Yup... okay..... reverse gear on your bike not working too well.... LOL
Trevor - I was reacting to your idiotic comment - that's it. Period. Didn't worry about your reasoning, because to that point you had not provided any. I do not need to "research" my reaction.
Do yourself a favour in the future - put this lot BEFORE your silly comment.

c) speed was an issue on the wet roads
So before you criticize in such a derogatory tone someone elses spur of the moment flippant comment do your research as well.
Isn't it funny how people with money are so lucky!
People who don't have it always think that a golden spoon is shoved into your mouth if you do have it.
It makes me smile every time i hear it because like you said Chris and Co you make your own luck and often luck is another easy word for.... you guessed it HARD WORK! That being said whoopsys thats gotta make you sad that all those beautiful cars are pretty much trashed now. Lucky nobody was seriously injured!
I have to chime in here. Trevor, first you called them arsewipes and that karma's a female dog. You then even went on to say that they could potentially be Yasuka members. Talk about casting aspersions.
And, you're telling /others/ to do their research, first?
WTF?
C'mon.
If it were me, I'd be apologising for making a moronic comment, not digging your hole deeper as you try to shovel yourself out of it by following up with trying to find facts in the story to try and regain some kind of credibility. Surely, you must appreciate the resentment by multiple posters here towards you due to your initial comment.
I'll jump in here too, I work very hard to have nice things, things I enjoy, after all, isn’t that why we work hard? I was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth, in fact I was born and raised in Frankston raised in a housing commission estate by poor hard working parents. I worked hard at my education, got good grades and then worked hard to build a career in the ICT industry, I am now comfortable, my car is not a $300,000 piece of machinery but it is irreplaceable, especially to me, I continue to work hard to afford to keep it, I turn all my own spanners and have a grin a mile wide when I drive it, I don’t measure miles per gallon I measure it in smiles per gallon. I don’t believe I am an Ars!wipe, most people think I am a pretty decent guy. My thing is nice cars and motorbikes (astronomy and guitar), I also own a 2011 final edition Yamaha Vstar 1100, because I work hard. I make no apologies for it and dislike arbitrary comments about it, I have had comments like this said about me while I have been parked in my car, I do take exception to it. Now excuse me while I take my temper for a nice drive in my Corvette to calm down.
And this, is singly, one of the best comments I've also read on IIS.
(disclaimer: apart from some absolute gems from Miaplacidus and Bert)
Yep saw this... Such a waste of sublime engineering.
You could speculate all you want...but unless you were there at the time you'd clearly have no idea of what *really* happened.
Maybe some dude in the lead car was trying to roll a cigarette... while crusing in his Testarossa... a Prius popped up in the wrong lane...so he rolled his car instead...who knows!
Suffice to say... the end result I'd suggest is not on any sane F-car driver's agenda for a day out.
Interestingly....apart from an impending massive insurance claim....no significant injuries.
A cool thing about Ferrari's (and probably Lambo's) is they stop faster than they go
Was wondering when you would chime in Peter....
Great shot of the car. Did you climb the tree next to it to take the shot? Or did you have an extendable ladder popped in the bonnet?
There are idiots abound on the road whether they drive a Lambo/ Merc, Prius/Colt, Commode/ Falcon or motorcycle/ bicycle.

PLUS 1 on this, Please insert Mazda MX5's (NC2 & NB8C) and BMW as motorcycles. and I too consider myself to be a reasonable person.

Standing on top of a parking area bollard did the trick.
Mid-engine cars can be very "snappy" in the wet...mine has bitten me in the bum on this handling point (no damage other than my foolish pride) and I never want to go there again
I suspect this lesson was not previusly learnt by the Japanese pile-up victims.... such a waste
big fella
