Ahh I have missed the conversation. I always wear a seatbelt after what happened to my brother in a Ferarri.

The 928 isn't a real sports car, it's a GT... Big, heavy, luxurious... still goes like hell and handles pretty well though.

So what happened to your brother? I hope he got out okay

True, it's a GT, but let me assure you it handles extremely well and makes all the right sounds!

No actually I am going to leave you on a cliff hanger....

























Would i ever leave you guys wondering?
I was on leave from the Army, and I came home to have lunch with my parents. My brother had just recieved a bonus and bought a Ferrari. He was driving with me in a 50's Ferrari, with the glass lights, not the flip-ups, and we were going through all the country lanes. I was wearing a seatbelt, but he was not. He slowed down to about 30MPH, to go round a corner, and we semi-drifted round. But on the other side was an old woman, who had recently had a stroke who thought she could still drive. She was going on the wrong side of the road, swerving around as if she did not have a clue. We went round the corner and came head on. she was driving a small car, and was killed instantly. My brother went straight through the windscreen, but his injuries were very slight (he is a big bloke). I almost hit my head on the dash but I was just ok, although ac small piece of metal (I do not know were from) hit me straight on top of the collar bone. He has never had a Ferrari since.

yes... going through the windscreen... im guessing the glass would have been thinner and more brittle back then, and thats what saved him?

Good to hear he got out okay, I was expecting to hear some grisly story!

It's a shame about the Ferrari...
