As I left for work this morning
I passed a guy who'd spun his car in the pissing rain on the road round the corner from mine. Wide residential road, no real drama, low speed impact, shouldn't really be a problem. Except of all the cars parked either side of the road available for him to bollocks it up into, he'd managed to hit my neighbour's 2 month old Ferrari California.

Oh, I didn't just snigger, I roffled. Also, amazing how many police show up to "supervise" when someone crashed into a £200K car. The poor guy who'd spun was white as a sheet.

Oh well, that's what insurance is for.
Also, your neighbour is clearly a cock for owning a Ferrari and not having a garage.

Yes
but your insurance premium increases in relation to the cost of your claim as well as the number of claims. So one pranging of a Ferrari might mean you can never afford insurance again..

He might well be but there are very few garages near central edinburgh.

he's a 6' 4" Sikh built like a brick shitehouse
you tell him.

He's also got a white BMW X6-M with white leather so you may be right.

Then he should really have a double garage.

not many buildings with garages in Edinburgh centre.

Then he shouldn't own such wanky cars.

You can tell him.

it is also terribly ugly
I saw a black 458 yesterday, it looks better irl than in pictures
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Thu 11 Aug 2011, 12:59, Reply)

I like the 458
I'd rather have a lamborghini though

I'd still rather have a TVR Tuscan 1 than either.

( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Thu 11 Aug 2011, 13:05, Reply)

I really strongly dislike the looks of TVRs
and they work even less of the time than Alfas

Gallardo, Aventador or my preference Reventon?

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Thu 11 Aug 2011, 13:07, Reply)

I like the Gallardo
but the Reventon does look absurd, which is what they are all about
