Yeah, right. The steering just broke right there and then and he stacked it. Whatever. More like he was acting a tit and binned it then blamed the steering to save face. Of all the things to blame too.

I guess it's Nikos Dabizas but last thing I heard he had a Cerbera.

Another reason to not give up a V8 then

Its doesn't say he was driving a Tuscan on the BBC & Sky pages anyway, so should we be jumping to conclusions when we don't know the full facts?

You're right Alf, just read the page. Doesn't even mention TVR. In any case I doubt he would have driven his Cerbera down to Greece, he's a rich footballer he would have flown.

Sounds like one of the quality Greek rent-a-cars.

He drives a Silver Cerbera..... I know

His car is badly damaged, as in written off. It caught alight following the accident and smuldered away.

It was a Cerb. Was, being the operative word.

So another Greek Cerbera owner or should I say Ex-Cerbera owner. Hope the Greek is OK.

Report I saw did'nt mention a TVR either , probable cause nut holding the steering wheel.

Isn't it funny how when you've dummped the throttle span the arse end and smacked the traffic lights causing the thing to burst into flames. (notice no front end damage) It suddenly becomes a TVR steering problem. sounds more like the pratt driving it.

Leading to more idiots going round telling people that TVR's are dangerous shitty cars, using this story as evidence.

If they find that there was nothing wrong with the steering then TVR should sue this guy for liabelous (sp?) damages.

As suggested on the other forum...

"Greek football player crashes car in early ours of morning after celebrating football teams victory in Euro qualifier."

Do you think the steering rack failed or do you reakon it was more likely that he was pissed ??

anyone who has seen him play will know he's prone to rash decisions and has an extremely heavy right foot and can hit row Z with shots
