Ferrari gets an unwanted nose job
By Andrew Chubb December 19, 2006
It's a heart-breaking sight for car enthusiasts. This near-new Ferrari received an unwanted nose job when it ploughed into a traffic light in South Perth on Sunday.
Witnesses said the driver revved the Italian stallion at the lights next to the Windsor Hotel, at the intersection of Mends Street and Mill Point Rd, dropped the clutch and burned off around the corner – but humiliatingly lost control and slammed into the pole around 7pm.
Windsor manager Brian Hopley said the man appeared to be trying to impress bystanders in front of the packed hotel.
“He was waving at everyone in his new Ferrari, revving his engine up and making a big scene and he took off with a screech of rubber and went straight into the traffic light pole,” he said.
