    From TMZ.....We've learned Italian model Fabio Lanzoni wrecked one of the most expensive cars in the world Saturday afternoon -- and it didn't even belong to him. We're told the Italian model was driving a Ferrari -- which was property of World Class Driving -- on Mulholland Drive near Calabasas, Cal. when he hit a turn going too fast and lost control of the car. Sources say the ridiculously expensive ride struck something off road, causing damage to the front and back ends on the right side of the car. Unlike the Ferrari, Fabio walked away pretty much unscathed, because we're told he was taking photos with fans at the Hyatt Hotel later that afternoon. A rep for WCD released this statement to us: "No comment. We are not very proud of the fact that Fabio wrecked our car." Calls to Fabio's reps haven't been returned.

    Do you all remember when he was riding on a roller coaster for some charity about 10 yrs ago and a goose flew into his face? It slayed me for weeks! I saw it on the news and practically peed myself laughing......I have nothing against Fabio but I will admit that seeing his face smashed by a goose was maybe the funniest thing I've ever seen. As far as crashing the 599.........well........ accidents do happen.

    From TMZ...Fabio clearly no longer has the Midas touch. He insists the cause of yesterday's Ferrari crash was brake failure. A rep for Fabio just gave us a jingle, claiming Mr. F was driving the $300,000 Ferrari Scaglietti during a sanctioned event for World Class Driving, when he hit the brake pedal on the dreaded Mulholland Drive and... nothing. And Fabio's rep says there's a witness -- an unnamed passenger in the car who heard Fab scream "I have no brakes," and then... crash.

    Sorry to drag this topic back to life, but I just stumbled on the 'as it happened' photos from the RockStorePhoto folks and figured I'd share them.

    Start with this one, then click to the right to see the sequence:

    http://www.flickr.com/photos/capfacsurf/3448781753/in/set-72157616811515927/

    Then you can look at the rest of the album which are pics from the overlook after he pulled off the road.

    He said his brakes failed, but I don't see any illuminated brake lights during the crash sequence.

    Fabio's an uncoordinated goof. Saw him at Romaine & Cole in Hollywood walking towards Gold's Gym on a few occasions wearing his damned cowboy boots he can't walk in - with that priceless yet worthless expression on his face - an admixture of "vacuous concentration". Still wish I had pics of when I steered my wheels really close to him one fine day while he concentrated deeply on putting one foot in front of the other.

    He was at the last FoBH Christmas Party last year, and he was an interesting guy to say the least. Not surprised by the crash.

    ...I don't respect anybody who has been hit in the face by a goose.

    After that affair you'd think he'd know himself unfit for a Ferrari...

    I'm embarassed that I wasted my time reading about Fabio, then I consoled myself by reasoning that, "hey,it's the 599 you cared about".At least it wasn't one of us causing damage to a Ferrari.

    I know, but I was reading the article very fast--looking at the picture--and just glossed over the reference to the 612.
