Father charged by police after allowing son drive a Ferrari
RchLuvSlly posted a blog entry in MyAutoBlog
Do you remember seeing a video of an Indian boy driving a Ferrari some time ago on this blog? Well, in case you forget, the boy is the child of a man who is, frankly speaking, very well off. Mind you, he possesses a Bentley, Lamborghini, and a Ferrari - which is the problem this time around. The boy in question was only 9-years old when the video of him driving a Ferrari F430 was taken. Amusingly, it was his father, Mohammed Nisham, who recorded the video and even uploaded it to YouTube! Heck, his father must have, somehow, felt proud of his son's actions. Let me tell you, if I were him, there would have been no way I allowed the kid drive a car, let alone a supercar, man! Not only could the kid have run over someone to his/her death, but there were also alot of other potential accidents. For your information, the car has 500bhp under its hood which is, obviously, too much for a child to handle. However, quite miraculously, though, the 9-year old boy managed to avoid hitting anyone or anything. I used the word miraculous as the kid could barely see anything over the dashboard. Nisham let his son cruise in his aforementioned supercar in his residential area, which seems to be inhabited by wealthy people. Honestly, I didn't even realise that it was India in the first place. Nevertheless, it was only a matter of time before the local police department found out about the video and when they did, they decided to charge Nisham. The father of the child was convicted for encouraging underage driving as well as allowing a child without a driving license to manoeuver a car on a public road. Nisham told the police that he did that only to grant his son's birthday wish as the child had pleaded for months for his dad's permission to drive the red car. All the same though, police still considered the action as disturbing as it was irresponsible. I agree with the police in this case, Nisham shouldn't have tried to grant every single wish his child may have, even on his birthday. You're a father, pal, which means you should be wiser instead. It was also figured that the 9-year old kid had also driven Nisham's other cars, such as the Bentley and Lamborghini mentioned earlier. In case you have forgotten the video, here it is again for your convenience. -
Video of young boy driving a Ferrari F430 in India surfaces
PetrolHead posted a blog entry in MyAutoBlog
This guy might own a Ferrari F430, but he clearly does not know how to record a video. Nonetheless, this rather interesting video of a young kid piloting a F430 around a (thankfully) empty neighbourhood in India with an even younger passenger who is probably his brother - has surfaced on the webosphere. As mentioned earlier, the video is really shaky - much worse than the movie Cloverfield, but after watching, I have a couple of questions - Is the father a bad parent for letting his young son drive a Ferrari? Whatever reasons the father has for his actions, I don't reckon it was a wise move to record the video. And even if he decide to, perhaps keeping it personal instead of publicising it would have been better. And aren't you guys surprised the kid actually managed to drive quite well? I mean he can barely see out of the windscreen yet he could control, brake and move over speed humps well. For me, I'm quite on the fence. I am rather surprised the kid didn't crash the car, and controlled the 483bhp car rather well. I mean when I was his age, I could barely drive proper on my PlayStation. Despite this, if the father really wanted to let his son experience the power of Italian exotics he shouldn't have recorded a video to publicise it to the entire world. You know what they say - do what you want, just don't get caught. I wonder what happens when a Ferrari employee watches the video. Maybe they should consider the kid as a young race driver. On a side note, couldn't the kid wear something nicer than that Ben 10 sleeveless tee? He is an Internet star after all. -

