Who needs a handbrake when you can use a Ferrari


No you aren't imagining things, that 458 Italia really has got a Citroen resting against the back of it.

Spotted by Pistonheads member - R5YUP, this highlights one of the risks of using a supercar in a city. While it isn't known whether the Citroen owner actually bump parked into the Ferrari or if it rolled into the Ferrari due to the handbrake being left off, we do know that there was either one very annoyed Ferrari owner or one very scared Citroen owner.


Comments on Pistonheads include these two from AyBee "Imagine coming back to your car to find it's bumped the rear of a 458, I think I'd cry" and R.P.M "I expect that reaction would be very much in the minority. A tenner says 90% of the population would just jump in and drive off". Which sadly would probably be true of most people.

Other posts include stories of poorly treated supercars seen in London, one (courtesy of Pork) being a brand new 599 bump parked and another being (courtesy of MitchT) seeing a 456GT with the front bumper duct taped and a 355 Spider with the rear bumper duct taped.

All in all if you want to keep your supercar (or any car for that matter) in as good a condition as possible don't park in cities.
