realized he couldn't brake in time, the Post reported. He swerved and the car spun onto the sidewalk and hit the pole, he told thenewspaper.
The mechanic, who wasn't cited for any violations, said his
insurance would cover the damage. He said Greenwich resident Greenhill, 70, was only concerned that no one was hurt and thathis car would be replaced, the newspaper said.

Oh my god, i cant tell you what i am thinking right now having watched that for the third time....un funking believable.....

There is something to aspire to! I could do the bottle of wine after work, and errrr walk round my garden!

I would be doing bottles of Cristal whilst stumbling round them.

Fair play to the guy, has probably worked very hard, but that collection is obscene, not to mention the fact he hasn't even driven the feckin Carerra GT

I have to say it....He's a cock!!!! But what a guy!
