Lots of money, no brains and no skills... 
 
Coming into work this morning.  No school kids, friday traffic (good traffic), suns out, enjoying the ride into work. 
 
I've just gone round Rotherhithe 1 way system and come out the other side.  Now theres a large pub on the left hand side, and just behined it was another building.  Its been knocked down, and has a good 10ft deep hole where they are going to build another building.   Its been like it for months, all scaffolded up to stop kids getting in as its right next to a major road. 
 
So im come round the corner past the pub, to see a load of kids and 2 coppers standing there.  As i ride past, i see a red car sat in this excervation, nose in the air against 1 side.  "nahhhhh" i thought.  I went past, stopped, turned round, went back for a good nose. 
 
Yup, its only a 355 Ferrari sat in this big hole.  The front of the car sitting just on the ledge on the opposite side of the pub...  I simply cannot work out how the guys done it.  Theres a bend on my side of the road, but theres no way he could have got round it, lost control, spun round into the hole, and ended up with the front facing the right way still.. 
 
But same goes for the other way, theres a big metal barrier down the middle of the road, and although theres a bend coming from the other way, its not significant enough to loose control on.  But it seems the more likley given the cars direction. 
 
Red is the car, blue is the excervation hole, and the little red arrow is the direction. 
 
To say it was dented all round is an understatment lmao

Seems a bit of a mess, but I don't see how the type of car has anytihng to do with the accident though.
