Default Uday Husseins Ferrari 550 Maranello

oh dear, it looks a sorry state....
these pictures have been circulating on the internet and are said to be of the late Uday Hussein's Ferrari 550M taken just last week at one of his former palaces in Iraq.

LOL, that's the most vrecked Ferrari I've ever seen. It seems like a 30 year old car that has been rotting in a swamp or something.

hahahahaha, and a new Ferrari dashboard too

and I have a video of one of Saddam Hussein's sons Ferrari 355's being raced around the streets, i'll dig out the video, its weird quality, its big, but you might need the DiVX codec to view it, it will say there is an error with it probably, but click play video and it works... just but well worth watching some very lucky people thrashing a sport tuned 355 around the Iraqi streets

Wow.. really does look like a 30 year old car rotting in a swamp. Did the Iraqi's just hate him so much they had to destroy his car or something?

That guy drives like a 15 year old girl. Who owns a ferrari and cannot afford another front bumper that was most likely sheared off by doing something as stupid as what he was doing in that video?

are you 2 really stupid enough to think thats his own car, it belongs to one of Saddam Husseins sons, they stole it when he was killed, there is no front bumper because when they stole it, it was smashed off, probably by going over a kerb stone or something, and these are just poor people who probably for the first time have ever driven a ferrari...

But if the son was still alive at the time.. they would've tortured them beyond belief.

I assure you, thats not how I drive.

Somebody can't hold the damn camera still

The front bumper is off, because that is how you hot wire a F355

That spoiler really ruins the look of the car.
