[MrCat]

Hi All,

I got these set of pics in a mail under the topic "Aravinda`s Ferrari crashed by a speed bike".. Just thought of posting the pics for u all, but i`m not sure wedr this is ture or not..

Any of u know anything about this..?

Man, it sure looks like its in SL, Yet i saw him drive out of his queens road residence day before and it looked all normal.

Dont know if it happened within the last two days

[gunat]

this is AD's (thanks for the correction guys) old Ferrari...and this happened about 4 years ago, if i'm not mistaken. The car had been sold to a well known business magnate...and the bike was being ridden by one of our well known Musicians/guitarists. He had quite a few broken bones after that accident, but was back on his feet again soon enough.

All happened at the Galle Rd exit of a once-popular nightclub Cas*ades.

Yeah man, thats the F355. Old old pics. Stingray the current car is a 360M. At least, the current car in SL is a 360M

And Gunat, I think that was Aravinda De Silva's, not APs.

ummm, 360M Spyder, before anyone beats me up about it

[GTAm]

Yes it happend a while ago when that business magnate crashed into the drummer who's bike was coming on the wrong lane. Or was it the other way around.

Anyway this car was sent to Singapore and 'repaired' and was last owned by a night club owner, but is at the Porsche show room, which is also owned by the business magnate who crashed it !!

[Velocity]

Damn, first time these pics are being released i guess.

Hope no one pulls stunt on the Aston Martin DB9....

Thats for sure, I think the front crumple zones in the Ferrari must have taken a lot of the force out else I cannot see how somebody on a motor bike could have survived considering the state of his bike

I mean it must have hit at some force since even the doors are out of alignment and thats not the crumple zone !

I was in the UK two wks ago and went to 2 Italian car fests. I saw many many gorgeous exotics. And loads of Ferraris. Not just saw but heard them rev to the red line, do sprints up a historic hill, flat out on a track etc.

There were Lambo V12s - Countach, Diablo and Murcs and V10s Gallardo, There were Ferrari V12s (Phew where do I start?) and flat 12s (TRs and BBs) and V6s (Dino). There were Ferrari V8s - 308/328s, 348t, F355, F360M and F430s.

But the best sound for me was the F355! only closely matched by the wastegate popping sound of a Lancia Delta Integrale.

Unless you mean in another country that no one knows about, you guess wrong.
