others that were in the car are not seriously hurt.

 

cheers greg, i guess it's a day they'll remember in more than one way now..... i'd say the "considerable speed" mentioned was an apt one........

 

i want the wreck, who has it pickles, NRMA somebody tell me

 

Hey Goobs... it happened on the roof of the world trade centre....

I can see a new avatar for you now......

Maybe it was TERRORISTS!!!! See, we get FERRARI's crashing into our Trade Centre...

Melbourne Rocks.

 

who was driving, was it a car jacking, did jihad joe do it, were there box cutters involved, obviously did their driver training in the camel driving country, and is there a memorial on the site so that car parking is prevented for ever.

 

you should go to hollywood ! or helping local movie industry...

you're wasting your talent on F-Chat.....

 

Is it just me, or does the Mondial actually look really nice when crashed? I almost thought the front fender was a 355!
