thats probably the insurance compound. there is no scorche marks or bent metal on the fence ;)

 

I'd of thought if it had been moved it would more than likely be in a skip!! :rofl: :rofl:

can just see the assessor now. "hummmm, i think it may be a write off but would have to check with my colleague!!!"

actually if you take a look at it the car burst into flames, the initial crash may not have been as bad as it looks. it also says it crashed into a feild but the pic shows it at a compound, it has prob been dumped there after removal from the feild

Just a little insider information for anyone who cares;) Ferraris and Lambourghinis can have a habit of bursting into flames. Both Lambos and Ferraris can have the same fuel supply line lay out which has always been a bad design from the get go. Mainly because of the rear engine lay out. The main problem is when the fuel pipes are removed for say an engine out. Then they are over tight end and crack. These fuel lines are usually found right above the hot manifolds and drip if they are cracked:eek: Thats why one usually finds that a ferrari or indeed a Labmourghini may set on fire very soon after a service. There is a patten that we are aware of.

So as a preventative measure the fuel line connections are checked regularly for cracks ect. I check mine regularly.

So by the very nature of this lay out, if a car is crashed. The fuel lines can rupture and spray onto the manifolds. Now you know :p

Thats intresting , and your telling me that they havnt though tof a way around this yet, they race these things all the time, crashes are gonna happend quite offten , strange thats all i can say on that

Yes its true, its quite a controversial point/subject thats often discussed on the Ferrari forums. Just do a search on Ferrari and Lambourghini fires this year alone. Obviously if one does not move in the Ferrari circles then one does not hear about it. Its a sin in 2009 that they cant get it right yet:(

Fortunately.....or unfortunately in have had 4 Ferraris to date and one Lambourghini, so thats why i spoke up. Two guys i personaly know have lost there cars a few weeks after there services.

Heres a video for your audio pleasure;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqRNLJL9uEc Now these can burn...in both ways:eek:
