Crashed Ferrari in Oz....

[Matt ATR]

Sorry if it's a repost....

If your $300K Ferrari doesn’t get you enough attention from the opposite sex what do you do?

Line up a traffic light in front of the busiest beer garden in South Perth!

These pics were taken on Sunday at about 8pm. Apparently the driver had a heavy session at the Windsor then took off from the BP, losing control and sliding straight into the traffic light. Police were promptly on the scene, where the driver was breathalysed and subsequently arrested. DUI means his insurance would be null and void.

Bit of T-cut, it'll buff out.

Just had to before someone else did

What a dumb @ss hope he feels stupid. Waste of a beautiful car!

If you drink and drive you're a bloody idiot.... if you drink and drive a Ferrari, you're an idiot squared.

Yeah I've also received a photo of the driver being taken away in a police car, the crash photos have been doing the rounds hard since Monday. This city is full of bogans with too much cash!

Know what you mean about cashed up bogans in Perth, a by product of the resources boom I guess where anyone who can swing a sledgehammer can earn $150-200k pa...

This one was not, he is apparently a Zampatti, old money (in Perth terms) and related to Ross Zampatti who used to race at Wanneroo and is now racing in Europe with some success.

perhaps a slight exaggeration... but if you're prepared to do the FIFO minesite slog, there is plenty of money to be made in WA.

still only circa $100-120k for diesel fitters FIFO so work out from that what a slogger would get

Any direct knowledge of what a Surveyor (land or engineering rather than quantities surveyor) would get over there? Finish my Bsurv end of 2007 and have heard plenty of rumours of good money there in the last few years.
