Ferrari California seized after journo gets caught at 140mph
A California outside of an impound lot...News has reached the ears of PH that Rod Easdown, a motoring journalist in Western Australia, has been charged with reckless driving after being clocked at 230kph (142mph) while reviewing a Ferrari California. (We presume he was doing the driving bit and not the writing bit at the time).
Unfortunately, such speeds mean that the �165,000 car has to be impounded for a week under local laws, despite a request by the car�s owners to have it released early.
"There has been an application made by the owners of the vehicle to get the vehicle back,� said acting police commissioner Chris Dawson. �That application under hardship has been refused so the vehicle remains seized for seven days."
We don�t know what penalties will be faced by the driver but, considering the fact that the Ferrari�s top speed is 192mph, he should probably count himself lucky he wasn�t going any faster.
Note to Ferrari. Please lend us a California. We promise not to go faster than 70mph when anyone is watching...
