I know trucks aren't meant to be pretty but those are particularly awful looking
I'm assuming they're quite special mechanically or something?
They are torpedo cabs or T cabs, Scania used to make so you could pretend to be an American! They don’t make them anymore but that company custom builds their own and tbh is mainly for the look, although you can have any spec/extras you want at that place if your pockets are deep enough! I'm assuming they're quite special mechanically or something?

pretty much! With the added bonus of working on the engine without tipping the cab.

Curious to how it happened if he wasn’t involved. I’d have thought, with that pista being 1of1, that it wouldn’t be a car to be lending to a mate.
Sure he’ll explain when he’s ready.
Hopefully whoever was involved wasn’t hurt.
So today was a charity day. As you guys know I do a lot of charity work, I had a message off my mate who had a family reach out to him about their sons 5th birthday today, he’s terminally ill and his wish is to go in a Ferrari Pista as that’s his favourite car in the world. Sure he’ll explain when he’s ready.
Hopefully whoever was involved wasn’t hurt.
It was in my mates area so I asked him if he wanted to take my Pista, I trusted him as he has lots of Ferrari’s himself, I couldn’t make it today as I was taking my daughter to a party and the wife was at a baby shower.
He was travelling at 60mph on a national limit road, this was genuine too as a copper was behind him so he couldn’t boot it if he wanted to.
Anyway a Ford Focus pulled out of a side road and he swerved round the car hitting mud on the road that the local farmer had left on there (he’s getting in trouble for this too as the copper skidded too). Anyway he hit a post and lots of bushes, airbags went off, trapped in the car and badly damaged.
Needless to say the poor birthday boy never got to see his favourite car.
Here’s the photos

Holy s

Cars awful but I feel bad for the little boy!
If he's anywhere near Hertfordshire, I'd be more than happy to take him out in my 488 if you can't rearrange?

I’m gonna send my other Pista his way next weekend but I’m gonna be driving this time haha.
“No drama. Will take my other one”
Hope all are ok - and the insurance claim must be a torrid affair !
