Default Battersea Ferrari crash

Ferrari 458 speciale hit a group of pedestrians.

Car in question appears to be the same colour/stripe combo as the 458 speciale belonging to a well-known motoring journalist with questionable taste in shirts.

The arrested driver is 35, so what 35 year old motoring journalist do we all know with questionable shirt taste?
I can't think of any.

Out of all the motoring journalists I know(some personally), I don't think there's one who DOESN'T have questionable taste in shirts...

Hope everyone involved is alright.

Given that the one on Ferrari's website has the same stripe etc I'd say it's probably a standard design so could be anyone's. The number of 458's is admittedly smaller but it's like trying to link me to any incident involving a dark green V70.

All Volvo drivers hate cyclists
