Oops, it's a £700,000 prang... Hapless blonde crashes her Bentley into a Merc, Porsche, Ferrari and Aston Martin

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.
Chaos: A staggering £685,000 worth of supercars were involved in the inpromptu game of demolition derby
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.
But with recent research suggesting women drivers are more likely to be involved in an accident, they could be forgiven for adhering to the stereotypical view.
Scientists at the University of Michihan looked at 6.5million car crashes and found a higher than expected number of accidents between two female drivers.
They also discovered that women have a tough time negotiating crossroads, T-junctions and slip roads.

Guys, guys, guys . . . . .She's blond and driving a quarter of a million POUND STERLING car (roughly $400k US). You think SHE gives a rat's ass about insurance? Sugar Daddy will pay for this little prang out of pocket change, guaranteed.
I wonder why M'ette didn't post this? She's blond, she just got back from a trip to "KentuckY", and . . . . (I'll be in the corner - hiding!!!!!!!!)

I think that would even put a frown on Progressives' ever perky Flo's face. :'(

Blonde jokes welcome.
A young blonde girl in her late teens, wanting to earn some extra money
for the summer, decided to hire herself out as a "Handy woman" and started
canvassing a nearby well-to-do neighborhood.
She went to the front door of the first house and asked the owner if he
had any odd jobs for her to do. "Well, I guess I could use somebody to paint
the porch" he said. "How much will you charge me?" Delighted, the girl
quickly responded, "How about $50?" The man agreed and told her that the paint
and brushes and everything she would need were in the garage.
The man's wife, hearing the conversation, said to her husband, "Does she
realize that our porch goes ALL the way around the house?" He respnded,
"That's was a bit cynical of me, wasn't it?" The wife replied, "You're right.
I guess was starting to believe all those dumb blonde jokes." A few hours
later the blonde came to the door to collect her money. "You're finished
already?" the startled husband asked. "Yes," the blonde replied, "and I
even had paint left over so I gave it two coats." Impressed, the man reached
into his pocket for the $50 and handed it to her along with a $10 tip.
"Thank you," the blonde said, "And, by the way, it's not a Porch, it's a
Lexus."
