Daily f***ing Mail

[Danny S]

Is there a reason they get everything wrong?

The headline:

DailyMail said:

From prancing horse to pranged write-off: Driver smashes into delivery van in his £140,000 Ferrari

Then the 3rd paragraph..

DailyMail said:

Towards the end of yesterday's morning rush hour the £120,000 supercar

Is it just me or do they get something like this wrong everytime on supercar related stories? It always seems to be the pricing of the item?

/RANT.

Ok, I'm biased, but that looks lurvely in black with black wheels, even if it hasn't got a proper roof, and has a silly bonnet ornament.

Don't read it.
End of problem: no need to rant on the internet.

You expect standards of journalism in The Wail?

[tim-b]

Is that really a write-off? Doesn't look too bad...

[Brian Gobblehoof]

If they can get such an easily checkable fact wrong it boggles the mind how wrong they must be in more complex arguments.

Actually scrub that. It doesn't boggle my mind at all. It's The Daily Mail.

This job was posted up on another forum I visit.

Isn’t it standard Ferrari depreciation? £20k is 40 seconds sounds about right.

If he put his typewrite away mid story, read a bit about Ferrari fires, his next valuation would be £100,000 super car

Nice point

The best bit is that neither price is right, the Spyder lists at £147k, so surely you should round it to £150k?

There is quite some distance in a straight line between the corner and the point of impact. I'm not sure how the driver missed the fact that there was a massive great big white van blocking the road infront of him.

Not to mention the van is parked on double yellows

[minky monkey]

Quoted from the forum

"the owner of the car was just sat on a wall having a coffee!!!! the most carmess man i have ever meant!!he was more worried about being late for work the van had started backing up from only 2-3 meters away so god know how fast he was trying to go"

[Jim the Sunderer]

It's a good thing he'll be paying a lot of money insuring that car he can't drive properly.

(Probably not a lot of money)

[Danny S]

So was the van reversing or stationary?

[minky monkey]

The van reversed into the Ferrari.

[TuxRacer]

I did the same thing this morning. Except it was a food waste bin instead of a Ferrari.

[Danny S]

Not good, so the ferrari was behind and it just reversed?

It doesn't look like much force was involved in the accident
