    Someones not happy today in London

    Not so much bad parking, but I bet he wished he had parked in the front bay.





    The Truck obviously did not like the Pininfarina styling!

    He easily could have been watching it while it happened. In not sure if that's better or worse

    Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this a big truck for London? I thouht that's why they only used box trucks there.

    Its what we call a articulated lorry, So I doubt he would have seen the rear trailer ripping out the side of the Ferrari. The front cab is turning left so he would have lost use of his RH door mirror at point of impact. As for Truck size, there are many trucks this size making deliveries in the Capital and also going through town on arterial roads North to South, East to West.

    Trouble nowadays is that many Lorry And car owners follow Sat Navs religiously and do not always realise they have turned into narrow roads!

    As they say...Shit Happens!

    When I was over there and going to Cardiff every few weeks (from Arizona, ugh, don't ask) I never saw what we call a "semi" truck over there. I really only saw box trucks. I assumed for this very reason.

    There are thousands of Semi Trucks here!

    Update on that top photo,
    The yellow sign on the lamp post says Parking Suspended! So the Ferrari Driver should not have been parked there!

    This Guy was also not having a good day, I took this shot last year... There is a Ferrari Service garage just around the corner from where this pic was taken,

    The Guy came out of the dealership and then turned left onto the dual carriageway giving the car a large amount of right foot, the car went left to right, slid into the lamp post snapping off the right wheel, which then spun the car towards the bollards, the top light of the lamp post then fell off due to the shock of the impact (that's the big green thing sitting on the RH Rear wheel)!
    There was a cafe directly opposite the crash site and I just happened to be eating there!


    Usual sort of action seen at a Cars and Coffee event!
