370nel Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Daughter called me today to inform me she had had a little scrape with another car,,, 2nd in 12 months Thank god shes fine and i managed to patch up her Astra to get it home ,,, The ferarri wasnt so lucky and was taken away under cover http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x36 ...

Willy P Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Oh dear. Judging by the fact the rear wheel is buckled on the Ferrari I'd assume it was her fault. Savage. Ah well, that's what insurance is for. Classic rear ender going into a roundabout. Quote
leonk Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Shoot me down, but is it a real one? Just looking at the wheels, headlight fit and white fibreglass showing on rear quarter. Quote
Stew Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Shoot me down, but is it a real one? Just looking at the wheels, headlight fit and white fibreglass showing on rear quarter. It's the seats and the wiper that are bugging me...... Quote
leonk Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Just about to mention seats and your post came up Stew!! Quote
evilscorp Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 if you type 430 into google images they really are that ugly looking seats. Quote
leonk Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Ah.........Just noticed "Ferarri" in the title in inverted commas, is this a clue? if you type 430 into google images they really are that ugly looking seats. Have a look, different and count how many wipers a real one has! Quote
Stew Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 if you type 430 into google images they really are that ugly looking seats. Not that ugly..... Quote
evilscorp Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 its a bloody good fake, I do agree the light is wrong and the wiper looks suspect but the brakes look similar size etc. Quote
Gibby Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 It's most definitely a fake!!! Looks completely wrong!!! Quote
waltzinblack Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Looking at that picture, I'd say it's deffo a fake, it doesn't look wide enough at all, and it doesn't seem to be high enough at the back, and the windscreen, seats and roll bars are different! To be honest I hate those fake kits... so I don't feel too sad for the 'Ferrari' at all. Glad everyone involved was OK though Quote
370nel Posted June 2, 2011 Author Posted June 2, 2011 yes shes fine, and yes her fault as always . Definetley thought it didnt look quite right, but i did notice what looked to be a nice Ferrari V12 through the back window, or maybe thats a fake cover... Quote

choptop Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 What has the driver/insurance company said the car was? I know it by the by really, but what would the cost difference be between the kit car and a real Ferrari to get repaired? Quote
narcotix Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 I could tell something wasn't quite right about that "Ferarri" when I saw the picture .. The front headlight doesn't even fit the bodywork properly ... Quote
Ekona Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 It's a mk3 MR2. Easy to tell by the windscreen rake. /mr2 geek Quote
wackosr Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 I would have said MR2 as well. When you compare both pics it's a long way off. Guess they hoping not to park next to one and a quick glance as it rolls by if enough to fool you. As least the claim won't be so bad now!! Enjoy the weekend. Quote
