Dead man walking.

 

Jesus... Looks like Rowan Atkinson tried his hand as a mechanic. Didn't work so well.

 

No **** ... We also have a new mechanic on the unemployment line lol

 

WHAT A ******* DB!!

Similar story happened to a famous SS on this board.

It was resuscitated and reborn as a Phoenix.

 

I thought this comment was funny..

So turbos spooling = 60+. Got it.

 

You'll have to PM me on this one Joe, I gathered bits and pieces from the other thread, and have seen this GORGEOUS car in person, but am just wondering about the backstory for the sake of my own personal curiousity.

 

A Ferrari F-40 possibly the most beautiful car to ever come from Ferrari, and some dumbass wrecks it.

 

I can't believe this clown was hauling *** down Hempstead rd, this wreck happened close to our offices and production shop. Hempstead rd is quite possibly one of the shittiest roads in Houston, its uneven, broken and has potholes that could swallow that F40.

 

Exactly what I thought. Hempstead is the last road I would be driving a F40 on.

 

That's a strong fence.

 

wow, that tragic.
such a beautiful car.

 

It's really, none of my business...

But bro!!!,Please! You cant tell people my secret identity... my name is BLACKFLY!

LOL!

 

forward me the pm lol. this potentially scandalous story has my interest peaked

 

This is tragic but at least "George Foreman's grille is still intact."

 

I wonder if that's the same car from last months Cars & Coffee?

 

probably so, not many of those around.

 

Well at least before he took it out to total it the mechanic was nice enough to put a seat cover on it so he wouldn't grease it up.

 

Tragic loss there but has any one gotten word on why it was in the shop and if there was a mechanical reason for the wreck?


I know I'm not going to be well recieved here but from a mechanics point of view, maybe the throtle cable stuck or something like that. (I don't pretend to know foreign cars) Also, I used to work with a guy who was a type 1 diabetic. One day he just went under while on a test drive and when he woke up there was a stop sign an inch away from his face that came through the windshield when he ran off the road.
