How embarrassing!

Watch this.

Poor bugger.

That bit of road is pretty open two lanes and I think it's a 40 or 50 limit as quite a few bits of road converge and people swap between them.

"about that gap insurance...."

I’m assuming it wasn’t one of us. We’re all driving gods and would get to know a car properly first. Two miles though. Jesus wept. When I picked up my 911 turbo I drove like a myopic granny for the first week while I got to understand the car.

I have the misfortune of accidentally messing up new things. The more I care about them, the more chance of me messing them up.

I would have been thinking, just get the bloody thing home, if I’d just picked up a new Ferrari.

Cold tyres on a cold road more like.

Typical local journos misreporting the car, pretty sure its not an F8 Tributo.

Would be fairly certain to say it’s a 488.

Never get how people mange stuff like this unless you have the systems turned off. I have driven quite a few cars like this and they are all pretty friendly unless you properly provoke them.

Bit of spit and polish....it'll rub or smack out

Where the car is pictured in the BBC article is just after the exit of a short 2 lane underpass. The road has a gentle right hand bend and is uphill.

Daresay it was pushed a bit under the bridges that go over the road he's on and a bit too much speed off the bend.

In his defence it'd be easily done.

Is this Demolition Derby?

Assuming it's a genuine event that has happened today, the owner won't ever struggle to remember the date it happened!!
