Bad. Very, very bad.

[Porsche Pilot]

This is just downright naughty!

When in Monte Carlo, everything is done in style. And that includes crashing your car.
This was the moment when a woman driver caused a £700,000 five-car pile-up as her Bentley collided with a Mercedes, Ferrari, Porsche and Aston Martin.
Disaster struck as the hapless blonde negotiated the traffic around the Place du Casino in her £250,000 Bentley Azure.
The driver of a white Mercedes S Class worth £75,000 was the first victim as the 2.7-ton Bentley scraped down the side of it before ploughing into a £143,000 black Ferrari F430.

An Aston Martin Rapide worth £150,000 and an £80,000 Porsche 911 also came a cropper. The driver and her two passengers then suffered the embarrassment of being surrounded by tourists as they were unable to open the doors of the convertible.
It is estimated the crash will cost more than £40,000 with the Ferrari, Porsche and Aston Martin requiring new front wings and bumpers. The Bentley will need the same repairs, plus a new door.

Ruud Poot, editor of European motoring website Autogespot, said: 'You probably couldn't find a worse place in the world to crash your car than outside Monaco's Place du Casino in the middle of the summer.'

A staggering £685,000 worth of cars were shunted in a matter of minutes - enough to make the Top Gear boys wince in pain and criticise who caused the incident.

I love how they point out that it was a woman driver. They wouldn't have said male driver. I call sexism.

Hey Ed,

I was reading that on the news.. it might take just a bit more then a wool pad and Meguiar's M105 to buff out those marks! :laughing:

I think the gender is irrelevant after all of that. The driver should simply be referred to as "the defendant".

I'm just giving grief. Most bad drivers are women because they are always putting on makeup, talking on the cell phone and yelling at the kids in the back seat all at the same time.

Yeah, I dont think Mike's Sunday 102 class could even tackle those sand, cut and buffs! The horror, the horror.

You have to realize that it was a European story and they commonly refer to female drivers in not such nice tones as in Europe the male driver is the "best of the best" (not my theory or thought in any way)...

Ok I am thinking some Ultimate Spray Compound and wool... lol...

Or the "rich idiot that destroyed a bunch of nice cars"

I'm filling a camelback with Collinite 845 and preparing to HALO into Monte Carlo. I will post if I require reinforcements. If I don't make it, bronze my Flex...

God's speed Rayaz! We will not forget you! Your buffing shall not be in vain.

That is awesome, haha. I would ignore the accident and just start handing out business cards all over the place, lol.

LoL looks like she ploughed into the Benzs rear with the Ferrari headed the other way and banged it right in the bumper.

In some places they even have women-only parking garages:

/\ that is pretty funny. Where is the mans parking garage? lol. I have walked through the casino sqaure in Monaco and have seen the beautiful cars that park there. It dosent really surprise me that incident accured considering that they park in a big traffic circle on the outside rim in front of the casinos.

Yeah, I've been there too. I get the Mercedes and Ferrari but I'm still trying to figure out how the Porsche and Aston got in on it. What, they were all going for the same parking spot at 110mph?

Thats right!!! All the women drivers were going 100 plus for the closest spot to the casino!! Lol!

As I've said before. The close parking place is something that we cannot pass up
