frown damn, as you say, hope the driver's ok .... the car is a handful in the wet, especially if RACE is on

Hope the driver is ok too,

Shame about the car, but Life and health is far more priceless.

There cant be too many around in black - could it have been someone off here/FChat?

Either way, I hope the driver/passenger are OK!

Mines wrapped up in blankets for six months! Might have been that one for sale for ages with the caramel leather at Meridian????

Like already said there seem to be very few in Black. Someone might know somewhere how many.

Seems like the black ones are a real rarity then, it def had the CS wheels(well, at the rear at least!), couldnt see the front as it was crumpled and facing towards me.

I live about 1 mile from that rdbt, and I can just imagine what might have happened. Its very easy with a CS to accelerate from that rdbt in Race in the wet when the tyres aren't that warm and watch the back end go. So I'm guessing that might have been tha case - hope he's okay

I own a CS, so about 9.30am that morning I got a frantic call from my sister asking if it was me (aren't that many CS's in our neck of the woods le alone Ferraris!) - made the local news very quickly
