Blondes Have More Fun?

A blonde woman driver is hotly denying stereotyping of her character following a somewhat embarrassing and costly incident during which she damaged her car and several others in Monaco. The woman was driving a Bentley worth around €287,000 when she collided with a Mercedes valued at some €86,000.

A blonde woman driver is hotly denying stereotyping of her character following a somewhat embarrassing and costly incident during which she damaged her car and several others in Monaco. The woman was driving a Bentley worth around €287,000 when she collided with a 2796 Mercedes valued at some €86,000. She scraped her car down the side of the white Mercedes and then rammed into a black 5489 Ferrari worth some €160,500.

During the incident she also managed to damage an 3677 Aston Martin worth around €160,500 and a 3489 Porsche 911 with an estimated value of €92,000. To compound her embarrassment, the incident was seen by hundreds of onlookers as it occurred outside a popular casino in the principality. The cost of the repairs has not so far been revealed. The size of her insurance premium is likely to climb somewhat following this crash, although given that she could afford such an expensive 6197 Bentley it seems unlikely that she will not be able to afford the cost increase.

One car, a Ferarri 599 GTB was driven by the mother while the other car, an Aston Martin, was driven by the daughter.

    Some friends in the US decided to turn a toy Barbie Mustang car into something rather more entertaining. The men fitted a Honda motorcycle engine and new driveline components, including go-kart tyres. This allowed a top speed of 115km/h, which it could reach in just six seconds, making it rather lively and spirited and also difficult to control. The vehicle is definitely not likely to be made road legal any time soon and nor is a model with a similar performance ever likely to be available from the original