Generations and generations of our older folks have always advised us against buying our first car before our first house. Now, for the serious petrol-head, that is as unacceptable as Lindsay Lohan without makeup. We need the car, we don't just want one. We are prepared to live in our cars. If you don't agree to these Terms and Conditions, you just aren't a petrol-head and you don't have to read this anymore. Right, Now to business. The house; I'll be quoting as an example will be a conventional 3 room HDB flat located in the favourable Bishan/Ang Mo Kio area. The car the house is going against, is a Ferrari. Any one in fact. The F430, the California or the 599. But for simplicity sake, I'm going to use the F430. Of course, the house looks like the obvious choice. But is it? Well lets find out. For a HDB flat in Bishan or Ang Mo Kio that is going to set you back roughly S$450,000 just for a box in the sky. Then you still have legal fees to pay, not to mention your time spent running around on buses and trains (since you don't have a car) to find that dream home of yours. Time is money my friends and with the 2 or 3, maybe even 6 months of looking around you could have invested in the stock market, started a business. Anything! But no, you were burning fuel in the buses, spending sleepless nights thinking whether a house facing North or South was better for your future leather couch. Then, you'd need another S$100,000 to do up the house decently so that you will actually want to stay there. That is already S$550,000 gone into the house, not counting the time you spent, your transport costs and the sleepless nights. Things are looking bleak for our older folks' advice. However, what you do get at the end is a nice loft, a place to stay and more importantly, your girlfriend can marry you. So what about the Ferrari? Let me demonstrate the ease of the entire transaction. While you were running around in your bus or train, I simply switched on my computer, went to the particularly popular website called SgCarMart and typed in

The first time I saw the front end of a Lamborghini Reventon my knees went slightly weak. The large gaping holes and side strakes on the left and the right sides were another unique way to channel air to the car's radiators and also to cool down the brakes. This front end styling was then used on the Gallardo Superleggera and the Murcielago Superveloce. However, no one told Japanese Tuners cum used car resellers, maintenance garage, car insurance agents extraordinaire Super Veloce that they could not graft it on to a Ferrari F430. And so they did just that. Super Veloce has done something most Ferrari and Lamborghini owners would never have thought of. The F430 Super Veloce Racing, as it is now referred to, has the bumper of a Murcielago, intakes and side slits/strakes, skirts, rear diffuser and all as well as that Lamborghini-like GT Wing used on the Murcielago SV too. The front end however looks slightly out of place with the more rounded overall styling of the F430. Of course, this is just my opinion of the F430 SVR. Aside from the very mixed up looks, which at this very moment may be causing Enzo Ferrari to be turning in his grave, the F430 SVR has NOVITEC goodies added to it. The NOVITEC wheels are 19inch at the front and 20in at the rear and the NOVITEC suspension lowers the ride height even more than standard for that totally showcar look. The 4.3liter V8 has been left standard except for a NOVITEC muffler, which should free up more prancing horses and a lot more of the fabulous noise that the F430 makes. The sole demonstrator unit was previewed at the 2010 Tokyo Import Car Show and as usual, no prices have been announced. Would this be considered as blasphemy or plain Japanese innovation?

How many Italian Stallions are we gonna lose before year's end?

No...not again. Honestly my heart can't take much more of this. It's barely been two months since a Blu Chairo Ferrari F430 was turned into a submarine in a basement carpark somewhere in Bukit Timah. My heart sank when I saw a picture of the smashed and splintered remains of a Rosso Corsa Ferrari F430 on the front page of a local Chinese newspaper. Being effectively illiterate in Mandarin, I got the girlfriend to read it out for me. But looking at the pic, it couldn't have been good news anyway. I honestly can't tell what model it used to be. Not from the picture anyway. As far as I can tell, it has on those 360 Challenge Stradale rims but it could've been a 430 owner that opted for those. Since then, it's been confirmed (from the above pic) that it used to be an F430. The report reads that this poor baby got a little too intimate with a guardrail along Nicoll Highway early on Saturday morning. By early I mean like 7am in the frigging morning. No points for guessing what the owner was probably doing when he crashed. Definitely not taking a leisurely early morning drive that's for sure. Ahhh...how wonderful it is to be laid in the cradle of affluence. Instead of relating the usual weekend activities of shopping, movies or hanging out with friends, on Monday morning to your mates, you get to say, "Oh...nothing much...just crashed a Ferrari 430" This is how it probably used to look when it left the Maranello stables... -
If you've kept up with the papers recently, you would've probably read about the flash floods that've occurred in the Bukit Timah prime district area. Flood waters reached knee-level and some cars were even fully submerged beneath the murky waters. It's hardly surprising but nevertheless traumatic to hear some exotic cars falling victim to the flood. A barely month-old Ferrari F430 was reported to have been completely submerged in the Tessarina condominium carpark. This comes only weeks after watching a video of a Bugatti Veyron plunging into a lake somewhere in the States. It
