Not far from me, I gave up trying to cycle my twins and bike trailer to nursery this morning, so took the car. Even with winters on it was very icy on smaller roads. People where abandoning their cars everywhere.

Which begs the question of why take a 458 out in this weather?

I'd assume anyone with the wherewithal to buy one would probably also have at least one other car at their disposal.

That's my old next door neighbour. He isn't the kind of guy to drive around like a dick, unlike the super dodgy car salesman, Mr Williams, another 458 driving Cyncoed resident.

I took my vantage to work today and it was fine, though I did have a slight sideways moment in the company car park. These kinds of cars I've found are fine with ice, but useless when the snow comes down.

bet he is upset, I would be.

"This was the scene this morning after a Ferrari crashed into a pillar because of black ice on a Cardiff street.

The Ferrari 458 Italia, which has a starting price of £170,000, crashed on Llandennis Avenue, Roath Park, at around 7.20am.

South Wales Police said that conditions on the street were very icy at the time of the crash and another car, a Vauxhall Insignia, was involved in a separate crash on the same road just minutes later.

police stated no one was hurt and no arrests were made."

Must admit, I thought the same. Maybe the thought the car's traction control etc would see him ok?

I'd also question why the lazy feckers at Cardiff council didn't bother getting any grit down last night - well not that I experienced anyway!

because if you have a nice car why not use it as a daily? no photos of the insignia that crashed just after, which begs the question why take a vauxhall insigna out in this weather?
